“Sergey Bogachuk ranks second in the rating although he should go to the first position”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
In the undercard, a famous Ukrainian boxer will be held in the first middleweight (up to 69.9 kg), Sergey Bogachuk (26-2, 24 KO). His rival will be 36-year-old American Brandon Adams (25-4, 16 KO).
On the eve of this confrontation of the promoter of Ukrainian Tom Leffler Protected a protest to the World Boxing Council (WBC). The reason – Bogachuk is a compulsory contender, but ranks second in the rating of the division. According to the rules of the organization, Sergei should take the first position.
“In the latest ratings, I noticed that Jaron Annis was above Bogachuk, who was put in second place. This is illogical if Sergei is a mandatory contender. In addition, it is illogical because Annis has never fought in this category.
The third reason – Jaron will fight for the WBA belt in the next match and should not be in the first place according to another organization, ”Leffler said. The World Boxing Council promised to send the answer to the Bogachuk team in the near future.
