Promoting the Event
Back in April, the promotion released a press conference for Lobov vs. Berinchik. The fighters exchanged gifts, fielded questions from media members, and promised that the battle would be must-see TV, guaranteeing their all.
During the presser, Artem admitted that he chose the wrong approach to training for bare-knuckle boxing. After his first fight against Jason Knight, he realized that fights with bare fists are different than regular boxing. So, he completely changed his approach for the matchup against Denys Berinchyk.
