Coach Berinchik: "For Yigit, this is a revenge, so we don't expect an easy walk"

On August 26, on the undercard of the Usyk-Dubois fight, the holder of the WBO international champion title Denis Berinchik (17-0, 9 KOs) will meet with a boxer from Sweden Anthony Yigit (27-3-1, 10 KOs). At this stage of preparation, Denis with his coach Yegor Golub and the team is in a training camp in Bukovel.

“We are preparing for all 12 rounds. Our opponent is strong. We understand that Yigit will be very motivated, because he already lost to Denis at the London Olympics, and for him it will be a revenge, so we do not expect an easy walk," Golub said. “Considering this, we work hard at the training camp. Everything is going according to plan, and we are doing everything to show beautiful spectacular boxing on August 26, defend the title, and bring it to Ukraine again.”

“Battle plans are to do everything in the best traditions. God forbid that there were no injuries. Our goal is to win a bright victory in order to please the Ukrainian fans who will watch us in Ukraine, and those who, due to the war, temporarily live in Poland, in Europe and will come to support us. This fight will be for them. And, of course, this fight is for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - for all our guys, thanks to whom we can now do our job. We will do everything to win!” Golub added.
