Bohachuk Reacts to Madrimov-Ortiz Fight Announcement

Ukrainian junior middleweight boxer Serhii Bohachuk has spoken out for the first time about the announcement of the fight between his former opponent, Vergil Ortiz, and his upcoming rival, Israil Madrimov.

“This fight is just a joke. I say, talk about it after my clash with Madrimov. To me, it’s just not serious. You can’t plan like this in boxing—it’s not football or other sports.

One fight can change everything, change your career. This is a very serious sport. You never know what can happen in a bout,” said Bohachuk.

Bohachuk is set to face Madrimov on December 21 in the undercard of the Usyk vs. Fury rematch. The Ortiz vs. Madrimov fight is scheduled for February 22.
