However, despite this, the Ukrainian has never been able to become a professional boxing champion. Sergey Derevyanchenko told about his plans for the future in an interview with the site Sport.ua.
– Tell us, how do you work out now? What is the training mode?
– I generally recovered and recover, I restore my hand and began to sparring in parallel. Everything is good, and now I start to train more seriously, despite my arm.
– That is, you can say that all is well with your hand or is there any discomfort?
– There is no severe discomfort. The recovery goes well. I think no problem should be with this.
– When are you ready to spend your next match and are there any negotiations about this?
-We plan to fight in April-May.
– Should this fight be expected in the United States?
– I think so it will take place in the US.
– Is there something about your opponent? How important will this fight be?
– No, there is no information about the opponent. There may be such a fight as they say “Easy Fight” to close the defeat. Moreover, I am after surgery, so you should not expect a serious opponent.
– What are your future plans? Are there any specific boxers names you would like to have duels with?
-Everyone wants to box from Canello, and I am no exception, because it is very serious, and now it is a champion, it is first. Secondly-when you box with him, you can make a lot of money.
– We saw that you supported Denis Berinchik in battle against Keishon Davis. How do you think Denis was not enough to win?
– A very good question. I think Kayshen is a young boxer and now at the peak. It seems to me that Denis needed more time in the states, sparing more with such strong boxers as Kayshen.
– That is, Denis failed to prepare properly?
– No. He trained in Spain, conducted Camp in Los Angeles. He was probably ready. It is simply very important that you come to sparring, and you have similar guys by strength, you sparring with them and get used to it, to that force. Berinchik did not do this, and he had sparring partners of Mexico, but these were completely different boxers.
– What would you advise Denis Berinchik? Should he finish his career after losing this title?
– Well, I don’t know. He is an adult, knows himself what he needs and what he wants. Personally, as I say, “never give up” and always go to my goal.
– Alexander Usyk recently stated that he would like to meet again with Daniel Duba. How do you think who wins in this battle if it happens? Usik or Duba?
– Here is a favorite of Usik. In the first battle, he won and in revenge will also be a favorite if he happens. I will say that Dubois and the first battle was so tense, the second battle would be even more stressful than the first.
– What do you think about the possible return of Vladimir Klitschko to the ring? And if he would like his return, what opponent?
– I think that I see in the video, Vladimir in a very good form, he constantly maintained the form, so it will be interesting if he returns. I think he had a long break, so he needed “Easy Fight” to feel the ring, and then the next battle with a more worthy and serious rival. Now hevaevit is a very interesting weight category.
– 39 years old is a rather serious age for boxer. Don’t you think about completing your career and how many fights you plan to spend?
– Well, I plan to spend a couple more fighting. I cannot say the exact number.
– What do you plan to do after completing the boxer’s career?
– This is a very interesting and difficult question, because I have not yet thought what I would do. Now my attention is all in training and battles, and then when I say that I finish my career, then I will think.
