The promoter of Serhii Bohachuk, Tom Loeffer, hopes he has set up for a big fight against Vergil Ortiz Jr., the winner of the Sebastian Fundora against Tim Tszyu 2, or the IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev.
Bohachuk’s big struggle hope
Former WBC Tus-Time Champion of 154 pounds of Bohachuk (26-2, 24 COs) wants to fight one of the above names on the 13th of September Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Undercard in Las Vegas. None of these fighters will be available in September to fight Bohachuk.
Turki’s undercard mandate
However, Turki Alalshikh said he wanted to fill the bottom map with prospects. He said he wanted to “bring the undercap to Young, hungry fighters which deserves the chance to act under the bright lights. “
#1 WBC-approved junior middleweight contender Bohachuk (30) does not fit Turki’s description of ‘young’ fighter. Yet he is definitely “hungry” and deserves on the Canelo-Crawford undercard, provided he is linked to a name fighter like Vergil, Tzyu or Fundora.
“We want to give Bohachuk a big fight in the fall. Fundora, Tszyu, Ortiz or Bakhram are all big names and opponents to Bohachuk. Serhii doesn’t care who he is fighting because he believes he is the best in the division,” the promoter Tom Loefler said The ring.
WBC 154-Pond Champion Fundora defends Tszyu next month on July 19 in their re-broadcast in Las Vegas. It would be too fast for the winner of the struggle to return two months later to face a Slugger like Bohachuk on the Canelo against Crawford card in September. Even if Alalshikh was open to the idea, it’s not enough time for the Fundora-Tszyu 2 winner to recover from what’s likely to be a grueling battle.
The IBF ordered Bohachuk to start negotiating with his compulsory Erickson Lubin, and that fight still does not have a scheduled date.
Mykal Fox Rematch needed
Given the controversy surrounding Bohachuk’s last battle against Mykal Fox on May 17, he should try to set up a re -broadcast with him. Many boxing fans felt that Fox was robbed in that battle after getting the better of Bohachuk in many of the rounds, and that he had beaten him in the tenth round.
The referee ruled it a slip, but the repetitions showed that Fox Bohachuk caught a loud blow when he came forward. Clearing the controversy over the fight would be a good idea for Bohachuk, because he looked awful throughout. I watched the fight and won Fox 8-2. It wasn’t close at all. Bohachuk was dominated by the Lanky 6’3 ″ Fox.
