While previously reported, a rematch between super lightweights Keyshawn Davis and Nahir Albright is officially on schedule for May 16 at Norfolk’s Scope Arena, and streaming live on DAZN. The card will co-feature Brian Norman Jr making his return against Josh Wagner in a welterweight contest. The card is billed ‘unfinished business’ alluding to the the backstage confrontation the pair had after Keyshawn entered Albright’s locker room post-fight a few years ago.
“Keyshawn and Nahir left a lot of unfinished
business in their 2023 fight, and everything that’s happened since has only intensified the stakes for this rematch,” said Top Rank President Todd duBoef. “Norfolk fans know exactly what this fight means for Keyshawn as he strives to re-establish himself as one of boxing’s elite stars. Brian Norman Jr., who many considered the best fighter in his division before losing his crown, returns in the co-feature looking to re-establish himself as a dominant welterweight with explosive knockout power and charisma. This inaugural doubleheader is the perfect launch of our new partnership with DAZN.”
Keyshawn would tell his fans that he’s expecting to put on a show in front of his home crowd.
“Since my last fight, I’ve grown sharper, stronger, and more focused than ever,” Davis said. “On May 16, you’re going to see the best version of Keyshawn Davis. ‘The Businessman’ is ready to handle business in front of my people! It means everything to be kicking off this new era for Top Rank on DAZN. I’m honored to lead the charge and show the world what this next chapter looks like. Norfolk, stand up–we’re putting on a show!”
Hopefully this time we can keep all the fighting contained within the ropes!
