Sergiy Derevyanchenko moved closer to a 160-pound title shot with a punishing fifth-round TKO of Kemahl Russell.
Fight HighlightsPowerful 175-pound prospect Ahmed Elbiali (15-0, 12 KOs) gained a first-round TKO of Brazil's Jackson Junior (20-9, 18 KOs), and unbeaten 147-pound prospect Jamontay Clark (11-0, 7 KOs) stopped Japan's Gaku Takahashi (15-7-1, 7 KOs) in seven rounds.
It took Sergiy Derevyanchenko a few rounds to work his way inside against Kemahl Russell, but he was far too much to handle once he got there.
After sparring 160-pound champion Daniel Jacobs for more than 40 rounds in recent weeks, Sergiy Derevyanchenko believes he’s more than ready to face unbeaten Kemahl Russell.
After competing in more than 400 bouts as an amateur, Sergiy Derevyanchenko has needed less than 10 as a professional to establish himself as a title contender at 160 pounds.
