The Ukrainian middleweight boxer shared his expectations from the next fight.
Sergei Derevyanchenko called the next fight against Mexican Jaime Munguia a serious opportunity for himself. According to the Ukrainian boxer, a victory against such an opponent will significantly increase his chances of winning a title fight in the future.
At the same time, Derevyanchenko does not expect an easy confrontation, because, despite his young age (26), his future opponent is a very prolific fighter in the professional ring.
“For me, this fight means that I have a chance and I want to take it.
The Mexican is, indeed, a top fighter. He has a strong character, he, despite his young age, has a lot of experience.
Munguia had a very good amateur career, and he started boxing professionally early, specifically, at the age of 17. Then he did fights to gain experience and get a record.
However, as I said, he has had some very good opponents lately. And he showed them competitive boxing,” said Derevyanchenko in an interview with XSPORT.
It will be remembered that the date of the fight between Munguia and Derevyanchenko was known earlier.
