Boxing: Sergiy Derevyanchenko, David Benavidez Added to Saturday’s ShoBox Card

---

In the wake of the ill-fated Friday night card in downtown Las Vegas that imploded on Tuesday, cable network Showtime has scrambled its roster of fights and officially completed its card for Saturday night. The “ShoBox: The New Generation” card will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and will air live at 10:45 p.m. ET/7:45 p.m. PT.

The marquee is slated to be headlined by a 10-round junior middleweight bout between Frank Galarza (17-0-2, 11 KOs) and Jarrett Hurd (16-0, 10 KOs).

Showtime announced Wednesday that unbeaten middleweight prospect Sergiy Derevyachenko (6-0, 4 KOs) has been added to the main card and he’ll be locking horns with Jessie Nicklow. The duel will be an eight-rounder where Derevyachenko, a 2008 Olympian for his native Ukraine, is expected to showcase his immense boxing skillset. Nicklow (25-7-3, 8 KOs) is coming off a win in October, but that triumph was preceded by four consecutive losses.

Also set to appear on the televised portion of the card will be an eight-round light heavyweight affair between David Benavidez (10-0, 9 KOs) and Felipe Romero (15-9-1, 9 KOs).
