“That’s Crap.” Bohachuk on Claims He Refused to Fight Ennis

Ukrainian Super Welterweight Serhii Bohachuk responded to Eddie Hearn’s claim that he allegedly turned down a fight with American Jaron Ennis.

Right now I have a fight, I’m in camp. I’m preparing for Brandon Adams, I have an opponent, and he’s offering me this fight. Hey, I have a fight, I have an opponent. Okay, after this fight — fine. It doesn’t matter to me. I never said “no,” never. I’m interested in fighting the best. After this fight, okay, let’s talk about a fight with Boots and with Fundora. It doesn’t matter. I’m interested in fighting the best because they are the best. I can show my best version, I can show my best skills against the best fighters. For me, fighting the best means giving my fans the chance to see me against the best boxers. Of course, I want to fight and I never refused. That’s crap. I never said “no,” never. It doesn’t matter who. I’m ready for anyone. If they tell me a little earlier, and not a month before my fight saying, “Let’s go now, next week” — no, that’s not serious. Give me some time, time to prepare, said Bohachuk.

On September 13, Serhii Bohachuk (26-2, 24 KOs) will face Brandon Adams (25-4, 16 KOs) in a rematch. Detailed analysis and fight statistics are available at the link.

The next opponent for Jaron Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) will be IBO Super Welterweight champion Wisma Lima.
