Interesting, that for the first time in his career Bogachuk won his fight without a knockout. Now he has 24 wins on his record (23 by knockout) and the only defeat in professional training, which he suffered in 2021 from the American Brandon Adams.
In his last fight in July 2023, Bogachuk knocked out in the first round of Ghanaian Patrick Aloti.
Note that Bogachuk was supposed to box with American Sebastian Fundora for the full vacant WBC junior middleweight belt. However, the Ukrainian was deprived of his championship fight – Fundora replaced the injured Keith Thurman in a fight against Timofey Tszyu, where the WBO and WBC junior middleweight titles were at stake.
