The Ukrainian turned out to be only slightly heavier than the American.
The WBO lightweight title holder, Ukrainian Denis Berinchyk and American Keyshawn Davis underwent the traditional weigh-in procedure on the eve of the championship fight.
Both boxers met the lightweight division limit (up to 61.2 kg). The Ukrainian champion turned out to be only slightly heavier than the American challenger – 61.05 kg against 60.87 kg.
Let's add that after the weigh-in, the boxers had a final battle of gazes, which ended in a small skirmish with pushing.
The fight between Berinchyk and Davis will take place on the night of February 15 in New York (USA) at the legendary Madison Square Garden arena.
For Denis, this will be the first defense of the WBO lightweight title, which he won in May 2024, defeating Mexican Emanuel Navarrete by split decision.
