Bohachuk on Possible Collaboration with PBC: "I Think There Will Be Interesting Offers"

In an interview with vRINGe, the "interim" WBC super welterweight champion Serhii Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs) discussed his collaboration options after defeating American Bryan Mendoza (22-4, 16 KOs).

- Have there been any offers from Premier Boxing Champions? Are they willing to make you another fight on their platform? Are they interested in collaborating with you?

- So far, there haven't been any specific discussions. I only know that everyone liked it. They were satisfied with the performance – congratulating, thanking, shaking hands.

As for collaboration... I'm not going to take anyone's word for it. Until I see some specific offers, specific contracts, and agreements... Anyone can tell stories.

I think I caught their interest. They liked not only my performance but also how I presented myself before and after the fight. That means at press conferences, during the official weigh-in. So, I think there will be interesting offers.

But all that will come a bit later. First, a bit of rest.

- PBC is not the only real option for you. In WBC, there's now the champion (Sebastian Fundora), an "interim" champion (Bohachuk), and the mandatory challenger - Charles Conwell, who this month debuts for Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy. It's possible WBC will sanction your fight with Conwell to determine one contender.

- Sometimes it seems to me that WBC doesn't really favor Conwell (laughs). Somehow he can't manage to get a title shot...

Now he's with De La Hoya. Let's see what happens next.

- It's possible that you'll have a choice - to negotiate with PBC's Haymon or with GBP's De La Hoya.

- It's possible. For me, it's simple. The main promoter, the key figure in the team - Tom Loeffler. He's the person I trust. He's honest and respectable.

Obviously, he understands this business more than I do. If there are any offers and options, we will definitely rely on his opinion, on what he says, what he advises. Because he understands it more.

- What did your trainer Manny Robles say about your performance? Was he satisfied?

- Sure he was! Why very satisfied? Because everything we worked on before the fight went according to the scenario we prepared. Everything's great. All cool.
