Derevyanchenko confirmed that he will perform on January 6 at a boxing evening in Las Vegas, but his opponent will not be D’Mitrius Ballard, as previously reported.
“This will be a Golden Boy boxing night with the main event featuring the return of Virgil Ortiz to the ring. There was already a rival for me, but just a few days ago my manager Keith Connolly called on the phone and said that he had refused. Now my team is actively looking for a new opponent,” Derevyanchenko said.
