The rematch between Serhii Bohachuk and Brandon Adams has been confirmed, along with other bouts, for the Canelo vs Crawford prelims. The event takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 13.
Adams (25-4, 16 KOs) of Lynwood, CA and Bohachuk (26-2, 24 KOs) of Ukraine first met in March 2021 in Puerto Rico, where Adams won the fight via eighth-round TKO. Their second encounter is scheduled for 10 rounds at middleweight.
LA-based Bohachuk has won two fights since losing his interim WBC super welterweight title by majority decision to Vergil Ortiz Jr. last August. In his previous outing in May, the 30-year-old Ukrainian defeated Mykal Fox by unanimous decision.
Going up against Adams, Bohachuk makes his middleweight debut and looks to take revenge.
Former title challenger Adams is coming off a defeat by split decision to Andreas Katzourakis last November. The defeat snapped his four-fight winning streak. Earlier in his career, the Whittier, CA-based 36-year-old challenged Jermall Charlo for the WBC middleweight title but dropped a unanimous decision.
