Vergil Ortiz Jr. is gearing up to take on Serhii Bohachuk on August 10th in Las Vegas for the WBC interim Junior Middleweight title. Bohachuk poses a significant challenge to Ortiz Jr.’s unbeaten record and is considered a tougher opponent than the originally planned Tim Tszyu. Ortiz Jr. will need to strategize on how to counter Bohachuk’s aggressive fighting style in this high-stakes match.
Bohachuk clinched the WBC interim Junior Middleweight title by defeating Brian Mendoza through a unanimous decision. Having moved up to the 154 weight class just last year, Ortiz Jr. has only fought three times and has yet to face a rival as skilled as Bohachuk. The fight will be broadcast live on DAZN, with the ringwalks set for 11 p.m. ET/4 a.m. UK.
The contrast between the two fighters is evident in Bohachuk’s solid background in Ukrainian amateur boxing before transitioning to the professional circuit. This background gives him an edge in experience against top-tier opponents. The fight is scheduled for Saturday, August 10th at 8 p.m. ET/1 a.m. UK, with the main event ringwalks scheduled for 11 p.m. ET/4 a.m. UK.
