Keyshawn Davis received Denys Berinchyk as a delicate WBO title in Fresh York on Friday evening. The planned 12 Rounder was broadcast live as the main event of the ESPN/Top Rank card. Davis fought in his first world championship event.

The first two rounds were messy with full and muddy tactics. It was certainly a sloppy beginning of things. However, a great shot in the body was put on Berinchyk on the mat in third place. Berinchyk was still very fighting, but Davis said.

The defending Master Berinchyk had a better fourth round for himself, but before the end of the chapter the man was again sent to the mat, thanks to the kindness of Davis’ next shot. This time, however, Berinchyk was not able to defeat the count. Indeed, he expresses himself on his face when he hit the mat that he would not have returned to his feet.

And so the world has a up-to-date WBO Lightweight champion. The fight was disordered, but Davis was able to make his arrows count enough to end everything early. Teenage Virginian deserves to be considered an opportunity to fight effectively through the scratchy Huccy Berinchyk.

Davis is now in the ratified air, because Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson and Vasyl Lomachenko are his peers. This is at least a great group of athletes. Davis quickly made Berinchyk, now he can have the opportunity to prove himself in the ring with the biggest names in sport.

Richard Torrez Jr. says Frank Sanchez remains a hazardous opponent ahead of their IBF heavyweight eliminator on May 23 in Egypt, but believes the pressure and pace could ultimately break Sanchez.

Torrez discussed Sanchez during an interview this week ahead of their fight at the Glory at Giza event near the Giza Pyramids.


“You know, I think Frank, being of Cuban descent, has that Cuban style. He can box and box when he needs to,” Torrez Jr. said. in the podcast Mr. Verzace in Ring Magazine.

“I think he has a very mighty backhand. I think he knows how to kind of put you to sleep in the moment where he can hit the shot he wants.”

“And he’s really good at dictating the pace.

“But I think he lacks pace. If you’re able to take control of it and put pressure on him and impose your will on him, I think that’s where things start to fundamentally break down in the game plan.”

“I think we saw that with Kabayel and I think that’s something I’ll kind of emulate and what I’m already doing in my fights.”

Sanchez comes into the fight after suffering the first loss of his career to Agit Kabayel last year. Their fight ended after Sanchez suffered leg problems during the fight.

Torrez also addressed Sanchez’s recent knee problem, which caused the qualifiers to be postponed earlier this year.

“But Frank, I’m going out there preparing for the best. I’m going out there preparing for Frank, who has two great knees.

“That’s the Frank I hope to see because I want to fight the best. I don’t want to fight someone who is at 60%.

Undefeated Torrez will enter the fight with a record of 13-0 and 11 knockouts. Sanchez with a 25-1 record and 18 knockouts heading into the heavyweight eliminator.

The WBA made a last-minute decision on Usyk’s world title just days before his fight with Rico Verhoeven

WBA make last minute decision on Usyk’s world title just days before Rico Verhoeven fight

With only nine days left until Oleksandr Usyk defends his WBC heavyweight world title against Rico Verhoeven, the WBA federation has decided to allow him to defend his belt as well.

Rico Verhoeven, considered a Dutch kickboxing legend, boasts a professional boxing record of just 1-0; that victory came over 12 years ago against Janos Finfera, who was 0-5 at the time.

As a result, when his unconventional fight with Usyk was announced, it was not expected that the undefeated Ukrainian’s belts would be in danger, and yet although the position of the WBA and IBF was unclear, the WBC controversially agreed to sanction the fight as a fight for the world heavyweight title.

This has led to speculation that the WBA and IBF may strip Usyk of his titles along with Murat Gassiev [WBA] and the winner of the Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr. fight. [IBF] he will likely benefit from this and either be elevated to champion status or set up for a free title fight in their respective bodies.

However, in an intriguing yet confusing twist, The WBA suddenly announced the terms of the “title fight” after a “special request”. They have now determined that Usyk’s victory will count as a successful title defense, but if Verhoeven were to create such an unusual situation, “the WBA Championship Committee will then review his [Usyk’s] status’.

“If Usyk emerges victorious, the fight will be officially recognized as a successful title defense. If the champion loses, the WBA Championship Committee will review his status and determine the next course of action regarding the heavyweight championship.”

Therefore, while Usyk can officially retain his WBA heavyweight title with a triumph next Saturday, unranked Verhoeven will not be able to claim the belt.

Although the WBA revealed that a victory for Verhoeven would allow him to enter its heavyweight rankings.

Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.

“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.

“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.

“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?

“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.

“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.

“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”

Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.

“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.

Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.
