Keyshawn Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) is ready for the biggest fight of his career as he challenges Denys Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs) for the WBO Lightweight World Title this Friday at Madison Square Garden. But things got personal at the press conference when Davis accused Berinchyk of sending him bananas and a watermelon—a move he called racist.
Berinchyk denied the accusation, calling it a publicity stunt, but Davis wasn't having it:
🔥 Keyshawn Davis:
"You just made this fight personal. I’m gonna whoop your ass for it!"
🔥 Denys Berinchyk:
"Somebody made this up for hype. First, you need to make weight. Then we’ll settle this in the ring."
