The highly anticipated Serhii Bohachuk vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr. clash is scheduled for this Saturday at the Michelob Ultra Arena, located within Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bohachuk is slated to defend his interim WBC super welterweight title against Ortiz Jr. in a 12-round bout.

Meanwhile, Ortiz Jr. is fresh off a spectacular first-round knockout victory over Thomas Dulorme in April. The 26-year-old American captured the vacant WBO welterweight title against Maurice Hooker in March 2021 and has since successfully defended it twice.
