The World Boxing Organization (WBO) throws its weight behind a blockbuster:
WBO International lightweight champ Denys Berinchyk (18-0, 9 KOs) squares off with WBO lightweight king Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs).
At stake? The coveted vacant WBO lightweight title.
The clock's ticking for both camps, with a 15-day countdown to kick off negotiations. If they can't cut a deal in time, it's off to a promotional bid war.
Recap their last rounds: Berinchyk clinched a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Higuita. Meanwhile, Navarrete bounced back from a stalemate with Robson Conceicao and went under the knife for left-hand surgery.
