Keyshawn Davis will be deprived of his airy title WBO after he did not find his planned defense for the title against Edwin de los Santos on Saturday evening at the Scope Arena in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia.
26-year-old Davis arrived at 139.3 pounds, 4.3 pounds above the 135 pounds weight limit. Instead of trying to reduce the weight limit, Davis decided to give up the title.
“I interrupted the weight,” said Davis (13-0, 9 KO). “I put this weight for four years. I got up behind schedule yesterday and early this morning, trying to earn weight, but I surpassed it.”
Because of Miss, only De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) will be entitled to win the WBO title on Saturday evening. This would be the first defense of the title for Davis after detaining Denys Berinchyk in February to become the world champion. But now Davis will try to deal with business on Saturday evening and a campaign in a up-to-date weight class after this fight.
“The program must last,” Davis said about the missing weight, but he still competes for the second time before his hometown.
Miss’s weight was not a complete surprise, because Davis already had plans to go to Junior Juniors, regardless of the result.
Sebastian Fundora will return to action tonight, defending his WBC super welterweight title against Ermal Hadribaj in a main event that will air live on TNT as well as stream on DAZN.
Fundora has staked his claim as the top dog at 154 lbs right now, though there are other, potentially tougher challenges than Hadribeaj, but the challenger has his chance tonight, and he’ll look to make it count.
UPDATE (2:35 pm ET): The fight between Brandon Figueroa and Tomoki Kameda has been officially canceled. Figueroa lost his WBA featherweight title on the scales yesterday, then fell ill overnight.
Wil Esco will lead the live coverage this evening, with live results and updates for the two main card undercard bouts, then round-by-round results and updates for the main event. Join us!
