Keyshawn Davis knocked out Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round on Friday night to win the WBO lightweight title.

Keyshawn Davis has been a standout prospect among the crop of young, talented American boxers since transitioning to the professional ranks after securing silver at the 2020 Olympics. Friday's clash with WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk was supposed to be about 25-year-old Davis' attempt to capture his first world championship but has taken a significantly nastier turn as the fight has approached.

Davis, the 25-year-old American, defeated Ukrainian Denys Berinchyk by knockout and claimed the WBO world lightweight title. The finishing blow was a body shot in the fourth round that left Berinchyk kneeling on the canvas as the referee reached the count of 10.
