Bohachuk and Adams to rematch on Canelo vs. Crawford undercard
Serhii Bohachuk will have the opportunity to avenge his 2021 knockout loss to Brandon Adams. The highly anticipated matchup will take place on the preliminary card of Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford, on September 13th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. UFC and Zuffa Boxing CEO Dana White revealed that Bohachuk-Adams 2 will be a 10-round fight, agreed at a weight of 156 pounds. This fight will be added to five other preliminary fights that will be broadcast on YouTube.The first meeting between Bohachuk (25-2, 24 KOs) and Adams (25-4, 16 KOs) took place in a more modest setting, under COVID-19 restrictions, at the Félix Pagán Pintor Municipal Boxing Gym in Puerto Rico. Adams, who was losing on all three scorecards, managed to come back to finish Bohachuk, then undefeated, in the eighth round. This time, they will compete in front of a much larger audience at the home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Since his defeat to Adams, Bohachuk has recorded a 7-1 record, with his only other loss by majority decision to Vergil Ortiz Jr., whom he knocked down twice in an exciting battle last August. Adams did not fight for three years after defeating Bohachuk. In 2024, his record is 2-1 and he comes to this fight after a split decision loss to Andreas Katzourakis in November. YouTube preliminaries will also feature 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Ivan Dychko (15-0, 14 KOs), who will face Jermaine Franklin in a 10-round heavyweight bout. Franklin (23-2, 15 KOs) is known for his durability and has gone the distance in his losses against Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte. Franklin was recently mentioned by 20-year-old rising heavyweight star Moses Itauma as a possible future opponent. The other fights on the preliminary card that will begin to air at 5:30 p.m. ET on Netflix’s YouTube channel are:“This is a rematch of a brutal fight between these two,” White commented on Instagram Live. “Literally, Adams had to win the fight by knockout, and he did.”
