Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs) and Denis Berinchik (18-0, 9 KOs) finalize the final details of the fight on May 18 in San Diego, California, USA. At stake in the meeting will be the vacant belt of the world champion under version WBO lightweight. We should add that Navarrete has already been the champion at flyweight, featherweight and bantamweight. A potential win would give him championship status in the fourth weight limit.

In turn, the Ukrainian is a silver medalist of the Olympic Games in London in 2012. The WBO title became vacant after Devin Haney moved to another weight category.

On the undercard, welterweight Giovanni Santillan (32-0, 17 KOs) will fight against an as yet unknown opponent. The broadcast of the evening will take place on ESPN, which officially announced this information.
