Serhii Bohachuk Seeks Revenge Against Brandon Adams on the Canelo vs. Crawford Undercard
Boxer Serhii Bohachuk will have the opportunity to avenge his 2021 knockout loss to Brandon Adams. Both pugilists will face each other again on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, as part of the preliminary card for the highly anticipated fight between Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford. UFC and Zuffa Boxing CEO Dana White revealed that the Bohachuk-Adams 2 fight will be 10 rounds, at a catchweight of 156 pounds. This bout will be added to five other preliminary fights that will be broadcast on YouTube.The first encounter 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 the scorecards, managed a spectacular comeback to knock out Bohachuk in the eighth round. This time, they will face each other before a much larger audience at the Raiders’ stadium in Las Vegas. Since his defeat to Adams, Bohachuk has recorded a 7-1 record, with his only other loss by majority decision against Vergil Ortiz Jr. – whom he knocked down twice in an exciting battle – last August. Adams, for his part, did not fight for three years after defeating Bohachuk. In 2024, he has a 2-1 record and is coming off a split decision loss to Andreas Katzourakis last November. YouTube’s preliminaries will also include 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 rising heavyweight star Moses Itauma, 20, as a possible future opponent. Other fights on the preliminary card that will begin to be broadcast at 5:30 p.m. ET on the Netflix YouTube channel:“This is a rematch of a brutal fight between these two,” White commented on Instagram Live. “Literally, Adams had to win by knockout, and he did.”
