Bob Arum, head of the promotion company Top Rank, said that the fight between the Ukrainian Denis Berinchik And Emanuel Navarrete for the vacant WBO lightweight world title will definitely take place.
“Shakur Stevenson wanted to fight Navarrete, the WBO super featherweight champion who moved up to lightweight. But Navarrete was told: if he wants to fight for the vacant WBO lightweight title, he must meet Berinchyk,” the functionary said.
On January 30, the Berinchik and Navarette teams were given 15 days to agree on the upcoming fight. If the parties do not reach an agreement, promotional bidding will be called.
