Boxer Keyshawn Davis ‘escorted out by police after backstage brawl caught on camera with his brother's opponent'
BOXER Keyshawn Davis was reportedly escorted out by police after a backstage brawl with his brother's opponent. Keyshawn was due to headline a homecoming show in Norfolk, Virginia with his brothers Keon and Kelvin on the undercard. 5 5 5 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." 5 5

Fighter says Keyshawn Davis and his brother 'jumped me' after bout at Scope
Keyshawn Davis' homecoming went from bad to worse. Boxer Nahir Albright on Saturday said Davis and younger brother Keon 'jumped' him in the locker room after Albright defeated Kelvin Davis — the Davis' older brother — by majority decision at Scope in Norfolk. Advertisement The scuffle came a day after Keyshawn Davis' bout against Edwin De Los Santos was canceled when Davis missed weight for what was slated to be his first fight since becoming World Boxing Organization lightweight champion. Multiple videos on X showed Keyshawn and Kelvin Davis in an incident in a Scope hallway, and CBS Sports reported that Keyshawn Davis was escorted out of the arena after police were called. Albright was shown during an ESPN post-fight interview with a bump on his head that he said came after he and Keyshawn Davis butted heads during the locker room scuffle. 'Keyshawn and his little brother (Keon), like, jumped me,' Albright told ESPN. 'They started walking up to me all tough and putting his head against mine. Then he grabbed me and I was about to swing but my team and everybody grabbed Keyshawn and everything. It was crazy.' Advertisement Kelvin Davis, 28, suffered his first pro defeat via majority decision against Albright on Saturday night. That was Albright's second professional fight against a Davis brother after fighting Keyshawn Davis in 2023. Keyshawn Davis defeated Albright by a majority decision, but the result was changed to a no-contest by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation because Davis tested positive for marijuana. Keyshawn Davis, a Norfolk native who became the WBO lightweight world champion with a knockout of Denys Berinchyk on Feb. 14, was scheduled to fight De Los Santos on Saturday night at Scope. But Davis came in at 139.3 pounds — 4.3 pounds over the 135-pound limit — during a weigh-in Friday. Rather than attempt to cut down to the weight limit, Davis opted to give up his his WBO lightweight title. The Davis and De Los Santos camps attempted to negotiate an agreement to keep the fight on, but the sides could not come to an agreement. This is a developing story. Check and later Sunday for more details.

Keyshawn Davis escorted out by police after wild backstage brawl with fighter who beat Davis' brother
A nightmare week for Keyshawn Davis somehow got even worse. Davis was supposed to make the first defense of his WBO lightweight world title Saturday night at a sold-out Scope Arena in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. However, he missed weight by more than four pounds for his main event bout against Edwin De Los Santos at Friday's weigh-in, and the fight was canceled just 24 hours before it was scheduled to take place. Davis was subsequently stripped of his title. Advertisement As a result, Davis instead watched along as a spectator as his brother Kelvin Davis lost his unbeaten record in the night's reshuffled co-feature to Nahir Albright, whom Keyshawn Davis himself faced in October 2023 and beat by majority decision, although the latter result was later changed to a no contest after Davis tested positive for marijuana. Albright claimed that following his win over Kelvin, he was involved in an altercation with Keyshawn and younger brother Keon Davis in his locker room. "Keyshawn and his little brother [Keon Davis] jumped me," Albright said on the ESPN broadcast. "They started walking up to me, all tough, putting his head against mine, and then grabbed me." Advertisement ESPN later showed footage of a backstage brawl involving the Davis brothers, with punches and objects thrown. Keyshawn Davis had to be escorted out of the Scope Arena by police following the incident. Keyshawn Davis can be seen on video accompanied by his infant son in a stroller backstage moments before the brawl. "Why would you put your family in this type of situation?" ESPN broadcaster Bernardo Osuna commented on the incident. "It's just uncalled for and unfortunate what we've seen here at the Scope Arena." Check out full event results and highlights from Saturday here, including Abdullah Mason stopping Jeremia Nakathila in the fifth round in the night's replacement main event.
