PBC Presents Fox Sports 1 Boxing Live

August 25, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm

This event will be televised live outdoors in front of the Coleman Theatre in downtown Miami, Oklahoma. Doors open at 5:30. 6:30pm start time is subject to change. Admission is free, although seated tickets are available. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to www.buffalorun.com.

Undefeated Russian amateur sensation Sergey Derevyanchenko and once-beaten Tureano Johnson will square off in an IBF middleweight world title eliminator to become the mandatory challenger to face the winner of the upcoming Golovkin-Canelo championship mega fight. Derevyanchenko built an astonishing amateur record of 390-20 before relocating to Brooklyn, NY, and turning pro in 2014. Now 10-0 (8 KOs), he earned his #2 ranking by knocking out former world champion Sam Soliman in two rounds in July 2016. Johnson, a 2008 US Olympian and 20-1 (14 KOs) as a pro, has won six straight since his only loss, and defeated Eamonn O’Kane in October 2015 to elevate himself into title contention as the #1 IBF middleweight contender. Both Derevyanchenko and Johnson are known to be tremendously skilled but also offensive-minded and often compelled to brawl, which will make this matchup not only significant for producing a worthy world title challenger, but a very exciting battle while it lasts.
