Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) is set to turn Scope Arena into a warzone when he defends his WBO lightweight title against Dominican knockout machine Edwin De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KOs) on Saturday, June 7, live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
Keyshawn Davis: “It’s About to Get Lit!”
At the Attucks Theatre press conference, just minutes away from the battlefield, Keyshawn stood proud, promising fireworks.
“It’s a blessing. From Lemos to winning the world title — it kickstarted everything. Now, we’re bringing it back home for the summer. It’s about to get lit!”
Confident as ever, Keyshawn fired a warning at De Los Santos:
“You see how we get down out here. You’re in for a ride. Get ready.”
Mayor Dr. Kenneth Cooper Alexander echoed the city’s excitement:
“DB3 are the complete package — great citizens, great fighters, and great role models. Norfolk is proud.”
The Brothers Davis: DB3 Fully Loaded
-
Kelvin Davis (15-0, 8 KOs) isn’t holding back:
“I’m here to stay. These guys at 140 are baby food. I’m coming for all the belts.”
-
Keon Davis (2-0, 1 KO) is ready to steal the show again:
“The first fight was special. The second time? It’s going to be even better. We’re putting a stamp on it.”
Together, the Davis brothers will be featured on the ESPN+-streamed undercard, aiming for a clean 3-0 sweep in their hometown.
De Los Santos Vows to Silence Norfolk
Edwin De Los Santos, no stranger to hostile crowds, isn’t fazed:
“Thank you for the opportunity, Keyshawn — but you’ve made your first big mistake. I’m coming for the knockout.”
De Los Santos brings real danger, fresh off a gritty performance against Shakur Stevenson and explosive knockouts over top contenders. He’s not flying in for a payday — he’s coming to wreck the party.
Abdullah Mason Steps Up
In the co-feature, rising lightweight wrecking ball Abdullah Mason (18-0, 16 KOs) faces tough Namibian veteran Jeremia Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs).
Mason is unbeaten, dangerous, and knocking loudly at the door of a world title shot.
Nakathila, the man who battered Miguel Berchelt into retirement, is no easy night.
This one will be violent.

‘They’re baby food’? Really? What a cheesy line from Kelvin Davis 😂🍔 This whole event is packed with funny quotes that make boxing feel like a comedy show instead of a sport.
‘Warzone’? More like an overhyped playground fight between kids who wanna show off! Let’s face it, if De Los Santos loses again, what’s left for him? 🤷♂️
*Yawn* another boxing match? Are we supposed to get excited over two guys hitting each other? It’s basically glorified wrestling but with less fun costumes 😂.
@LiamLewis You must be joking! This fight is gonna be epic! These are warriors ready to fight for honor! Who cares about showbiz when you got real fighters? #GetLit 🔥
This article contains a lot of good information about the fighters and their records. Keyshawn and Edwin both have impressive stats that can lead to an intense match-up on Saturday night.
‘Intense match-up’ sounds nice, but we must also consider their mental state and how they perform under pressure. This will be key in determining the outcome of the fight.
‘Mental state’? Please! At the end of the day, it’s who punches harder that matters most! All this strategy talk just clouds what really happens in there!
Honestly, I think this whole event is overrated. Just a bunch of hype for two guys who might not even deliver. Boxing is becoming more about show than skill these days. Sad to see. 😒
I disagree! It’s great to see fighters like Davis coming up and bringing energy back into boxing. It’s not just about skill, it’s about entertainment too! The crowd will love it!
Wow, this fight sounds so exciiting! Keyshawn is gonna light up the arena and De Los Santos seems really tough too. I just hope they both stay safe in the ring. Can’t wait! 🔥
