Bare-Knuckle Fights and Abdullah Mason: Berinchyk Talks About His Return Plans

Ukrainian lightweight Denys Berinchyk has shared an update on his potential return to the ring.

“We’re in talks about organizing a bare-knuckle fight. At the same time, we’re waiting for the boxing match between the Brit and the American (referring to the fight between Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes).

There are three potential fights I could take part in. All of them are still open because I haven’t finalized any of them yet. Whoever offers the best terms will get the fight,” said Berinchyk.

Denys (19-1, 9 KOs) has not fought since the winter of 2025, when he lost his lightweight world title after being stopped by Keyshawn Davis.
