Brandon Adams Primed for OTX Junior Middleweight Tournament Finale Against Andreas Katzourakis
Brandon “The Cannon” Adams is set to make a triumphant return to the ring this Friday at Corey Studios in Atlanta, where he faces Andreas Katzourakis in the final of the Overtime Boxing OTX Junior Middleweight Tournament. This highly anticipated 10-round junior middleweight showdown will be streamed live on DAZN and YouTube, offering boxing fans an exclusive look at these two top contenders.
Adams’ Road to the Final
Adams (26-3, 16 KOs) has overcome significant obstacles to reach the tournament final. After a three-year break from the ring, he came back strong with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Francisco Daniel Veron on August 30. On the same night, Katzourakis (14-0, 10 KOs) secured a split decision win over Robert Terry. Now, the two fighters will meet for the OTX Junior Middleweight title in what promises to be an exciting and high-stakes match.
For Adams, this fight is more than just another victory; it’s a chance to prove that he’s still among the best, despite the setbacks of his career. After his career-defining win over Serhii Bohachuk in 2021, which made Adams the first to crack Bohachuk’s chin, he faced significant promotional challenges that stalled his momentum. Now, with the opportunity to fight for the OTX title, Adams is determined to show that he is back at his best.
Katzourakis’ Aggression vs. Adams’ Skill and Versatility
Katzourakis is known for his aggressive, come-forward style, looking to pressure his opponents and brawl in the ring. But Adams is confident that he can outbox and outfight his opponent, no matter how the match unfolds. “If he wants to box, I’ve got him there. If he wants to fight on the inside, I’ve got him there,” Adams said, highlighting his versatility and experience.
With more than 13 years of professional experience, including a tough title challenge against Jermall Charlo in 2019, Adams has faced some of the best in the sport. At 35, he is focused on making his mark in the competitive 154-pound division, one of boxing’s deepest and most talent-rich weight classes. “I just want the opportunity to fight those big-name fighters,” Adams said, eager to prove himself against the elite of the division.
This upcoming fight against Katzourakis will be a crucial test for both fighters, but Adams is ready to make a statement and remind everyone that he is still a top contender in the junior middleweight division.
