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, despite being behind on all three judges’ scorecards, managed a spectacular comeback to knock out Bohachuk in the eighth round, who at that moment remained undefeated. This time, both fighters will face each other before a much larger audience, at the Las Vegas Raiders stadium.
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 a very entertaining fight last August. Adams, for his part, did not fight for three years after his victory over Bohachuk. In 2024, his record is 2-1, and he is coming off a split decision loss to Andreas Katzourakis in November. The YouTube prelims 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. Recently, Franklin was 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:- Junior Lightweight: Reito Tsutsumi (2-0, 1 KO) vs. Javier Martínez (7-2, 4 KOs), six rounds
