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.

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."
