Keyshawn Davis has made a significant announcement today, confirming that his next fight will be against the WBO lightweight champion, Denys Berinchyk, in a bid to claim the prestigious belt. However, the date and location of this highly anticipated bout remain undetermined.

Clout Chasing and Controversy

During his post-fight interview after the November 8th match against Gustavo Lemos, Keyshawn Davis used the opportunity to call out WBA champion Gervonta Davis. This move was seen by many as a blatant attempt at clout-chasing, merely to gain more attention from fans. It was a rather pathetic display, as he tried to leverage another champion's name for his own benefit.Interestingly, this incident added another layer of complexity to his boxing journey. While he focused on getting attention, the real fight for the title was looming.

Berinchyk's Rise to Champion

Denys Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs) achieved a major milestone by capturing the vacant WBO 135-lb title with a 12-round split decision win over Emanuel Navarrete on May 18th. Had Navarrete won, it would have set up a more favorable in-house match between him and Keyshawn. However, the current scenario of Berinchyk vs. Keyshawn may not generate the same level of excitement.Some believe that if Keyshawn had fought his four-time conquer, Andy Cruz, instead of Berinchyk, the fight would have been more appealing. Cruz has expressed his desire to face Keyshawn, but Keyshawn has used various excuses, claiming that Cruz is not ready.

Keyshawn's Championship Aspirations

Keyshawn Davis is desperate to become a champion and believes that winning the WBO belt will open the doors to a massive payday against WBA lightweight champion Tank Davis. But the reality is that capturing the title from Berinchyk may not necessarily make Tank want to fight him.There is a concern that if Keyshawn wins the title, he might end up fighting no-name opposition for years, gradually losing his relevance at the lightweight division. He already seems to be moving towards the welterweight category, and it remains to be seen if he can maintain his weight and continue to fight at 135 lbs.

The Upcoming Title Fight

Bernardo Osuna asked Keyshawn Davis about his next steps after becoming the WBO mandatory challenger. Keyshawn responded by stating that Denys Berinchyk is his next opponent. He acknowledged Berinchyk as an undefeated pressure fighter from Ukraine, who is friends with Lomachenko and Usyk.Keyshawn believes that Berinchyk has been overlooked and that this fight will be exciting. He is confident that if the fight takes place in Norfolk, like his last one against Lemos, Berinchyk may have no chance of winning. In his last fight against Navarrete in San Diego, California, many fans believed Berinchyk should have won, but one judge scored it in favor of Navarrete, which was a controversial decision.If the fight goes to the scorecards, it remains to be seen if the judges will give an advantage to the visiting fighter. The outcome of this title fight will undoubtedly have a significant impact on Keyshawn Davis' career and the lightweight division as a whole.
