Adames faces Gausha on June 15

World Boxing Council middleweight champion, Dominican Carlos Adames, will defend his title against contender Terrell Gausha, on June 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Gausha, 36, (24-3, 12 KOs), a 2012 U.S. Olympian, won his most recent fights against Brandyn Lynch and KeAndrae Leatherwood, after losing a 12-round unanimous decision to Tim Tszyu in March 2022.

The other two losses for Gausha, a 14-year-old professional, were against Erickson Lubin in 2020 and Erislandy Lara in 2017. Both by decision.

Adames, WBC middleweight champion, wants to stay active and demonstrate this, with a resounding victory, to underline that he is the best 160-pound fighter today.
