Keyshawn Davis Brings the Belt Home to Norfolk

Undefeated lightweight champion Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) returns to his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, this Saturday, June 7, to defend his WBO world title against dangerous Dominican contender Edwin De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KOs) at Scope Arena.

Davis claimed the belt in February with a commanding fourth-round TKO over Denys Berinchyk. Just months prior, he brought the house down in Norfolk with a second-round demolition of Gustavo Lemos in front of a sold-out crowd of over 10,000 fans.

Now, Davis is back — as champion — and ready to give his hometown another show.

Co-Feature: Abdullah Mason Looks to Shine

In the co-main event, rising lightweight sensation Abdullah Mason (18-0, 16 KOs) continues his rapid ascent, facing rugged veteran Jeremia Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs) in a 10-round clash. Mason, just 21 years old, has dazzled with power and precision, but Nakathila’s heavy hands and experience could test the young phenom like never before.

Fighter Quotes from the Final Press Conference

Keyshawn Davis:

"He’s coming to fight and put on a show. But he’s not going to hear ‘And the New.’ I’m the Businessman. I make statements — and I’m knocking out Edwin De Los Santos on Saturday."

Edwin De Los Santos:

"I’ve already beaten death. I had a blood clot in my leg, but I’m back. And now I’m going to shock the world and hear ‘And the New’ — for me, my country, and all Latinos."

Abdullah Mason:

"Nakathila’s tough and he can punch, but I’m locked in. I’m going to stay sharp and get him out of there like the rest. I’m stealing the show."

Jeremia Nakathila:

"I’ve been in with the best. This is nothing new. I respect Mason, but I’ve trained for this, and I’m ready to show what I can do."

Kelvin Davis:

"He’s just a man in my way. He’s too little. I love the pressure — and I’m putting him to sleep."

Nahir Albright:

"I’ve been through hell since the Keyshawn fight. I’m a single dad and I kept grinding. Now I’m here — and Kelvin’s going to find out what that fight back looks like."

Troy Isley:

"I’m not talking much. I’m locked in and ready to show I’m the king of this middleweight division."

Keon Davis:

"I stepped away from boxing for a while, but I realized I’ve got real talent. I’m back now — with my brothers — and better than ever."
