Serhii Bohachuk vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.: Full fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue and more
The Serhii Bohachuk vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr. clash is an important one for Ukraine's Bohachuk (24-1, 23 KOs), who currently holds the interim WBC super welterweight aka light middleweight/junior middleweight (154-pound) title. It's a pivotal fight for America's Ortiz (21-0, 21 KOs) as well and is deemed by many as a significant step up in competition for him.
The 29-year-old Bohachuk would be eyeing a potential title unification clash against WBC super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora. On the other hand, the 26-year-old Ortiz would be looking to keep his unbeaten record intact and add a valuable scalp to his collection of vanquished foes.
The Bohachuk-Ortiz matchup serves as the main event of the fight card, which features other exciting matchups as well. Incidentally, Sebastian Fundora's sister, Gabriela Fundora, is booked to put her IBF women's flyweight championship at stake against Daniela Asenjo.
Moreover, the card will feature the legendary Cecilia Braekhus' first professional boxing bout since Oct. 2023. The Colombia-born Norwegian fighter was initially scheduled to fight Slovenia's Ema Kozin for the latter's WBC and WBO women's super welterweight titles. Nevertheless, Kozin was reportedly unable to procure a U.S. visa. Resultantly, she can't compete on the card.
Instead, Braekhus is expected to fight America's Maricela Cornejo for the interim WBC women's super welterweight title at the event.
