Charlo-Derevyanchenko: Final press conference
Charlo defends his WBC world title this weekend on Showtime PPV.
With Jermall Charlo set to defend his WBC world title against Sergiy Derevyanchenko this weekend in a Showtime PPV doubleheader, both fighters made an appearance for a final press conference which can be viewed in full above.
Charlo, 30, enters this fight nine months removed from a stoppage win over Dennis Hogan last December. Before that, Charlo scored a unanimous decision win over Brandon Adams. Lot of fans have been overwhelmed by Charlo’s opponents in recent years, but this is surely a tough matchup that we can all enjoy.
