and was attended by Golden Boy's Chairman and CEO, Oscar De
La Hoya. The 10-round super middleweight fight is presented
in association with Zanfer Boxing, is scheduled to take
place on Saturday, June 10 at Toyota Arena, in Ontario, CA
and will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN beginning at
5:00 p.m. PT/ 8:00 p.m. ET.
Below is what Jaime Munguia and Oscar De La Hoya had to say
about Munguia's upcoming clash:
JAIME MUNGUIA, FORMER WORLD CHAMPION AND SUPER MIDDLE WEIGHT
CONTENDER:
“Derevyanchenko is a tough fighter. He is someone who has
gone to the ring and gone the distance with high profile
fighters. No one has been able to knock him down and I think
this fight and a victory against Derevyanchenko will show
everyone that I am ready for any challenge.”
“I am not very worried about what has happened in other
fights that Derevyanchenko has been involved in. I do not
feel pressure about knocking him out, but I do know that I
am going to deliver a convincing victory. I know that I am
going to go into the ring and do what I have to do to win.”
“We have always pursued high profile fighters like Golovkin
and Charlo and those fights haven’t materialized due to
circumstances that are out of our control. He hasn’t fought
in two-and-a-half years and is still considered the world
champion, I am not sure what his plan is moving forward, but
I am ready to face him if he wants to get in the ring with
me. For Golovkin, we reached out to him for this fight, and
he didn’t return, I think he may be enjoying a vacation.”
OSCAR DE LA HOYA, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF GOLDEN BOY:
"We are confident that Jaime Munguia will deliver on a
magnificent fight for fans this Saturday, June 10.
Derevyanchenko is a tough opponent who has faced the likes
of GGG, Daniel Jacobs, and Carlos Adames."
"We want all the big names for Jaime - but we want that
fight against Charlo. After our major commercial success
with the Ryan Garcia fight, we have the framework to work
with PBC and Showtime. But, if that can't happen, Munguia
will fight anyone - Gennadiy, or even David Benavidez are
great options for him.
