Rico Verhoeven is set for the biggest fight of his career. However, it’s certainly an unusual one. A kickboxer by trade, his upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk will see him step into a boxing ring for the first time since April 2014. For most of his career, Verhoeven has competed in Muay Thai and kickboxing, but a hefty payday appears to have lured him back to boxing.

Speaking of a hefty payday, with the fight scheduled to unfold on Saturday night at the Pyramids of Giza, many fans have been wondering about the 37-year-old’s finances. If you’re also curious about how much the Netherlands-born fighter makes, here’s everything you need to know—from his net worth to his career earnings and more.

What is Rico Verhoeven’s net worth?

According to a December 2022 report from Fight Matrix, Rico Verhoeven’s net worth was estimated to be around $3 million. However, there’s no clear picture of what his exact net worth is today. That said, after spending years competing in the biggest kickboxing promotion and taking part in numerous high-profile fights, it’s safe to assume his fortune has grown significantly since then.

However, the excitement did not last long, as the 37-year-old was involved in a minor road accident just hours after picking up the luxury SUV.
