The July 21 event is headlined by rising middleweight contender Sergiy "The Technician" Derevyanchenko taking on former world champion Sam "King" Soliman in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.

Additional action inside the arena features local favorite Shelly Vincent (17-0, 1 KO) out of Providence in an eight-round featherweight fight against San Antonio's Christina Ruiz (7-8-3, 4 KOs) and Connecticut's Mykquan Williams (2-0, 2 KOs) facing Colorado's Isaac Johnson (2-3) in a four-round welterweight attraction.

Rounding out the night of fights is the pro debut of Christopher Davis Fogg in a four round middleweight bout.

A slick-boxer who fights out of Forestville, Maryland, Fox began 2016 by stopping veteran Milton Nunez in the fourth round of their January bout. The 24-year-old was victorious five times in 2015 and is unbeaten since turning pro in 2010. He will be opposed by Valenzuela who fights out of Santa Rosalia, Mexico and most recently knocked out Armando Corral in the second round.

Originally from Ukraine but now fighting out of Brooklyn, Golub has fought exclusively in the U.S. since turning pro and comes off of a hard fought stoppage victory over previously unbeaten Marlon Aguas in March. The 27-year-old southpaw has stopped his last five opponents inside of the distance. He takes on the 22-year-old Mexican Ortiz, who made his U.S. debut in September 2015.
