By Dan Ambrose: The Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergey Derevyanchenko fight was made official on Tuesday by promoters Eddie Hearn and Lou Dibella for a still to be determined date on HBO Boxing for the vacant IBF middleweight title in New York. Hearn and DiBella announced the fight earlier today. One of the stumbling blocks for the fight was the fact that the match had to take place on HBO due to the 31-year-old Jacobs (34-2, 29 KOs) being under contract with the network.
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez insists that Saul Canelo Alvarez has “many options” for his next fight in September if the rematch with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin doesn’t take place. Gomez says they still want the fight with Golovkin, but it’s up to him to decide whether he’s willing to agree to the terms set for the purse split from May 5.
By Dan Ambrose: Tom Loeffler thinks the major reason why Golden Boy Promotions aren’t showing interest in giving middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin a fairer deal for the rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez for September 15 is because they’re looking for an easier opponent for him.
By Jim Dower: Oscar De La Hoya says he’s wish Gennady Golovkin luck in his next fight against IBF mandatory challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko 12-0, 10 KOs) because he’s taking the Saul Canelo Alvarez train and moving on to a possible fight against Danny Jacobs, Billy Joe Saunders or Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan for September 15.
By Donavan Leonard: “All the belts” was the mantra put forth by middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) when his invasion of the United States began in September 2012 with a TKO victory over Grzegorz Proksa.
By Dan Ambrose: WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman says the World Boxing Council are going to be reinstating Saul Canelo Alvarez in their rankings beginning next month in June after he signed up with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA, as part of their Clean Boxing Program.
By Allan Fox: Gennady Golovkin has re-enrolled with VADA through September 15, which is a date that just happens to coincide with the date that Saul Canelo Alvarez will be fighting next. Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) is hoping to face the Mexican star Canelo to knockout this time and make sure that the judges don’t get a chance to put their own slant on the outcome like what happened last September in the first Caenlo-GGG fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
