Derevyanchenko is Making a Comeback!

Ukrainian middleweight (up to 76,2 kg) boxer Sergiy Derevyanchenko (14-5, 10 KOs) has teased career news on the horizon.

"News coming soon," Derevyanchenko posted, sharing a photo with his manager during the Garcia-Haney press conference.

The last time Sergiy stepped into the ring was in June 2023, where he faced a narrow defeat against Jaime Munguia. This bout was hailed as the fight of the year by Boxing Scene and ESPN.

In 2024, Derevyanchenko was slated to face Rowdy Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 KOs). However, the bout, initially scheduled for January 6th, was canceled due to an injury the Ukrainian boxer sustained during a training camp.

Sergiy's manager later expressed their continued desire for a rematch against Munguia:

"Everyone acknowledged the Derevyanchenko vs. Munguia fight as the best bout of the year. It's a rematch that cannot be missed. I don't know a single person who wouldn't want to see this rematch."
