Already this Saturday in London (England), the unbeaten Ukrainian lightweight Denis Berinchyk (16-0, 9 KOs) will return to the ring after almost a year’s break in performances – the silver medalist of the 2012 Olympics and the 2011 World Cup among amateurs helped to resist the barbaric invasion of Putin’s horde in Ukraine.
Denis’ opponent in the boxing evening, the main event of which will be the third fight between Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora, will be experienced Frenchman Ivan Mendy (47-5-1, 22 KOs). Mendy’s EBU European title will be at stake.
On the eve of the fight, the Ukrainian boxer told why he decided to continue his career.
“In March, I was forced to suspend the training process and join the team of volunteers who helped our military and people in “hot spots,” Berinchyk said. — We were in many places, very close to the front. After that, it was not easy to return to the gym, but I understood that the Ukrainians needed victories, so I could not miss the opportunity to raise the Ukrainian flag in the European ring.”
