Keyshawn Davis Promises to Knock Out Denys Berinchyk Following Tumultuous Weigh-in
The already tense atmosphere between Denys Berinchyk and Keyshawn Davis reached new heights during today’s weigh-in, following yesterday’s controversial press conference.
At the press conference, Davis had accused Team Berinchyk of sending racially insensitive items to his hotel room, a claim vehemently denied by both Berinchyk and his promoter, Alex Krassyuk.
Today’s weigh-in at Madison Square Garden Theatre saw both fighters successfully make weight for their upcoming lightweight title bout. However, the situation quickly escalated when Berinchyk unexpectedly shoved Davis, causing the American challenger to momentarily step off the stage. Enraged by this action, Davis attempted to confront his rival.
In the aftermath of the incident, Davis boldly declared to reporter Crystina Poncher, “I’m going to knock him out in the first round tomorrow.”
