Former middleweight title challenger Brandon Adams will now face Sanny Duversonne Thursday night, Ring City USA announced Monday afternoon.

The eight-round junior middleweight bout will take place at Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, California and will air live on NBC Sports Network (9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT).

Adams (21-3, 13 knockouts) was originally scheduled to face unbeaten prospect Serhii Bohachuk before the hard-hitting Ukraine-born fighter withdrew from the fight late last week. A source told The Ring on Sunday that Bohachuk withdrew from the fight due to testing positive for COVID-19.

The 31-year-old Adams, who resides in the Los Angeles suburb of Norwalk, last fought on June 29 of last year, losing to WBC titleholder Jermall Charlo by unanimous decision. The loss snapped a four-bout winning streak, which took place over the course of the most recent season of ‘The Contender’ series in 2018.

Duversonne (11-2-2, 8 KOs), who resides in Avon Park, Florida, lost by split-decision to unbeaten Chordale Booker on November 4. That fight took place at the nearby Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old had won his last 10 bouts before suffering his first loss as a pro at the hands of prospect Lorenzo Simpson on October 9.

The Adams-Duversonne fight will headline the second card by “Ring City USA”, a new boxing broadcast and content platform. NBC Sports Network will air the cards that will take place on Thursdays throughout 2021. A ring was set up in the parking lot outside the famed gym that is owned by Freddie Roach.

“Ring City USA” will work with several promoters, including DiBella Entertainment, Golden Boy Promotions, Mexico-based Promociones del Pueblo, and Global Boxing Stars.

In the co-feature, unbeaten welterweight prospect Brian Ceballo (11-0, 6 KOs) will square off against Larry Gomez of West Jordan, Utah in a 10-round bout. Ceballo, who is co-managed by David McWater and Tim VanNewhouse, is a former amateur standout who is promoted by Tom Loeffler.

Rounding out the card, welterweight Gor Yeritsyan (13-0, 11 KOs) of Yerevan, Armenia will face Mexico’s Mahonri Montes (36-9-1, 25 KOs) in an eight-round bout.

In a clash of unbeaten cruiserweights, Princeton Hairston (1-0, 1 KO) of Lynchburg, Virginia will square off against Houston’s Danielle Perkins (1-0) in a six-round bout.

'I think this might be the only podcast I've ever done.'

After 80 minutes of enthralling conversation, this wasn't the biggest takeaway fans had from Brandon Adams' recent podcast with poker legend Tom Dwan, but it certainly was one of the more surprising.

Brandon

The pair naturally spent time on poker, including Dwan's origins and mental approach to the game, but also touched on the election, the US economy, and the status of legalized online US sports betting.

You can check out the podcast episode for yourself below.

Dwan on High Stakes Poker

Having recently played in every session of the new High Stakes Poker, Dwan reminisced about his first experience playing on the show.

'The first few times I played High Stakes Poker, I think my no-limit game was quite a bit sharper than most peoples. And the gap was pretty big. So I was able to get away with playing a bunch of hands. Plus it was fun and obviously, it was my first time playing on TV. I was trying to play more hands and everything worked out.

'When I was bluffing, it would work out. When I had it, people would pay me off. I just ran really well. Now a lot of people’s no-limit games are sharper; I haven’t played much no-limit lately so my game isn’t super sharp. But these are deep-stacked games and sometimes, people use goofy sizes.'

First Taste of Live Poker

Dwan said that his first experience of live poker was at the Vic in London, which hosted the European Poker Tour stop for the first five seasons. He subsequently went to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure where he encountered Jean-Robert Bellande.

'I was watching him playing $25/$50, and in a single-raised pot, he called 20k in a 70k pot with ace-jack on a jack-high board.

'I thought to myself 'what is this idiot doing'! And then he won the pot! Coming from online where this never happened, I started thinking: 'maybe I should start learning about this live poker thing'!'

Dwan the Student

With over $3m in live earnings according to The Hendon Mob, Dwan admits his transition from online to live had a learning curve to it.

'Back then it wasn't easy to get high-level poker education. I knew I had played more hands in the last year than the guys [at the table], and there were certain strategic things or concepts that I knew better, but I tried to learn from a lot of the people playing live stuff that they knew that I didn't.'

'Back then it wasn't easy to get high-level poker education...'

This included live tells, an alien concept to an online crusher, as well as the problems that boredom has on a live player at the table.

'Things like where you don't get a hand for an hour, so you bluff it off. Because you're not multi-tabling at home more comfortably.'

Dwan says that if someone came up with a new game, he'd be good at it. But the learning process was the important part.

'How good you were at a new game wasn't important day one, but it's how fast you learn and pick up from other people.'

The Future of Poker

Before the pandemic, Dwan had switched his attention to live short deck with some 'pretty big' short deck games going on for a while. However, his days of grinding for an entire day may be behind him.

'Over the last few years I don't feel as sharp after 20-30 hours as I used to, but I also haven't played that many long sessions. So it's probably part of it. I'm more out of practice. I used to have those much more regularly.'

As well as playing, Dwan still keeps an eye on legislative developments, especially in the United States. He believes there is an opportunity for sites to expand, as long as they police bots and cheaters 'aggressively.'

'I think there's a large opportunity coming with the US opening up'

'People in the US love poker and they haven't had an easy way to play since Black Friday. I think there's a large opportunity coming with the US opening up. If sites police it well, I could see there being somewhat of a golden age. Maybe not quite as much as the first...'

Dwan repeated the concept of a 'golden age' on numerous occasions, especially as part of the wider legal gambling space that poker could be a part of.

'Sports over the next few years...it's pretty unlikely it doesn't play out. There are different scenarios where it could be bigger or smaller. But with poker, a lot depends on how aggressive the operators are on how to level the playing field, and there's not one answer.

'Hopefully it happens, but we'll see. It's still undecided, but if it happens there could be a really good spot for poker in the next few years'
