Sonny Duversonne replaces Serhii Bohachuk in Thursday Ring City USA main event

Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing rising knockout machine Serhii Bohachuk in Thursday’s Ring City USA main event. Mike Coppinger reports that the 25-year-old is out with illness, leaving Sonny Duversonne to take his place against Brandon Adams.

Duversonne (11-2-2, 8 KO), a longtime Florida club fighter, has lost two straight in the last two months, but that’s not nearly as bad as it looks on paper. He scored a flash knockdown on prospect Lorenzo Simpson in October, then deserved the win against the heavily favored Chordale Booker a month later. He should give Contender winner Adams (21-3, 13 KO), over whom he boasts an insane 10-inch reach advantage, a solid fight, even if losing the all-action Bohachuk knocks off a solid chunk of the show’s appeal.

The card also features a welterweight clash between unbeaten Brian Ceballo and once-beaten Larry Gomez, plus Armenian finisher Gor Yeritsyan against Mexican journeyman Mahonri Montes
