In a thrilling bout on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Vergil Ortiz displayed grit and determination, surviving two knockdowns to secure a majority decision victory over Serhii Bohachuk. Ortiz was floored in Rounds 1 and 8, but his relentless spirit saw him rally back, earning scores of 114-112, 114-112, and 113-113. This victory not only preserved Ortiz’s perfect record but also positioned him for a potential shot at the WBC interim title.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and Oscar De La Hoya have both said they want to make Terence Crawford vs Vergil Ortiz and Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda on the same card.

With this win, Ortiz sent a strong message to his critics, proving he can compete at 154 pounds and go the distance. The victory sets Ortiz up for a possible showdown with the winner of the upcoming Sebastian Fundora vs. Errol Spence bout, and he is also being considered as the leading contender to face Terence Crawford. Ortiz’s performance solidified his standing as one of the top fighters in the division, and fans are eagerly anticipating his next move.
