Fight Preview
Sergiy Derevyanchenko (12-0, 10 knockouts) was a 2008 member of Ukraine’s Olympic team that now resides and fights out of nearby Brooklyn, New York. Daniel Jacobs (34-2, 29 knockouts) also resides in Brooklyn and in fact shares the same trainer with Derevyanchenko in the person of Andre Rozier, who will work with Jacobs for this fight. Derevyanchenko and Jacobs are therefore neighbors and teammates in a sense that know each other quite well.
This is the third time that Jacobs will fight under his exclusive contract with HBO and this matchup against Derevyanchenko could prove to be the most challenging of all, even despite the fact that he did lose a close decision to Gennady Golovkin in the span of his deal.
Jacobs has stated how excited he is to be fighting in his hometown and for a world title. Jacobs vowed to not take the opportunity lightly and that he is preparing hard for what he expects to be an “incredible fight.”
The confident Jacobs considers himself to be the best middleweight in the world and stated that this HBO championship bout provides him with the opportunity to prove that he is one of the best in the world. In fact, part of Jacobs deciding to sign with HBO was with the understanding that he would get a world championship title opportunity.
Sergiy Derevyanchenko will also be primed and ready and has long dreamed of a shot at a world championship belt. He said that the fight is just one step away from his dream and that he will not miss the chance at a title belt. Derevyanchenko had a stellar record as an amateur of 390-20 and has had a relatively short career as a pro. But Derevyanchenko also currectly stated that he has defeated all comers and that a shot at a title has been a long time coming for himself.
Derevyanchenko and Jacobs have trained with each other and are actually friends. But as Derevyanchenko has stated it will be all business in the ring and he also boasted that he will not be denied. In fact he stated that the “belt will be mine.”
Derevyanchenko has been peppering promoters with his desire to fight for a world championship against the very best and it has now been determined that he is ready for such an opportunity. Derevyanchenko is a student of the sport and his opponents and that is why he has a strong chance to pull of the win.
