Vergil Ortiz Jr. still believes that a fight between he and former junior middleweight titleholder Tim Tszyu will still happen.

Junior middleweight contender Vergil Ortiz Jr. is willing to run it back against his old amateur rival Ryan Garcia but is focusing on his next opponent Serhii Bohachuk

Tim Tszyu doesn’t like waiting around. But that’s what he has been forced to do, primarily because of the grisly cut he sustained on his forehead during his March 30th bout versus Sebastian Fundora.

Instead of getting bogged down in Ryan Garcia’s suspension or the weight difference between last year’s lightweight Garcia and current junior-middleweight elite contender Vergil Ortiz Jr. (21-0, 21 KOs), De La Hoya pounced on the suggestion the bout could take place next year.

The scrap between knockout artists Serhii Bohachuk and Vergil Ortiz Jr. is shaping up to be a scintillating slugfest, and the fighters gathered Thursday at Golden Boy headquarters to start stewing interest for their summer showdown.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Serhii Bohachuk will arguably provide each other's toughest test when they meet at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Aug. 10 – a fight that shouldn’t be expected to go the 12-round distance.

Promoter Oscar De La Hoya has confirmed that Vergil Ortiz Jr. will face Serhii Bohachuk on Aug. 10.

Super middleweight Bektemir Melikuziev says he doesn't care who he fights, but he's happy to be returning to the ring Aug. 10 on the main undercard portion of the Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Serhii Bohachuk main event in Las Vegas.
