But the 2020 Olympic silver medalist missed weight by 4.3lb and was stripped of his WBO lightweight world title.
And opponent Edwin De Los Santos later pulled out of fighting Keyshawn at a revised weight - but was still paid his full purse.
The show still went on and Keon scored a knockout win but Kelvin was stunned on points by Nahir Albright.
And later in the night, ESPN footage captured the moment Keyshawn was involved in a backstage brawl with Albright.
In an interview with ESPN, Albright claimed he was "jumped" by Keyshawn and Keon.
He said: "They started walking up to me all tough, putting his head against mine, and then grabbed me.
"Then I was about to swing, but my team and everybody, they grabbed Keyshawn and everything, and it was crazy."
Albright also alleged that Keyshawn headbutted him and added he is contemplating whether to take legal action.
The Davis brothers declined to comment when asked by ESPN.
Keyshawn beat Albright by decision in 2023 - but the win was overturned to a no-contest when he tested positive for marijuana.
Now Albright says there is unfinished business between the two that he plans to settle one way or another.
He said: "It's definitely unfortunate, but it added fuel to the flame. Keyshawn, you gotta run it back with me - in the ring, not outside of the ring."

Astros DFA former first-round pick Forrest Whitley
June 8 - Right-hander Forrest Whitley, once a top-10 prospect in baseball, was designated for assignment by the Houston Astros on Sunday. The Astros selected him with the No. 17 pick of the 2016 MLB Draft out of high school in San Antonio and gave him a $3.148 million signing bonus, but he failed to reached expectations. Now 27, he didn't debut in Houston until the 2024 season and made three relief appearances, giving up no earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. This season, Whitley appeared in five games for Houston, with opponents scoring 10 earned runs on nine hits and six walks in 7 1/3 innings. He has no decisions with an ERA of 12.27. In the minor leagues, he has 117 appearances (65 starts) and a 17-20 record with a 4.75 ERA over 306 2/3 innings. He struck out 421 batters and walked 160. In a corresponding move, the Astros recalled left-hander Brandon Walter from Triple-A Sugar Land. Walter, 28, made one start for the Astros this season, giving up three hits, walking one and striking out five in five innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 20. He didn't figure into the decision of the 3-2 Houston loss. --Field Level Media

Report: Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey will not attend minicamp
June 8 - Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey does not plan to attend the team's mandatory minicamp this week while the club continues to seek a trade, NFL Network reported on Sunday. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said prior to the 2025 NFL Draft that Ramsey didn't request a trade, but they came to the joint realization that a potential move makes sense following several conversations about his contract. Ramsey, 30, signed a three-year contract extension in September 2024 and then started all 17 games for Miami. Grier didn't select a cornerback until the 150th pick in April's draft -- Florida's Jason Marshall Jr. Ramsey is guaranteed $25.1 million in 2025, but a new team would owe him $21.1 million since the Dolphins already have paid his $4 million roster bonus. Ramsey came to Miami in March 2023 in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams for a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long. Ramsey missed the first seven games that season with a knee injury, but he still made the Pro Bowl for the seventh time. --Field Level Media

A runaway pet zebra has been captured in Tennessee
A runaway pet zebra that was on the loose for more than a week in Tennessee and became an internet sensation in the process was captured Sunday, authorities said. Ed the Zebra was captured safely after being located in a pasture near a subdivision in the Christiana community in central Tennessee, the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office confirmed. The sheriff's office said aviation crews captured the zebra. 'Ed was airlifted and flown by helicopter back to a waiting animal trailer,' the sheriff's office said in a statement. Video posted by the sheriff's office shows Ed wrapped in a net with his head sticking out as he is carried by the helicopter to the trailer. Ed arrived in Christiana on May 30, the sheriff's office said. His owner reported him missing the next day. The zebra was spotted and filmed running along Interstate 24, forcing deputies to shut the roadway. But Ed escaped into a wooded area. There were several sightings posted to social media. Ed was filmed trotting through a neighborhood. The zebra quickly became the subject of internet memes. One fake posting showed Ed dining at a Waffle House, a southern staple. Others had him visiting other Tennessee cities or panhandling on the side of the road.
