From contender to world champion, Keyshawn Davis has carved his name into the boxing elite with a blend of precision, grit, and undeniable star power.

Once a rising prospect, Keyshawn Davis sharpened his skills with every bout, gaining lessons, momentum, and confidence. Now, he stands at the pinnacle—a world champion, not chasing the crown but defending it. After an electrifying knockout victory over Denys Berinchyk on February 14 at Madison Square Garden Theatre, Davis returns to the ring three months later, fueled by momentum and unwavering confidence. With a perfect 13-0-0 (9 KOs) record, he is set to defend his WBO World Lightweight title in a showdown brimming with intensity and anticipation.

Across the ring, on June 7th at the Scope Arena, Norfolk, United States, awaits the heavy puncher Edwin De Los Santos, a Dominican professional who is 16-2-0(14 KOs). Although Edwin has been inactive for one year, he has previously managed to disrupt some of the favourite contenders. His last fight was a unanimous decision win in favour of his opponent Shakur Stevenson on November 16, 2023. Before that, a unanimous decision favoured him over Joseph Adorno on July 8, 2023, in a 10-round contest at Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City. He now has a chance to challenge a star and make a name for himself.

Keyshawn Davis is not exploring the boxing world alone; he and his brothers are part of a boxing group known as DB3. Kelvin and Keon are also making waves in the sport as rising professionals. Together, they form not just a family but a force driven by shared passion, relentless work, and a bond forged in both blood and discipline. The countdown continues-live streaming on ESPN.
