Ernesto Mercado called out Nahir Albright and said he wanted to take his belt from him. Albright (17-2, 7 food) won the vacant WBC USA Silver Super Light Welterweight title with his 10-round victory over Kelvin Davis last Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia.
It is not a big belt that a fighter usually wants to win. Mercado (17-0, 16 COs) does not need an excuse to be interested in fighting against Albright, as his popularity is on the rise after his victory over the previously unbeaten Kelvin.
Mercado challenges Albright
“I will take the belt happy and easy From his Chris Brown he looks a **, “Mercado says on social media, calling Nahir Albright.
Albright Mercado is unlikely to accommodate, as he wants to convey his victory over Davis in a big payday against a more notable fighter. He will not get the big names at 135, 140 or 147 to fight against him, but he can do better than Ernesto.
Keyhawn Rematch targeted
Nahir Albright, 29, says he wants a re -broadcast with Keyshawn, to whom he lost in 2023 through a ten -round majority decision. He injured Davis in the eighth round and dominated the last four rounds. He seems to have done enough to defeat Keyshawn, but the judges gave it to the top-promoted fighter.
After that, Keyshawn complained when his victory was taken away and a decision decided because he tested positive for a forbidden substance. He sounded as if he had been wronged by his victory, saying he was going to buy a ‘house’. He sounded as if he couldn’t understand why his victory would be taken away to test positively for a banned drug. It was strange.
Mercado is fighting a 10-round against Jonathan Montrel (19-2, 13 COs) on Saturday, June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. The battle is on the bottom map of Richardson Hitchins against George Kambosos jr. And will be shown Live on dazn.
Albright’s newfound fame
Albright reveals that Keonhawn and Keon Davis jumped in his locker room gave him more fame. This is not the biggest way to become well known in the boxing world, but it works. The combination of his victory over Davis, claiming that DB3 attacked him, put him on the map.
