The highly anticipated lightweight clash between Keyshawn Davis and Edwin De Los Santos has been called off after Davis failed to make weight earlier today. As a result, Davis has been stripped of the WBO lightweight world title.
Saturday’s event at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, will still go on, now headlined by a 10-round lightweight battle between undefeated prospect Abdullah Mason and Namibian contender Jeremia Nakathila.
In addition, the junior welterweight bout between Kelvin Davis and Nahir Albright has been elevated to co-main event status. Both the Mason-Nakathila and Davis-Albright fights will air live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
The undercard will stream exclusively on ESPN+, with coverage kicking off at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT.
Fans who wish to request a refund must do so through their original point of purchase. The refund deadline is Saturday, June 7, at 5 p.m.
Please note that venue doors will now open at 5 p.m., and the first fight is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
