Bohachuk vs. Madrimov fight history 

August wasn't a good month for either man, with Bohachuk dropping the interim WBC light middleweight title to Vergil Ortiz Jr. in a decision defeat. That fight came a week after Madrimov suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Terrance Crawford in LA. 

That loss was the first of the Uzbek fighter's career, having won ten of his previous eleven fights and drawing the other. 

However, he goes into this clash to face a man who's only lost twice in 24 outings.
