Keyshawn Davis easily dispatches Denys Berinchyk in 4 rounds to win WBO lightweight title, calls out 'Tank' Davis, Lomachenko

It was a Valentine's Day to remember for Keyshawn Davis.

The Norfolk native knocked out Denys Berinchyk in Round 4 to capture the WBO lightweight title in front of a sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden's The Theater on Friday night in New York.

After a heated fight week during which Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) claimed Berinchyk's team sent a racist package to his hotel room, Davis was in control from the opening bell. He held the center of the ring and forced the much smaller Berinchyk (19-1, 9 KOs) onto his back foot. Berinchyk tried to make the contest scrappy and uncomfortable for Davis, but "The Businessman" remained calm behind his jab and fired occasional right hands to Berinchyk's head and torso area, almost all of which were landing.
