Davis: I’ll beat Bohachuk – Boxing News 24

Ishmael Davis is confident of defeating former WBC interim junior middleweight champion Serhii Bohachuk on Saturday in their 12-round fight at Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk 2 card in Riyadh.

Although Davis (13-1, 6 KOs) has only fought one world champion (Josh Kelly) in six years and lost, he feels he has the boxing skills to defeat Bohachuk (24-2, 23 KOs). ) is a decision.

That’s what he wants. He won’t try to knock Bohachuk down, which makes sense because he’s not a big puncher, and he doesn’t throw combinations. Davis is being brought in recently after Bohachuk’s former opponent, Israil Madrimov, pulled out of the fight due to illness.

Ishmael sees that Bohachuk is not a good fighter inside and thinks that he can shoot him from a distance. They must do so because they will be cut off if they spill or if they stand.

One Trick Pony?

“I’m in the best shape of my life. He is a good pressure fighter. I don’t think he is very talented, but he forces people. When they get the respect they want, people are devastated,” said Ishmael Davis iFL TV about Serhii Bohachuk. “They can’t do that with me.” I’m ready for a real fight.

“I know what this war is like for me. It’s a great opportunity. This guy is #6 in the world at the international level. If I beat this man, I don’t want British honor. I learned something from Josh Kelly’s fight. I wasn’t really prepared for that fight. I’m ready for this.

“I know I will win on Saturday night. I don’t care what anyone says. He’s not a better boxer than me, and I don’t believe he’s good enough to beat me. They like to go inside. I don’t think he’s really that good inside. He is like a one trick horse. “What you see is what you get,” Davis said.

Bohachuk will be putting more pressure on Davis, trying to turn this fight into a dirty fight. Davis says he’s ready for a fight, but we’ll see if he really is.

Davis Game Plans

Davis said: “He’ll throw a lot of guns at you, and you pay him, or he pays you.” “I have seen him suspended. I’m not going to stop. I will win, but I can only see myself winning this battle. After winning Serhii, I will be traveling on the international route and not the British route.

“It is very difficult because there are criminals there, and they have many things that I did not know. I like a challenge,” Davis said.
