In March, Sergei will try to become the WBC junior middleweight champion
Ukrainian Sergei Bogachuk (23-1, 23 KO) commented on the upcoming fight against the American Sebastian Fundora (20-1-1, 13 KOs) for the title WBC junior middleweight champion.
“Fundora is a good fighter. He is tall and always in great shape. I know Sebastian well because I sparred with him quite a lot a few years ago. Now I see that he has changed – he has become better and stronger.”
“As for me, I feel great. This is a big fight for me. I needed this fight. I need this title,” Bogachuk said.
Bogachuk and Fundora will fight on March 30. The Premier Boxing Champions event will take place in Las Vegas, USA. A full WBC junior middleweight title will be on the line instead of an “interim” belt.
Bogachuk holds the WBC Continental Americas title and is ranked second in the WBC rankings. Fundora is a former interim WBC champion, he is in 3rd position in the ranking. A face-to-face meeting between the boxers was scheduled back in November last year.
In the last fight, Bogachuk knocked out Ghanaian Patrick Allotey in the first round. For the Ukrainian, this was the second defense of the WBC Continental Americas title.
Fundora lost to Brian Mendoza in April and lost his interim WBC title.
