Swedish boxer Anthony Yigit just took on Denys Berinchyk for the WBO International Title in lightweight in front of a massive 40.000 audience at the Stadion Wroclaw in Poland.
Yigit was a big underdog going into the fight but put on one hell of a performance against the undefeated Ukrainian, as he landed creative combinations and clean punches while Berinchyk pushed forward.
The fight went the distance and after the final bell Berinchyk stood as the winner via unanimous decision, with 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113 on the scorecards, to retain the WBO International Lightweight title and improve his unbeaten record to 18-0.
He will now be ranked as a top contender for the WBO lightweight title.
