Derevyanchenko is confident that he can beat any of the top weight tops. Ukrainian middleweight Sergei Derevyanchenko, who in August knocked out Toureano Johnson and became mandatory challenger for the title of world champion in the version of IBF, which Gennady Golovkin owns, believes that he will be able to cope with the Kazakhstan boxer. "In my time I spent 40 rounds sparring with Daniel Jacobs when he was preparing for Golovkin. Since then, I have not talked with Danny, but my style against Golovkin would be completely different. Danny gave me a lot of experience, and I feel I'm ready for any contender in the division.

I think Golovkin will defeat Canelo Alvarez in their fight and maybe even do it ahead of time, and then I'll be glad to meet with Golovkin. Now I think that Golovkin is the best in the middleweight. Next are Saul Alvarez, Jermeil Charlo, Billy Joe Saunders and David Lemieux. In this order. Although I think that I should be in the top five and, of course, consider myself the best in the middleweight. I think I can beat all the guys I called, "said Derevyanchenko.
