Ukrainian ironman Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko will break a year of inactivity on July 1, squaring off with veteran spoiler Jeremy Ramos over eight rounds in Nashville, Tennessee. BoxRec lists the super-middleweight clash as the 39-year-old’s first outing since his bruising decision loss to France’s Christian Mbilli last summer.
Derevyanchenko (15-6, 10 KOs) has built a cult following for his high-volume style and willingness to face elite names, pushing Gennadiy Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs and Jermall Charlo to narrow scorecards at middleweight before campaigning at 168 lbs. The New York-based Ukrainian now tests that durability against Ramos (14-15, 4 KOs), a 38-year-old American whose upset instincts have earned him slots opposite Caleb Plant and Vladimir Shishkin.

Though no titles are at stake, the assignment signals Derevyanchenko’s intent to remain relevant in a division currently ruled by Canelo Álvarez and stalked by rising punchers like Mbilli. A convincing win keeps the door ajar for bigger summer opportunities.
