Keyshawn Davis and Edwin De Los Santos held their final presser for their WBO Lightweight Title fight on June 7.
Davis enters the fight with the best win of his career. He knocked out Denys Berinchyk to secure his world title, taking his record to 13-0 with nine stoppages. While Keyshawn wanted to unify after having called out Gervonta Davis, the latter is expected to run things back with Lamont Roach Jr. following their controversial majority draw.
De Los Santos has been out of the ring since 2023, when he faced Shakur Stevenson. De Los Santos lost a unanimous decision, missing out on the WBC Lightweight Title. However, De Los Santos is one of the most explosive punchers in the division, with a 16-2 record that includes 14 KOs. During the face-off, Keyshawn shoved De Los Santos.
“I want him to say that he’s going to come here and win and try to take my strap. I didn’t pick him for him to not say stuff like that. I picked him because I know that he’s going to come to create a great fight for the fans that are coming out. And it’s going to be a great fight, but he’s not going to hear And The New.”
“He’s coming to fight and put on a performance because his last one was trash.” “I knew I was a world champion going into the sport. A title just puts the icing on the cake. I know who I am with or without the belt. I’m the Businessman. I put on great fights. I put on great performances.
“DB3 sold out the Scope last time, and we all weren’t world champions yet. They just know what we can do, and I know what I can do. I’m the Businessman. And I’m knocking out Edwin De Los Santos on Saturday.
“Our coaches told us that they’d never see us train this hard. Kelvin has a big fight coming up. Keon has an undefeated fighter coming up. I’m a world champion now, so I’m carrying things a lot differently now. Ya’ll are going to see Saturday night,” Keyshawn
“I had a health problem. I had a blood clot in my leg. Unfortunately, I had to be outside the ring for a long time because of that. Nothing in life is easy. What comes easily goes away fast. We are doing something difficult, because one can become great through difficult things.”
“The result will be different this time because I defeated death. And after I defeated death, I know there is nothing bigger than that. Everyone will hear the words And The New! And it will be something great for me, my people in the Dominican Republic, and all the Latinos,” De Los Santos
