Krasiuk: "It was suggested the fight Berinchik - Navarrete to undercard Usik - Fury, but ..."

- Was it realistic to hold Berinchik vs Navarrete fight on the undercard of Usik vs Fury? Or vice versa - to separate them on different dates, so that you had time for both fights.

- Of course, we tried. Berinchik's fight was to be held on May 18, and Usik's - on December 17. But due to known circumstances, Usik's fight was postponed. The only available date was May 18.

ESPN has already confirmed this date for Top Rank in San Diego. The arena has already been signed. We offered the fight Berinchik - Navarrete in the undercard of Usik - Fury, but we didn't get a clear answer, so we went full steam ahead to organize a super fight for Denis in San Diego.

So, of course, we made attempts to separate them by dates and put them in one card. But now we have what we have.
