Junior middleweights look to break through as Serhii Bohachuk meets Brandon Adams in a Ring City USA main event on Thursday from the Municipal Boxing Gym Felix Pagan Pintor in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. The bout was supposed to happen in December but Bohachuk contracted COVID-19 the week of the fight, so it got rescheduled for this date.
Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KOs) is a hard-hitter from Ukraine who has finished every opponent he's stepped inside the ring with. Like many boxers, the 25-year-old didn't get much ring time in 2020 because of the coronavirus and only ended up fighting once when he stopped Alejandro Davila in September. Now, Bohachuk looks to make a lasting impression in his first main event on American television as he treks towards world title contention.
"The question is: 'Are they ready for me?' I will always be ready for the big world title fights," Bohachuk stated to Boxing Social.
Adams (22-3, 14 KOs), the season five winner of "The Contender", rebounded from his unanimous decision loss to WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in June 2019 with a knockout win of Sanny Duversonne in December.
It should be an exciting main event as a win for Bohachuk or Adams vaults them into the top five.
