Keyshawn Davis

“I want him to say that he would come here, won and try to take my belt. I did not choose him to say such things. I chose him because I know that he would come to create a great fight for fans who leave. And this will be a great fight, but he did not hear”

“He comes to fight and implements the performance because his last was rubbish.”

“I knew that I am a world champion in this sport. He just puts the icing on the cake. I know who I am with or without. I am a businessman. I fight in great fights. I put great performances.”

“DB3 has sold out the range last time and we were not all of the world champions. They just know what to do and I know what to do. I am a businessman. And on Saturday I am throwing Edwin de los Santos.”

“Our trainers told us that they have never seen that they train so demanding. Kelvin has a great fight. Keon has the coming undefeated warrior. I am now a world champion, so now I wear things.

Edwin de los Santos

“I had a health problem. I had a blood clot in my leg. Unfortunately, I had to be out of the ring because of this.”

“Nothing in life is basic. What disappears quickly quickly. We do something hard because you can become great through hard things.”

“This time the result will be different because I overcame death. And after defeating my death I know that there is nothing more.”

“Everyone will hear these words! And it will be something great for me, my people in the Dominican Republic and all Latinos.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
