How Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis reacted to possibly fighting new WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk

It wasn't pretty but Denys Berinchyk managed to show enough ring savvy to become the new WBO lightweight world champion with a split-decision win over Emanuel Navarrete on Saturday night.

The aftermath of the victory had the 36-year-old Berinchyk expressing interest in fighting fellow WBC lightweight world titleholder Shakur Stevenson and surging fighter Keyshawn Davis.

So how did they react to the newly-crowned champ's call-outs?

First Stevenson downplayed the possibility of IBF lightweight world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko taking on his fellow Ukrainian, Berinchyk, as Stevenson has been lobbying for a fight against Loma himself.

But Stevenson did seem to respect Berinchyk saying his name.

Davis, meanwhile, didn't take the call-out from Berinchyk as a threat at all. Instead, he signaled that their pairing would make for a long night in the office for Berinchyk if the fight were to be made.
