Keyshawn Davis says he’s ready to make a statement in his rematch with Nahir Albright after posting footage of a tough workout in Las Vegas ahead of their May 16 fight in Norfolk, Virginia
The former WBO lightweight champion was shown in the ring after completing 12 rounds of sparring, covered in sweat with blood visible on his white t-shirt.
The blood appeared to have come from his sparring partner after a demanding session, adding to the message Davis wanted to send before fight night.
Davis made it clear he expects an end when he meets Albright again next month.
- “This fight is not personal. I’m going to stop him just like I stop all these other guys. It’s going to be amazing. May 16,” Keyshawn said on X.
The rematch has mixed reactions, as their first meeting three years ago was later changed to a no-contest after Davis tested positive for marijuana. Some supporters also questioned why Davis would visit an opponent many expected him to move on at this stage, especially with bigger opportunities available at £140 and several new names in the division.
Others believe the fight may have personal value after Albright later defeated Davis’ brother, Kelvin Davis, although this has not been publicly suggested as the reason by Team Davis.
Whatever the motive, Davis now has a chance to close old business in front of his home fans. A clear win would help solidify his run at super lightweight, but anything less would bring more questions than answers and fresh criticism about the matchups.
