Keyshawn Davis is giving an opportunity to challenge a world title, and the time has come to show the world how good he really is. This Friday, February 14 at the Theater in Madison Square Garden, Keyshawn will challenge unbeaten WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk for the world title.
He has prepared himself at this moment and wants nothing more than becoming a champion. However, he has now added motivation to what he believes was a targeted attack by the Berinchyk camp in the controversial package sent to his hotel room. A box of bananas and a watermelon.
Denys and his team refused to send the package: ‘I’m not speaking English, and I don’t write English. I saw his message on social media. It is strange to even call it. Some people with bad intentions looking for a hype that made it. “Is what Berinchyk said by his translator. When weighing today, Berinchyk Keyhawn gave fuel by pushing him off the stage while posing for the cameras. Keyshawn was visibly upset and chased Berinchyk behind the stage.
Keyshawn will take revenge for the offensive and abusive behavior by the Bernchyk camp. The hostility between the camps was visible at the weigh -in, as both cheered hard for their fighter and mocked the opposing side. The bad blood between the camps has grown over the past few days. Davis should be careful not to allow his emotions to become the best of him by being too aggressive; He should not expose himself and allow Denys to utilize offensive mistakes.
Berinchyk was a member of the now legendary Ukrainian Olympic team, with Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Oleksandr Ulsyk. Everyone has won world titles in their respective divisions. He, similar to Keyhawn, won the silver medal at the Olympics in which he competed. He has the skills that the Norfolk native can challenge. As he said at the press conference of yesterday, he competed in 355 amateur fights, street fights 500 and a bare knuckle fight he won. Denys is not about to lie down and coronize Keyhawn as the new champion. He will go out on his shield and will so far be the most difficult opponent of Keyshawn.
Berinchyk announced that he intends to box strategically using movement. He said he worked more on his footwork than he has, which means he plans to use in and out movement. In his match against Yvan Mendy, he did this by controlling the series, starting and using sideways movement throughout the game. At 36, it can be difficult to do at a 25-year-old with rapid velocity and power. Keyshawn also has a 3-inch benefit that he knows how to use to be effective. He also has one of the best trainers in Boxing in Bomac McIntyre, and under his supervision he has grown exponentially.
With the sparrative sessions such as Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson, she helped.
It will be an overall war between two warriors who are unwilling to come to their opponent. For Berinchyk, he is fighting for his country, knowing that they will look and serve as inspiration for his countrymen. For Keyshawn, this is his long -awaited coronation, and he must remain disciplined and resilient, because if he can, his dream of becoming world champion will become a reality. Bernchyk is not an exact puncher; He has a low connection percentage. If Keyshawn can utilize the lack of accuracy of Bernchyk and use calculated aggression, he will be the first to defeat the Ukrainian champion.
