Boxing News: Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Serhii Bohachuk Channel, Start Time, Betting Odds

Las Vegas plays host to a WBC interim world super welterweight title fight.
(DAZN Boxing)

Just a few miles down the street from the UFC APEX pits Serhii Bohachuk defending his WBC world super welterweight title against the always dangerous Vergil Ortiz Jr. at Mandalay Bay.

Both men have showed mutual respect for one another the past several weeks, including at the final pre-fight press conference ahead of Saturday night’s DAZN boxing card.

Ortiz told reporters that his familiarity with Bohachuk will pay dividends once the pair finally throw down.

It's exciting because we've sparred before," Ortiz said of Bohachuk (H/T CBS Sports). “When two fighters don't know each other they got to feel each other out. Well, I don't think there's going to be a feeling out round. We're going to pick up right where we left off and it's going to be an exciting fight."

The winner could be in line to fight several names betting the landscape of the 154 and 168-pound weight-classes entering 2025, including names like Sebastian Fundora and Terence Crawford, to name a few.

But for now, the focus remains whether or not Ortiz can remain perfect, as he is currently riding a 21-fight unbeaten streak, or if Bohachuk can make it a slugfest and attempt to spring a would-be monumental upset.

Check out the particulars below, as the event culminates from Las Vegas beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Depending on how long the undercard takes, ring walks should commence a little after 11 p.m. ET for the featured bout.

The action airs live on the DAZN streaming service.
