Undefeated rising sensation Keyshawn Davis captured his first major world title last night (Fri., Feb. 14, 2025) from inside the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, defeating Ukrainian champion Denys Berinchyk with a gnarly fourth-round knockout (body punch) to walk away with the WBO lightweight title.

Davis, who made a name for himself after winning silver at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the most promising young names in boxing today. However, the 25-year-old was facing his toughest test to date on Friday night as we he went up against Berinchyk. The Ukrainian fighter carried an undefeated 17-0 record into this weekend and also captured Olympic silver back in 2012.

Fortunately for Davis, he was able to do what he does best and completely overloaded Berinchyk from the opening frame. In turn, Davis was able to find his range and waited for the perfect time to exchange with Berinchyk in close quarters. This resulted in a massive left uppercut to the body in Round 4 that shut Berinchyk down and ended the lightweight main event matchup.

Check out the violent finish in the above video player and more angles below:

Davis, who turns 26 later this month, now joins the ranks of Gervonta Davis, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and Shakur Stevenson as boxing’s four active lightweight champions. That’s incredible company to have if you’re “The Businessman” and it should set him up for big things as 2025 unfolds. After all, Davis only needed 14 fights to win his first major world title, which is tied for second fastest all time.
