At Thursday's press conference for the fight, Davis accused Berinchyk of a racist act, claiming he had bananas and a watermelon delivered to his hotel room. Berinchyk's camp didn't respond to the accusation at the press conference beyond claiming Davis and his team were looking for any edge to hype themselves up for the bout.

Keyshawn Davis prevailed in a battle of unbeatens and won his first world championship Friday. Davis, the 25-year-old American, defeated Ukrainian Denys Berinchyk by knockout and claimed the WBO world lightweight title.
