"Anybody that got the balls to step in the ring to fight me. Tell 'em come on, anybody. There's two 135 [pound] division champions that I would love to fight. If they got the guts to step in the ring with 'The Businessman,' tell 'em send me the contract, or I'll send them one."

Keyshawn Davis claimed Wednesday morning to have been sent a package with racist implications that contained bananas and a watermelon to his hotel room.

"I want to address the fact that this guy came to America to give me bananas and watermelon with a note on it," Davis said at Wednesday's pre-fight press conference. "It's unprofessional, and I feel like it's racist — and you just made this fight a little more personal."

Berinchyk denied any responsibility, but Davis refused to believe him.

Davis rose out of his seat at the final press conference to stand right in front of Berinchyk and launched a rant at him.

"Bro, you're not tougher than me," Davis said to Berinchyk. "You can talk about all of that bare-knuckle stuff — I don't care about none of that. I come from what I come from, I've been doing this bare-knuckle s*** outside the ring. All that s*** you talk about, I don't care. I going to f*** you up Friday."

Security was ultimately forced to intervene to separate a very animated Davis from Berinchyk at their face off.
