Keyshawn Davis accused his opponent Denys Berinchyk and his team of sending a racist gift box containing bananas and watermelons to his hotel room.

Davis made the accusation this week on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and followed up in person during a press conference on Wednesday.

“I’m going to f— you up on Friday,” Davis said during the press conference.


Davis repeatedly called Berinchyk a racist during the heated confrontation.

Berinchyk said he doesn’t speak English and denied the allegation.
