Bogachuk Discusses His Most Important Fight Yet

In an interview with Luckypunch.net, WBC super welterweight (up to 69.85 kg) title contender Serhii Bogachuk (23-1, 23 KOs) shares his anticipation for the upcoming duel against Sebastian Fundora (20-1-1, 13 KOs) set for March 30th in Las Vegas, USA.

"I always knew that a world championship fight was inevitable. We've been working towards this goal for years, especially in the last few.

The stripping of Charlo's title didn't come as a surprise to me. On the contrary, I found it odd that he held onto the belts for so long without defending them.

Fundora and I weren't friends, but we've sparred together for a long time, maintaining a good relationship. However, we don't communicate outside of that. He's a very unconventional boxer, a tall southpaw who's good at fighting at mid and close range. That's quite rare in boxing.

He has certainly changed since we last sparred, as have I. My training approach, the tactics, and my defense have all evolved. I've become more strategic in the ring.

Manny Robles and Abel Sanchez are very different coaches. I can't say one has contributed more than the other because their approaches to boxing are distinct. From both, I've gained a wealth of physical and technical skills.

Finding sparring partners like Fundora is almost impossible, but we've found a few similar fighters. Their job is to challenge me with the toughest sparring sessions, giving me no room to rest.

This is the most crucial fight of my career, a moment I've been working towards for the last seven years since turning professional. Winning the world championship belt is a dream and a goal I'm pursuing," said Bogachuk.
