Serhii Bohachuk is upbeat about remaining on this Saturday’s card in Riyadh after his beforehand scheduled opponent, Israil Madrimov, pulled out of the competition. The previous WBC interim junior middleweight champion Bohachuk (24-2, 23 KOs) will face Ismael Davis (13-1, 6 KOs) within the 12-round co-feature slot on the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Undercard High quality
Even with Madrimov pulling out of the battle, Bohachuk vs. Davis remains to be by far the very best match on the Fury-Usyk 2 card. There’s nothing on the undercard when you get previous the Bohachuk battle, which is gloomy. Ishmael Davis stands zero probability of beating Bohachuk, however he’ll give it an excellent strive earlier than getting mowed down in six rounds. Davis can’t punch, and he’s simply British-level.

Johnny Fisher vs. David Allen
It’s a dismal card slanted towards British followers, and we’re speaking ultra-hardcore, nerdy followers. They’re not overly proud of the lackluster fights, largely domestic-level fighters who won’t ever be champions and even contenders. Surprisingly, Turki Alalshikh didn’t draw the road with the promoters, and this may NOT occur. If I had been the cash man, I’d snort the promoters out of the room in the event that they provided me these similar fights.
Madrimov got here down with a case of acute bronchitis, which raised the eyebrows of disbelieving followers. He’ll be preventing Vergil Ortiz Jr. on February twenty second in Riyadn.
Bohachuk-Davis might steal the present from the primary occasion Fury-Usyk 2 rematch on the Kingdom Enviornment in the event that they go to battle on Saturday night time. The previous WBC interim junior middleweight champion Bohachuk’s battle in opposition to Vergil Ortiz Jr. on August tenth was one of the thrilling fights this yr, as each guys had been throwing bombs.
Vergil Jr. fell aside by the eighth spherical after getting dropped for the second time by Bohachuk. After that knockdown, Ortiz Jr. bought on his bike and went into survival mode for the ultimate 4 rounds to win a controversial 12-round majority resolution. Most would agree that Vergil Jr. didn’t win, however it was Las Vegas; it goes with the territory.
Bohachuk Unfazed
“I’ve good opponent, I’ve good present. After all, I’m upset at) Madrimov. Now it’s okay, I’ve an opponent, I’ve a present,” stated Serhii Bohachuk to Struggle Hub TV, reacting to Israil Madrimov pulling out of their battle this Saturday, December twenty first, in Riyadh.
Ishmael Davis misplaced his final battle to Josh Kelly by a 12-round majority resolution on September twenty first on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in London. It’s unknown why Turki didn’t use Kelly as Bohachuk’s opponent reasonably than the man he beat, Davis.
That may have made rather more sense, however even Kelly can be a poor selection. Bohachuk would destroy him in addition to Davis, and he’s positively going to make straightforward work of him on Saturday. This can be a horrible mismatch.
