Sergiy Derevyanchenko: record, next fight and profile →
Jermall Charlo patiently sat back and listened to idle chatter suggesting he didn’t want any part of the top middleweights. That said, his upcoming title defense versus Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-2, 10KOs) was never about silencing his critics, but simply taking that first step toward his goal of middleweight supremacy.
Trainer and advisor Andre Rozier have been an integral part of the success New York Boxing has seen in the past three decades, both on an amateur and professional level. Rozier not only guided multiple Golden Gloves and National Champions in the amateur code whilst being part of the United States national team setup during a time that Andre Ward was dominant prior to his Olympic Gold in Athens in 2004.

The deepest boxing card of 2020 will come at fair market value. A six-fight twin bill Showtime PPV telecast featuring Jermell and Jermall Charlo in separate headlining title fights—which takes place on September 26—will be available for public purchase at a suggested retail price of $74.95, Showtime Sports announced on Friday. The one-time purchase covers the two separate events carrying five total title fights and a title eliminator, beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Trainer Ronnie Shields isn’t too concerned about how his charge, Jermall Charlo, is perceived in some corners of the boxing universe. The Houston-based middleweight titleholder is gearing up for his highly-anticipated Sept. 26 Showtime pay-per-view matchup against the Ukraine’s Sergiy Derevyanchenko, in a fight that many consider to be Charlo’s biggest test to date. (Also featured on the card, scheduled to take place in a closed-environment at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., is Charlo’s younger twin, Jermell, who will face Jeison Rosario in a junior middleweight unification bout).
Boxing consumers complain more often than not because pay-per-view cards don’t give them the overall value they seek for their money. Stephen Espinoza is completely confident they’ll get plenty of bang for their collective buck September 26. Showtime’s president of sports and event programming considers his network’s upcoming six-fight show the most stacked pay-per-view event it has produced since he took control of its programming late in 2011.
As he enters his 450th fight between the amateurs, World Series of Boxing and the pro ranks, it’s fair to question if Sergiy Derevyanchenko can change who he is as a prizefighter at this point. One thing he does plan to correct, though, is his approach from the opening bell.

Whether you’re a fan or a cynic when it comes to the outspoken Houston twins, you’ll no doubt get a chance to revel in one viewpoint or the other on Sept. 26. The belted duo will headline their first pay-per-view show when they compete in the first and second “main events” of a six-bout card to...
In the way of comparison performances, there is a theory that the bar has been set exceedingly high for Jermall Charlo to match or surpass. The unbeaten two-division titlist offers his own viewpoint on why he heads down the road he’s chosen to travel.
Sergiy Derevyanchenko is determined to make it third time lucky, as he prepares himself for his Showtime Pay-Per-View clash with WBC world middleweight champion Jermall Charlo on September 26.
