On the night of February 14 to 15 in New York, the Ukrainian world champion WBO in lightweight Denis Borinchik (19-0, 9 KOs) will hold the first defense of his title against American Keyshon Davis (12-0, 8 KOs). And around this battle a scandal has already erupted. On February 12, at the final press conference before the fight, Davis accused Borinchik of racism, he allegedly sent him a box with bananas and watermelon, and rushed to the promoter of Ukrainian Alexander Krasyuk.

Keishon began provoking Borinchik even during the first battle of his eyes, touching the Ukrainian belt, and in response he saw a fist. And the very next day, at a joint press conference, the American behaved quite aggressively-he rushed at Denis and his promoter, accused racism, threatened and tried to insult the opponent as much as possible.

The applicant justified his behavior with anger. It seems that on the eve of Berinchik and his team sent him an extremely offensive bag - a box with a watermelon and bananas and a note, which explained that it was snacks for all the high jumps of the boxer and that he had enough energy.

Keishon took all this as a personal insult: “I want to pay attention to the fact that this man came to America to give me bananas and watermelon with a note. This is unprofessional, and I think this is racism. Now this battle has become even more personal for me "

And although Denis calmly explained that he did not write and did not speak English, so he could not hide anything like that, besides he had nothing personal against Davis, the American did not listen stubbornly, but revealingly reveled in his insult. During the communication with the media, Keishon tried to deliver both Borinchik and Krasyuk, constantly interrupted the promoter when he translated the words of the Ukrainian, and repeated that on Friday he would beat them both.

Then he called the Ukrainian champion a racist several more times on a duel. Moreover, the aggressive speeches of the American looked played up and even funny against the background of a completely calm Borinchik, who, judging by his statements, understood little in the threats of the opponent. Keishon laughed at social networks.. And even his compatriots.

\! He is certified by a stupid clown!

" He said: " I didn't even understand what he was talking about. But everything is clear to me: someone with poor intentions tried to add Hype situations. But Berinchik is a worthy champion, man. who sent this box, ”Krasyuk spoke in defense of his fighter.

And the final of all these showdowns on the eve of the meeting in the ring was a crowd on weighing. Before the battle, Keishon showed a gesture that he cut his throat to his opponent, " When Davis returned to the audience and purposefully closed the Ukrainian champion, Borinchik pushed him. Perhaps he could not resist, but quite likely wanted.

Keishon tried to answer Denis, but the guards smashed them and took the champion. And Davis ran around the room for a long time and looked for an opponent: “Look at my face when he pushed me. How he did this, I fall in the slush, as this: \? "

An enraged American promised to finish the battle in the first round: “It doesn’t matter if I am upset, calm or cheerful - it does not matter what I am. Tomorrow he will be knocked out in the first round. Therefore, he can say everything he wants.

Davis's behavior looked even more pointless when it turned out that this box of discord was not from a Ukrainian, but from the WBO champion in the first welterweight and the former opponent of Vasily Lomachenko Teofimo Lopeza. Like, he does not have enough money, and he just begs a big fight to earn a tidy amount.

In fact, all this show from Keshon may seem as strange as possible after autumn statements that they are friends with Berinchik.

" We constantly correspond, communicate, he wishes me good luck, I wish him good luck, he tells me the news and so on. We will have a great fight. Of course, I will go out the winner, but I think it will be good for him from the point of view of marketing and promotion, ”fans.

Although these Ukrainian boxers behave mainly restrained.

And in Britain or the United States, what a fighter will not do to sell himself and his battle as expensive as possible. But no matter what events preceded the fight in New York, experts predict an interesting and competitive battle.

It is believed that the 25-year-old Keishon is younger and faster than 36-year-old Borinchik and has an advantage in growth. However, Denis is a real fighter, an experienced one who, if necessary, knows how to hold a blow, and then surprise the enemy.
