Professional boxer Keyshawn Davis caught in backstage brawl after brother's unexpected loss
The Davis family, which includes junior welterweight Kelvin and welterweight Keon, is from the area, and it was expected to be a great night of boxing and celebration.
However, after Kelvin was upset by Nahir Albright in their co-main event fight, Keon and Keyshawn both got involved in an altercation with Albright backstage.
The altercation was caught on video as broadcast cameras captured a large skirmish that led to Albright getting banged up.
Albright showed up to this post-fight press conference with notable facial wounds that weren't seen in the ring after the fight with Kelvin.
Albright alleges that he was "jumped" by Keyshawn and Keon backstage after his victory against Kelvin.
"They started walking up to me all tough, putting his head against mine, and then grabbed me," Albright told ESPN. "Then I was about to swing, but my team and everybody, they grabbed Keyshawn and everything, and it was crazy."
Albright noted during his scrum with reporters that he hasn't decided with his team if he will be pressing any legal charges.
Kelvin posted to social media on Sunday to apologize to Albright for the altercation, where he denied his brothers "jumped" him.
"On behalf of DB3, we apologize for conducting ourselves in that way tension was high and emotions got the best of us we will be back and better and more professional its ups and downs with this and we gone take what comes with it.... With that being said WE DIDNT JUMP NOBODY," Davis said in his social media statement.
There is some history between Albright and Keyshawn, the latter winning by unanimous decision the last time they fought in 2023. But the decision was overturned to a no-contest after Keyshawn tested positive for marijuana.
Before the altercation, Keyshawn was already having a bad weekend despite being home. He missed weight and was stripped of his WBO lightweight title belt, as his main event bout with Edwin De Los Santos was canceled.

Burger hits RBI single in 10th as Rangers end 4-game skid with win over Diamondbacks
ARLINGTON, Texas — Jake Burger hit a pinch-hit RBI single in the 10th inning and the Texas Rangers ended their four-game losing streak with a 7-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Burger lined a 99.4 mph pitch from Andrew Saalfrank (0-1) off the left-field wall to end the game. Sam Haggerty, the automatic runner who had advanced to third on Marcus Semien's flyout, scored the winning run. Rowdy Tellez had tied the game when he homered leading off the bottom of the ninth. Phil Maton (2-3), who earned his first win with Texas as the fifth reliever after starter Nathan Eovaldi struggled, retired all three batters he faced in the 10th. The Rangers overcame a 5-0 deficit after Arizona hit three off its four homers off Eovaldi, who had gone 6-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his previous six starts since the beginning of July. The veteran right-hander ended up with a no-decision after allowing season highs of five runs and eight hits over five innings. Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo both hit two-run homers in the third, an inning after rookie first baseman Tyler Locklear's solo shot. Blaze Alexander homered in the sixth and Arizona, which had won its last three games, led 6-1. Dbacks starter Ryne Nelson struck out six without a walk over his 5 1/3 innings. He exited after Wyatt Langford's three-run homer got the Rangers within 6-5. Corey Seager had an RBI double in the Texas third, then drove in another run with a single before scoring on Langford's 16th homer. The 13th homer this season for Tellez, who has two in 16 games since joining the Rangers about three weeks ago. The Rangers are 7-5 in extra innings, 5-3 at home. Arizona dropped to 4-9. Rangers rookie Jack Leiter (7-6, 4.05 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Tuesday night. Anthony DeSclafani (1-2, 4.20) goes for the Diamondbacks. ___ AP MLB:
