The stakes for the Serhii Bohachuk-Sebastian Fundora fight March 30 will be raised. BoxingScene.com has learned that the WBC is expected to sanction Bohachuk-Fundora for its full super welterweight title. Jermell Charlo would be designated the WBC’s 154-pound “champion in recess” in conjunction with that move.
A pair of all-action, high-stakes showdowns will top a stacked four-fight pay-per-view event as two-time world champion Keith “One Time” Thurman duels rising star and reigning world champion Tim Tszyu in the main event while 140-pound world champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Mexican star Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz meet in the co-main event on Saturday, March 30 in the inaugural PBC Pay-Per-View available on Prime Video from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Sebastian Fundora is set to challenge for his old title. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that a deal was reached for the towering junior middleweight to face Serhii Bohachuk for the vacant interim WBC junior middleweight. The bout will take place March 30 in Las Vegas, as part of a four-fight Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Amazon Prime Pay-Per-View event.
Serhii Bohachuk and Sebastian Fundora is a fan-friendly fight. At stake is an interim world title fight, which could make the fight more compelling.
By Keith Idec - No one saw it coming. No one, that is, other than Brian Mendoza. The junior middleweight contender was well aware that Sebastian Fundora’s defensive deficiencies made the 6-foot-6 southpaw susceptible to left hooks. Though undoubtedly down on the scorecards entering the seventh round April 8 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, Mendoza realized that if he could connect cleanly with one of his left hooks that he could change the course of their 12-round fight for Fundora’s WBC interim super welterweight title.
By Keith Idec - Robeisy Ramirez’s optional opponent stood 6-foot-1, highly unusual for featherweights. Rafael Espinoza still wasn’t supposed to be this tall of an order for the heavily favored former WBO 126-pound champion December 9. It was evident early in their 12-round title fight, though, that the relentless Espinoza posed problems for Ramirez that the Cuban southpaw didn’t anticipate in what emerged as BoxingScene.com’s 2023 “Upset of the Year.”
Brandon Adams is primed and ready for a big year when the calendar turns to 2024. Adams of Los Angeles is now eager to get back in the ring after his eighth round stoppage over then perfect Serhii Bohachuk on March 4, 2021.
Sebastian Fundora could once again challenge for the interim WBC title, though not in a bid to avenge his lone career defeat. A ruling was made during the 61st annual WBC convention that would allow Fundora to re-enter the interim title mix. It would come versus Serhii Bohachuk in lieu of a previously contracted rematch versus Brian Mendoza against whom he suffered a stunning seventh-round knockout defeat this past April to abruptly end his secondary title reign.
Even when he was undoubtedly down on the scorecards, Brian Mendoza was confident that he would land the type of left hook that abruptly altered the course of his fight against Sebastian Fundora. The hard-hitting Mendoza connected with comparable punches many times while sparring in preparation for their 12-
