This is reported by the publication BoxingScene.

According to the Ukrainian boxer, he was very upset when they canceled the match against Demetrius Andrade, because the time for preparation was enough.

Next month, it will be known whether it will be possible to hold the battle in early 2018.

"If Andrade still refuses to fight, my managers Keith Connolly and Al Hamon, as well as my promoter, Lou DiBella, will try to find the best option for me. I have great expectations from 2018, "notes Derevyanchenko.

It should be noted that Derevianchenko and Andrade were to meet again on December 16 in the undecard of Billy Joe Saunders (25-0, 12 KOs) and David Lemieux (38-3, 33 KOs), but the American at the last moment refused the deal.

As previously reported in "URA-Inform", Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko won the World Championships under the WBO version in the second featherweight title over the Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux. Due to this, he took the first position in the ranking of CompuBox among the current boxers.
