Professional career
Derevianchenko turned professional on 2014, signing with promoter Lou DiBella and fighting out of New York City.[1][3] After winning his first two fights, Derevianchenko signed a deal with manager Al Haymon.[4] Derevianchenko first headlined a televised card on August 2015, facing off against Elvin Ayala in an 8-round bout on ShoBox.[5] Derevianchenko won a wide unanimous decision, improving his record to 6-0. On August 2016, he faced former world champion Sam Soliman. Derevianchenko blasted Soliman, knocking him down three times in two rounds, with the referee waiving the count on the third time, giving Derevianchenko a TKO win.[6]
The IBF ordered an eliminator between Derevianchenko and Tureano Johnson, with the winner becoming the mandatory challenger to unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Johnson was previously set on April 2016, but had to pull out due to injury.[7] The fight was set for August 25, and was televised on Fox Sports 1. Derevianchenko slowly broke down Johnson, hurting him repeatedly until Johnson was dropped in round 12, at which point the referee waived the count.[8]
