“Dette er en veldig viktig kamp for meg,” said Derevyanchenko. “A victory in this fight brings me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion.

“I fight to provide for my family, to bring pride to my country and because I know I have done the work necessary and am destined to become a world champion,” said Johnson. “I have a great respect for my opponent and expect a great fight, but he is my way toward the championship, so I will defeat him.”

“Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Tureano Johnson are two of the top middleweights in the world,” sa Lou DiBella, President i DiBella Entertainment. “This is a great opportunity on a big forum for Derevyanchenko to prove that he belongs with the elite fighters at 160 pounds. The co-featured bout between middleweights Immanuwel Aleem and Hugo Centeno also figures to be a barnburner. This will be a terrific event.”
A highly decorated amateur who represented his native Ukraine in the 2008 OL, Derevyanchenko now lives and trains in Brooklyn and most recently stopped previously unbeaten Kemahl Russell in April. His 2016 saw him earn a TKO victory over Mike Guy in March before stopping former champion Sam Soliman in the second round of a world title eliminator in July. The unbeaten fighter defeated a slew of experienced contenders in 2015 with wins over Elvin Ayala, Alan Campa, Vladine Biosse and a third-round stoppage of Jessie Nicklow.
A 2008 Olympian for his native Bahamas, Johnson enters this bout the winner of his last six contests, including a fifth round stoppage of once-beaten Alex Theran and a 12-round decision over once-beaten Eamonn O’Kane in 2015. The 33-year-old turned pro in 2010 og vant sin første 2014 before suffering his first defeat in the final round against Curtis Stevens.
Født i East Meadow, New York and fighting out of Richmond, Virginia, Aleem was introduced to boxing at a young age by his parents. Siden han ble proff i 2012 i en alder av 18, the 23-year-old has wiped out all of the competition in front of him. In January he defeated then unbeaten Ievgen Khytrov in a memorable back and forth battle that saw Aleem emerge victorious with a sixth-round TKO win. Aleem had previously defeated once-beaten Jonathan Cepeda and fought to a majority draw with Demond Nicholson in 2016.
The 26-year-old Centeno bounced back from his first defeat with a stoppage of Ronald Montes after three rounds in December 2016. Centeno won his first 24 pro fights after amassing a 90-8 amateur record including a highlight reel knockout of James De La Rosa and a decision over then unbeaten Gerardo Ibarra. The fighter out of Oxnard, California will fight in Las Vegas for the first time since a no contest against Julian Williams in 2013 that was called because of an accidental head butt.

TUREANO JOHNSON ØNSKER STORE NAVN PÅ 160 EYES GGG & COTTO
NEW JERSEY (Juni 15, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions’ mellomvekt konkurrent, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs), er på jakt etter de største kamper i divisjonen. Foreløpig vurdert WBC #2,WBA #3, IBF #8 og WBO #13, Johnson rir en 4-kamp seiersrekke med håp om landing en verden tittel shot.
Tureano eneste skavank er en kontroversiell TKO tap for Curtis Stevens der han var å vinne på alle scorekort før dommeren stoppet kampen i siste runde.
“Jeg vil at alle vinnere i mellomvekt divisjon.” Said Tureano Johnson, “GGG, Kokt, bringe dem på. Begge gutta er på jakt etter motstandere og jeg er rett her venter. Jeg høyt rangert over hele linja så det er ingen grunn til at disse kampene ikke kan gjøres. Jeg ser feil i begge jagerfly som jeg vet jeg kan utnytte. Min promotor Gary Shaw jobber hardt for å få meg en stor kamp, og jeg er sikker på at jeg vil være tilbake i ringen mot en topp nivå fighter snart.
“Tureano Johnson er villig til å komme i ringen med noen av gjeldende vinnere,” Gary Shaw sa, “GGG og Cotto holde verdens titler og begge trenger en motstander. Johnson har gjort det klart og tydelig at han ønsker å kjempe enten en av dem. Jeg vil gjøre mitt beste for å få ham i ringen med enten fyr som han fortjener en VM-tittel anledning.”
TUREANO JOHNSON PROVIDING GREAT SPARRING FOR DANIEL GEALE
NEW JERSEY (Mai 26, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions mellomvekt konkurrent, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs), is now the chief sparring partner for Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KOs) as he prepares him for his upcoming WBC title clash with Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs). Johnson, who captured the WBA International and WBC Silver middleweight titles in his last bout, is currently ranked WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8 and WBO #13. He gives his thought on sparring with Geale.
“Daniel Geale is a special fighter who possesses a lot of boxing skills,” said Tuerano Johnson. “He’s looking real sharp in the gym and his power is there. I can feel the snap on his punches and I think Miguel Cotto is in for a big surprise. Everyone is counting Geale out but not me. Gary Shaw brought me in to test Geale’s skills and after a few days of sparring, I believe Daniel will be crowned champion.”
“I brought Tureano to the gym to spar with Geale because he’s a good look to emulate Cotto and he’s one of the top fighters in the middleweight division,” Gary Shaw said. “The feedback I got from Johnson about sparring Geale is very positive. I’m confident that Daniel will use everything in his playbook to come out victorious.”
Tureano Johnson is currently riding a 4-fight winning streak, three of which came by stoppage. Highly ranked across the board of all sanctioning organizations, Johnson is on the cusp of landing a big fight.
TUREANO JOHNSON WINS WBC SILVER & WBA INTERNATIONAL BELTS
NEW YORK (Januar 11, 2015) – Dette siste Fredag på Madison Square Garden Theater, Bahamian middleweight contender, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs) captured the WBA International og WBC Silver titler, with a bruising victory against Colombian contender Alex Theran (17-2, 2 KOs). Johnson thumped the former Olympian Theran over five rounds, dropping him once in the 4th round, then again in the 5th. Theran, who suffered an injury and could not return for the 6th round, was taking a beating before bowing out of the bout.
Rated WBC #8, WBA #12 og IBF #12, Tureano Johnson is looking to step up and challenge any of the champions in middleweight division. After beating a solid fighter like Theran, and being robbed in the Curtis Stevens fight, Johnson is confident he can beat any of the current champions at 160 lbs.
“Jeg er klar til å kjempe Gennady Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, Jermain Taylor or any other champion out there,” Said Tureano Johnson. These are the type of fights I would like to pursue. David Lemieux is also on my hit list. I’m here to take over the division. Everyone knows I should be undefeated so I’m going to leave no doubt about it every time I step in the ring. I can’t afford to be robbed again. With Gary Shaw putting me in a great position, I’m going to make the most of every opportunity. My goal in 2015 is to become a world champion.”
“Tureano Johnson is marching up the rankings and should be applauded for his fighting style.” sa Gary Shaw. “He’s the type of fighter everyone wants to see. I’m going to push hard to get him back on TV, hopefully against a guy like Gennady Golovkin. Johnson is a force in the middleweight division and you will see him in some big fights coming up.”
