Zuffa Boxing 06: Shane Mosley Jr. Faces Serhii Bohachuk in Middleweight Showdown Zuffa Boxing returns for its sixth event of the inaugural year on Sunday, May 9, 2026, in Las Vegas. The card is headlined by a middleweight bout between Serhii Bohachuk and Shane Mosley Jr., two fighters with contrasting styles and histories. Bohachuk, a former WBC interim champion, enters the fight off a thrilling split decision victory over Radzhab Butaev at Zuffa Boxing 02. The Ukrainian fighter had to endure 10 punishing rounds against Butaev to secure his place as a rising star in the promotion’s middleweight division. Now, Bohachuk aims to build on that momentum against the son of legendary boxer Shane Mosley, who has struggled to match his father’s legacy despite a solid career. Mosley, 33, is coming off a decision loss to Jesus Ramos for the interim WBC middleweight title in December. A victory would have positioned him as a future title contender, but the loss has relegated him to the Zuffa roster, where he hopes to establish himself as a key player. The younger Mosley’s challenge against Bohachuk is seen as a critical opportunity to prove his worth. Analysts note that both fighters have flaws that could be exploited, but their skills also make them legitimate contenders. Bohachuk’s unique style, which has frustrated opponents in the past, is expected to test Mosley’s resilience. The undercard features several high-stakes matchups. The co-main event pits Julian Rodriguez against undefeated prospect James Perella in a welterweight clash. Rodriguez, a former standout in Zuffa Boxing’s debut event, has overcome odds to defeat top prospects like Cain Sandoval. However, Perella, with a 21-0 record and 15 knockouts, is a formidable opponent.#paramount #shane_mosley_jr #serhii_bohachuk #julian_rodriguez #zuffa_boxing
