Oleksandr Usyk verteidigte am Samstagabend seinen WBC-Schwergewichtstitel gegen den ehemaligen Kickbox-Champion Rico Verhoeven. Der Ukrainer stoppte Verhoeven in der 11. Runde durch technischen Knockout vor den Pyramiden von Gizeh in Ägypten. Bis zum Abbruch durch Ringrichter Mark Lyson machte der 37-jährige Niederländer eine gute Figur in seinem zweiten Profiboxduell überhaupt und ließ den ungeschlagenen Routinier Usyk teils schlecht aussehen. Der 39-jährige Titelverteidiger hatte Probleme in den Kampf zu kommen, war zu statisch und setzte zu wenig Treffer. Verhoeven boxte unorthodox, lief stets agressiv nach vorne, brachte harte Hände ins Ziel und lag bei vielen Box-Experten nach Punkten vorne. Der Abbruch in Runde 11 erfolgte eine Sekunde vor dem Ende der Runde und kam für viele Box-Fans zu früh. Mit seiner überzeugenden Leistung empfahl sich Verhoeven für einen Rückkampf. Gleichzeitig wartet auch Agit Kabayel weiterhin auf seine Chance auf einen WM-Kampf gegen Usyk. Rückblick: Amari Jones vs. Vincenzo Gualtieri Robin Sirwan Safar vs. Yamil Alberto Peralta Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven Jack Catterall vs. Shakhram Giyasov Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr. Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Alem Begic Ermal Hadribeaj vs. Bakary Samake Mourad Aliev vs. Raphael Akpejiori Vorschau: Roman Fress vs. Armend Xhoxhaj Denis Radovan vs. TBA Dmitrii Bivol vs. Michael Eifert Vadim Tukov vs. Sebastian Horacio Papeschi Mukhammad Shekhov vs. Yerny Betancourt Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Jose Velasquez Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Alexander Espinoza Amanda Serrano vs. Cheyenne Hanson Lourdes Juarez vs. Yokasta Valle Stephanie Han vs. Holly Holm O’Shaquie Foster vs. Raymond Ford Adam Azim vs. Steve Claggett Juergen Uldedaj vs. Muhsin Cason News: WBO: Dmitrii Bivol oder Michael Eifert müssen als nächstes gegen Callum Smith kämpfen.

What does purpose demand when affordability and supply chains intersect? Retail and consumer-facing sectors operate at the frontline of cost-of-living pressures. Leaders must navigate supplier relationships, workforce expectations and consumer affordability simultaneously. This episode examines how fairness is interpreted across interconnected value chains. What responsibility does a leader hold upstream and downstream? How are trade-offs made transparent? Purpose becomes the anchor that clarifies responsibility across complex economic ecosystems — ensuring commercial viability does not erode trust. Key Themes: System-wide fairness and accountability Supply chain responsibility Cost-of-living pressures Transparency and stakeholder trust Callum Smith, Chief Merchandise and Marketing Officer Kmart Australia Limited and Dr Peter Collins - Executive Director, Peter Collins and Associates

Personality politics isn't just a modern problem – it started centuries earlier with an aristocrat called Charles James Fox. You can trace the roots of modern political celebrity back to this 18th-century provocateur, whose charm, scandals and theatrics helped redefine what leadership looked like. Fox built a movement around himself rather than his policies, offering an early blueprint for the dangerous style of politics reshaping democracies today.
