“I’m focused and locked in. I’m ready to fight. Sergiy can say what he wants about me, it’s going to be a great fight on Saturday.

“I’m the best in the world. On Saturday night, everyone will have a chance to see him live on SHOWTIME PPV.”
SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO
“The green color of the WBC belt looks good on me. I want that green belt. I am more prepared than ever for this fight.
“I was happy to have the break after the Gennadiy Golovkin fight. Rest well. I’m relaxed and when I came back to America, I was ready to train and now I’m ready to fight. All of that helped me.
“Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs were tough fights, they were both close fights and I think those experiences definitely helped me. I will show it in the ring on Saturday.
“I’m going to push him from the beginning. I’m going to use my legs, my jab, and combinations to get the win.
“We always train hard and we have great training partners to prepare for. They have shown me what he is going to bring to the ring. Now we just have to take our strategy and use it in the ring on Saturday.
“This is a great fight. When you win, even more opportunities will open up. I will be able to unify and take my career to the next level. ”
