On the eve of the main boxing night in London, a weigh-in ceremony was held at the O2 Arena, where Ukrainian boxer Denis Berynchuk and Briton Sam Nowak officially confirmed their readiness for the WBO International lightweight title bout. The fight is scheduled for August 29 and will be part of a card headlined by the heavyweight title clash between Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic. Both contenders for the WBO International belt came in under the division limit and posted virtually identical weights on the scales. ### Numbers on the Scales At the end of the ceremony, Berynchuk weighed in at 60.826 kg, while Nowak was just 14 grams heavier at 60.840 kg. Both boxers are within the lightweight division limit of 61.2 kg. For comparison: before his previous fight against Keishawn Davis, Denis Berynchuk weighed 61.05 kg, meaning the Ukrainian came in noticeably lighter this time than in his last bout. ### Return After a Year and a Half For Berynchuk, the upcoming fight will be his first in a year and a half. The Ukrainian last stepped into the ring in February 2025, when he lost to Keishawn Davis and was stripped of the WBO lightweight championship. Thus, the bout with Nowak at the O2 Arena will be his first attempt to return to the division's elite and reclaim his status as a title contender after losing his championship. ### What's at Stake The WBO International lightweight title is on the line — a belt traditionally considered one of the key routes to mandatory contender status in the division. The London fight, in which Nowak will be backed by the home crowd, will be a test of Berynchuk's ability to regain his form after a long layoff and a loss that cost him his main championship belt. ### Main Event and Broadcast The centerpiece of the August 29 night at the O2 Arena will be the heavyweight title fight between Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic. The Berynchuk–Nowak bout will be part of the same card. In Ukraine, the fight will be broadcast by the MEGOGO media service: viewing requires an "Optimal," "Sport" subscription or any MEGOPACK package. ### Message from the Ring During the weigh-in ceremony, Denis Berynchuk also addressed the London audience and reminded them of the war in Ukraine, displaying Ukrainian symbols. This gesture became part of his public pre-fight appearance and drew additional attention to the boxer beyond the sporting side of the evening. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Berynchuk and Nowak Weighed In at Nearly Identical Weights Ahead of Title Bout](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/boxing/berinchik-ta-nouks-pokazali-mayzhe-rivnu-1787953923.html) - Первичный источник: веса 60,826 и 60,840 кг, лимит 61,2 кг, сравнение с 61,05 кг, контекст боя и трансляция MEGOGO. - [Itauma, Hrgovic, Berynchuk and Nowak Weighed In in London: Numbers and Video](https://vringe.com/news/203437-itauma-khrgovich-berinchik-nouks-vzveshivanie-tsifry-video.htm) - Подтверждает проведение взвешивания в Лондоне и состав карда (Итаума, Хргович, Беринчик, Ноукс). - [Berynchuk Passed the Weigh-In and Displayed the Ukrainian Flag in London](https://sport.ua/news/902257-berinchik-proshel-vzveshivanie-i-prodemonstriroval-ukrainskiy-flag-v-londone) - Подтверждает взвешивание Беринчика и демонстрацию украинской символики. - [Denis Berynchuk and Sam Nowak Weighed In Ahead of Their London Fight](https://www.ua-football.com/sport/box/1787944760-denis-berinchik-i-syem-nouks-proshli-vzveshivanie-pered-boem-v-londone.html) - Подтверждает факт взвешивания обоих боксеров перед боем в Лондоне. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What weights did Berynchuk and Nowak post at the weigh-in? **A:** Berynchuk weighed in at 60.826 kg, Nowak at 60.840 kg.
