Part 9/11:
Looking ahead, Verhoeven is exploring pursuits beyond kickboxing, especially acting. He's already starting to build his career in Hollywood, training with stars like Kevin Hart, Mark Wahlberg, and others. He discusses his upcoming debut in a movie where he plays a black-ops operative, motivated by the challenge of transitioning from athlete to actor.
While he admits he's passionate about mixed martial arts, he states that his primary ambition isn't shifting to MMA, as his focus remains on being the best in kickboxing. However, he's open to opportunities, especially if a compelling offer arises. He notes that with organizations like ONE FC now branching into kickboxing and Muay Thai, the sport is evolving globally, and increased competition can only elevate the quality and visibility.
