Promoter Alexander Krasiuk commented on the upcoming WBO lightweight world title fight between Denis Berinchik and Emanuel Navarrete.
"It's Navarrete's first fight in the division for the world title, he is the super champion at welterweight, so he automatically gets a chance for the vacant lightweight title. Berincic really earned his chance. He had to be very patient to get this chance. He's already in the U.S. getting ready. On May 18, we will see how well the former Olympic silver medalist is doing. I think the fight will be 12 rounds. I see him going the full distance. Navarrete is strong, he's Mexican. He doesn't back down. It's going to be a big night for Ukraine."
