Oleksandr Usyk, promoter of Oleksandr Usyk and Denis Berinchik, reacted to the fact that his wards will box on the same day, but in different places.
"The thing is that at the time we were figuring out the date, Usik was supposed to box from Fury on February 17. But under the circumstances that we know, this fight should happen on the same date that Denis Berinchik fights. What can I say... Of course, it's not very convenient. We have worked with Denis for so many years, and to not be present at this fight in San Diego is pathetic to say the least. However, our people will be there, our specialists will be there. We have already done a lot of work to make Denis feel absolutely comfortable, as they say "in his own plate", boxing in San Diego against Navarrete. This applies to all areas of boxing life, officials, referees, traveling conditions, etc. It's all already stipulated in the contract. And now it's just up to Denis, his team. And now the hard work continues in the training camp. Of course, we had a lot of attempts to put these fights in one card or to separate them by dates.... We have what we have and we're working with it. So let's go for the win."
