Top Rank has said it is “disgusted” by an alleged racist act in the lead-up to Keyshawn Davis vs Denys Berinchyk, after Davis accused his opponent of sending him a box of bananas and a watermelon.
Davis made the accusation against the Ukrainian at a press conference on Wednesday (13 February), ahead of Friday’s fight for Berinchyk’s WBO lightweight belt.
Davis accused Berinchyk of sending him a box of bananas and a watermelon ahead of their title fight.
He said: “First thing I wanna say is that I don’t speak English and I don’t write English.
Then, during a face-off between the unbeaten boxers, Davis repeatedly called Berinchyk “racist”.
