Keyshawn Davis posted on X last night and said he wanted to fight against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz after picking up the WBO lightweight belt of champion Denys Berinchyk on 14 days on February 14 in Madison Square Garden in New York.
Davis’s target: Pitbull
If Keyshawn catches the WBO belt, he should try to avenge his four losses on Cuban Andy cruz Instead of choosing the 5’4 ″ ‘pitbull’ cruz to fight. The choice of cruz would have a cherry-cheek written everywhere. There is little chance that Isaac will agree to fight the massive welterweight-sized Keyhawn because the fight has no money.
The Norfolk, Virginia native Keyshawn has no fanbase outside his hometown, and many fans see him as a top-ranked hype track in the Edgar Berlanga form. Cruz can fight millions that fight Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney in 2026, and he doesn’t waste his time fighting a weight bully for changing the KUM.
‘Pitbull’ Cruz’s fight against Angel Fierro (23-3-2, 18) stole the show last Saturday night with their 10-round war on the bottom map of David Banavidez against David Morrell in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Cruz won the battle with the scores 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94.
A DAWG against another DAWG
I’m not going to lie after getting my belt, I would like to fight against Isaac Cruz. He is a DAWG and I am a DAWG would be a great struggle .💪🏾

The 2020 Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn (12-0, 8 COs) did not say whether he expects Isaac Cruz (27-3-1, 18 COs) to come down to 135 like his last opponent, Gustavo Lemos.
Rather than choosing an opponent from the lightweight section, such as Andy Cruz or Edwin de Los Santos, Keyshawn Light Welterweight chose Lemos, who lost Richardson Hitchins.
The money battle
Keyshawn looked bad last week and said in an interview that he was not interested in fighting Andy Cruz again unless it made financial sense. He is more interested in winning the WBO belt of the 36-year-old Berinchyk on February 14 and then uses it to attract Gervonta Davis to fight him for big money.
