Serhii Bohachuk and Vergil Ortiz Jr. weren’t their first choice to fight against each other, but their upcoming match is now seen as the ideal scenario for both boxers. Golden Boy Promotions and 360 Promotions have announced an eagerly awaited bout between these top junior middleweights. Bohachuk will defend his interim WBC 154-pound title in a DAZN event on August 10 in Las Vegas.
Tom Loeffler, the founder of 360 Promotions, mentioned, “Serhii has faced numerous obstacles, including delays due to visa issues following his country’s invasion. He was granted special permission to pursue his professional boxing career.” Bohachuk (24-1, 23 knockouts) has been unbeaten since a loss in 2021 and secured the secondary WBC 154-pound title in a recent fight against Brian Mendoza.
Initially slated to fight Sebastian Fundora, Bohachuk found himself in this matchup after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. On the other side, Ortiz is gearing up for his first shot at an official world title following a period of limited activity. The stage is set for an exciting showdown between Bohachuk and Ortiz, with both fighters hungry for victory in this high-stakes encounter.
This clash between the two talented boxers promises to be a marquee event in the boxing world, displaying their skills and drive to excel. Fans can anticipate a fierce battle as Bohachuk and Ortiz strive for triumph on the grand stage.
