Six-fight Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford prelims announced featuring ex-Anthony Joshua foe

The Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford preliminary card has been announced in full.

Six fights have been added to the early portions of the bill, which is set to take place on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.

    Topping the pile is a rematch between Ukraine’s Serhii Bohachuk (26-2) and America’s Brandon Adams (25-4).

    The last time they met in March 2021, Adams came from behind to knock out Bohachuk in the eighth round.

    Both men carry serious power in both hands, especially Bohachuk, who has either stopped or dropped all of his opponents thus far.

    Further down the card is a compelling heavyweight clash between Ivan Dychko and Jermaine Franklin.

    Dychko (15-0) enjoyed a fruitful amateur career that included two Olympic bronze medals and a pair of World Championship silvers.

    The towering 6ft 9n Kazakh holds notable wins over the likes of Zhilei Zhang, Bakhodir Jalolov, Efe Ajagba and Filip Hrgovic in the unpaid ranks.

    Despite this, he has never been given a shot in the pros.

    That is set to change in just over three weeks’ time when he locks horns with the incredibly durable Franklin.

    ‘The 989 Assassin’ is best known by British boxing fans for losing on points to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

    He has been extremely inactive since then and will be ending a 17-month hiatus against Dychko.
