Boxer alleges that his rival, whom he considers to be racist, sent him a package containing bananas and watermelon prior to their fight.

On Wednesday, a press conference between Keyshawn Davis and Denys Berinchyk turned into a heated exchange as Davis accused his opponent and his team of sending him a racially charged package. Davis, a 25-year-old American boxer, is set to fight for his first world title on Friday against WBO lightweight champion Berinchyk in New York.

Davis took to social media to share his shocking experience, posting a picture of a package he received in his hotel room containing bananas and a watermelon. The attached note read, "Here's a snack for all those high jumps... stay energized," and was signed with a name that appeared to be "businesswom." In his post, Davis accused Berinchyk and his team of being behind the racist gesture, saying, "I never thought bro was racist but this fight just got a little more personal."

However, Berinchyk and his team denied any involvement in the incident. During the press conference, Davis brought up the package again, claiming that his opponent had brought it to America in an attempt to be disrespectful and racist. Berinchyk responded briefly in Ukrainian, stating that he does not speak or write English and that the whole situation was fabricated by people looking for hype.

Despite Berinchyk's denial, Davis continued to accuse him of being responsible for the package, even interrupting his opponent's translator to voice his thoughts. The two then had a heated face-off, with Davis repeatedly muttering "racist" towards Berinchyk.

Later, Berinchyk's promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, who also represents heavyweight champion Oleksandr Uysk, spoke out about the incident, claiming that he had no knowledge of the package and that it was disrespectful towards his fighter. He also stated that Berinchyk is an honorable champion who is solely focused on boxing and would never engage in such behavior.

In a separate interview, another member of Berinchyk's team also denied any involvement in the package, stating that Berinchyk has no knowledge of it and that it is Davis' problem. Despite the denial, Davis remains convinced that Berinchyk and his team were behind the racist gesture and has vowed to "whip his ass" in the upcoming fight.

The tension between the two fighters has only increased as a result of this incident, making Friday's fight even more personal and intense. It is clear that both Davis and Berinchyk are determined to come out on top, and only time will tell who will be the victor in this highly anticipated match.
