Top Rank Vice President: "Navarrete is the Perfect Fighter"

In an interview with Luckypunch.net, Carlo Moretti, the Vice President of Top Rank Boxing, shared his expectations for the fight for the vacant WBO lightweight title (up to 61,2 kg) between Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs) and Denys Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs).

"For Navarrete, the fight against Berinchyk is a great opportunity to conquer a fourth weight class and inscribe his name in the history of boxing. Not many fighters have managed to do that.

Emanuel is a perfect fighter who is very awkward for his opponents. Sometimes it seems like he's making mistakes in the ring, but no one can deal with his style of fighting. Navarrete always finds a way to win.

Berinchyk is a great amateur boxer who has finally gotten his chance in the pros to fight for a world championship belt. I'm confident he will be 100% ready for the fight on May 18th. I think so because I've seen his past fights.

The Navarrete vs. Berinchyk fight will be interesting to the American audience since local fans always respect Ukrainian boxers and also love Emanuel very much. I expect to see real fireworks in the ring, as it should be in a confrontation for a world champion's belt," Moretti said.

The fight between Emanuel Navarrete and Denys Berinchyk is scheduled for May 18th at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, USA.
