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."

Irish woman who accused Madeleine McCann suspect of rape fears he will hunt her down if freed
Christian Brueckner (48), is due to be freed from a German jail in September Christian Brueckner was tried in Germany for Ms Behan's rape and was found not guilty on the basis of insufficient evidence (Getty) An Irish woman who alleged she was raped at knifepoint by the main suspect in the disappearance of toddler Madeleine McCann says she fears he will seek her out following his release from prison. Christian Brueckner (48), is due to be freed from a German jail in September after completing his sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old US woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2005. Hazel Behan (41), who has waived her right to anonymity, said she fears the German man will 'hunt her down'. 'His sentence may be ending but mine never did. I have lived with fear every day for 21 years,' she told The Sun. 'Fear that I'll see him. Fear that he'll find out where I live and hunt me down. I also have fear that he'll do to someone else what he did to me. 'I've called him out in a public forum and I have genuine concern he could confront me. 'I wouldn't put anything past a person like him. 'If he is released, I will worry for every woman and child who, like me, believes the justice system is protecting them. 'A leopard doesn't change his spots.' Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, was acquitted by a German court in relation to the charge of violent rape of Ms Behan at her apartment in Praia da Rocha in Portugal's Algarve. Later this year, Ms Behan expects to discover the outcome of her High Court appeal in Germany against his acquittal for raping her, another woman and a girl in Portugal in 2004. Hazel Behan (Steve Humphreys) Today's News in 90 Seconds - 08 June 2025 Ms Behan has accused the Portuguese authorities of alleged 'inaction' in identifying and prosecuting Brueckner. In April, she lodged an application to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) against the Portuguese authorities over their handling of her attack. Ms Behan also expressed her sympathy and support for the Leicestershire-based family of Madeleine who went missing in Praia da Luz while on holiday with her family in 2007 when she was three years old. 'As a parent, I cannot begin to imagine what they have gone through and continue to go through every day for the past 18 years,' she said. German and Portuguese police and firefighters carried out a three-day search of an area near Praia da Luz last week in the latest efforts to find out what happened to the missing child.
