Sergey Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs), the "interim" WBC champion at junior middleweight (up to 69.85 kg), disclosed the largest amount he has ever received as a purse for a fight, which was for his bout against Bryan Mendoza (22-4, 16 KOs).
Bogachuk on His Largest Purse:
- Was the fight against Mendoza the highest purse of your career? How much was it exactly?
- Yes, that was the largest purse of my career. It was in the range of $70,000 to $100,000, - Bogachuk said.
This was Sergey's first title fight and the first fight of his career that went the full 12 rounds. Bogachuk won by unanimous decision. He later confirmed when his next fight would take place.
