前超次中量级感觉安德拉德(25-0，16 KOs) ，希望取代阿瓦雷兹挑战 IBF\WBC\WBA\IBO 中量级冠军戈洛夫金，但看起来他无法实现这个目标，转而去争取B计划。
安德拉德的联合推广人马特.罗兰告诉BoxingScene说；“现在我想看看戈洛夫金接下来会怎么做，他可能不会和那些争取IBF头衔的人开战。如果一切都按我们的预计的进行，安德拉德可以和德瑞乌延钦克（正在逼宫戈洛夫金）争夺IBF的空置的头衔。
这个配对几乎成功了，虽然HBO似乎改变了他们参与这场比赛的想法，但有很多人对这场战斗感兴趣，其中包括ESPN。”
AAndrade vs. Derevyachenko Has The Interest of ESPN
By Steve Kim
Former junior middleweight champion, and now top middleweight contender, Demetrius Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs) - and his team - have pushed hard to replace Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez as the opponent for IBF, WBC, WBA, IBO champion Gennady Golovkin on May 5th.
It looks like they will not be getting that assignment for the time being. So what's plan B?
Matt Rowland of Banner Promotions (which co-promotes Andrade alongside Star Boxing) said to BoxingScene.com - "Right now we want to see what happens with Golovkin. He shouldn't be fighting the guys that they're talking about for the IBF title."

Derevyachenko (12-0, 10 KOs) is the IBF's top rated contender and he and his representatives are pressing the sanctioning body to have Golovkin take care of this mandatory defense immediately. There is a chance that Golovkin could be stripped of his IBF belt.
The situation with Derevyachenko has put Golovkin's back against the wall and may even force him postpone his next return in order to avoid losing the belt. The IBF has yet to make a ruling on the matter.
"If everything bounces are our way, Andrade and Derevyanchenko for the IBF vacant title," said Rowland, of this pairing that nearly came to fruition but fell apart as HBO seemed to change their mind in being involved with Andrade.
But Rowland mentioned - "There are plenty of people interested in broadcasting that fight - including ESPN."
As BoxingScene previously reported, Top Rank - who have an exclusive content deal with ESPN - are now pursuing programming for the network and even made a play to secure Golovkin's next fight.
Andrade was last in the ring back in October, when he made his middleweight debut by winning a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Alantez Fox.
And Derevyanchenko had a stay busy fight back in March, when he stopped rugged journeyman Dashon Johnson in March. |
