The president of the amateur club Dnest Zaleshchykyi Yuriy Kuts told about his friendship with the famous Ukrainian boxer Serhiy Derevyanchenko and did not rule out that Serhiy will play for his team.
"I have a close comrade boxing in America - Sergiy Derevyanchenko. He is training in the "Dnestr" T-shirt. When he arrives, we will declare him for the team - and he will still play for us. He will be in "Dniester", like Usyk in "Polesie". If you do not believe me, I can call him on the phone. He has a fight in August, he is now preparing for it. Very decent and cultured guy. I've known him for about 8 years. I've been to a lot of his fights. I saw the fight against Golovkin at Madison Square Garden. Canelo offered 3.4 million and Golovkin gave 5.3 million. It was his biggest box office fight. It was hard for Sergey - he lived without money for almost three years. He was paid 5-10 thousand per fight. He was very poor, being a top boxer, but he tolerated it. He's really not dizzy with fame. He's the kind of guy that can sleep on the floor."
