The promoter expects an exciting fight
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya commented on the upcoming fight of his ward Jaime Mungii (41-0, 33 KOs) against Ukrainian middleweight Sergei Derevyanchenko (14-4, 10 KOs).
“This is the best fight we can have for Jaime Munguia right now. Every fight Jaime is in is a tough fight, especially for Derevyanchenko because of his style. It will be a clash of titans and total war. He is a fan favorite when he enters the ring. He is a warrior. And that’s why they love to look at Jaime Munguia.”
“People know that Derevyanchenko is going to fight. He is a dangerous fighter. People know it will be an uphill battle. Difficult fight, full-fledged fight. Munguia is a fan favorite and a special fighter. He only gets better, stronger, faster and wiser.”
Derevyanchenko and Munguia will meet in the ring on June 10th. The fight is scheduled in California (USA) and will take place at the Toyota Arena. The entire evening of boxing will be broadcast by the DAZN streaming service.
In the fall of 2021, the Ukrainian was planning a fight with Munguia and had to hold an auction. But the Mexican team refused to fight.
In the last fight in the summer of 2022, Derevyanchenko won on points against American Joshua Conley. By defeating Conley, Sergey interrupted a series of three defeats in a row. Before that, the Ukrainian lost to Gennady Golovkin, Jermall Charlo and Carlos Adames.
Munguia last November won a knockout victory over Gonzalo Gaston Coria. The Mexican also beat Jimmy Kelly and Dimitrius Ballard last year.
