On May 18, Berinchik defeated Emmanuel Navarrete by split decision of the judges and won the vacant WBO lightweight title.
"I understand that not many people believed in Denis, not many people believed in our team, and there are reasons for that. Yes, Beric is already an age boxer, yes, I am still a very young trainer, yes Varquero (Navarrete - ed.) was the champion in three weight categories and the undisputed favorite in all bookmaker quotes, but if you prepare well, then you can roll mountains.
We're just regular guys from DVR3 who dreamed, worked hard and came to what we came to. I know that Beric is worthy of a world title and I am worthy of preparing a friend for this historic achievement. Dream. Work hard. Anything is possible," Golub wrote on Instagram.
