Keyshawn Davis is no longer the WBO Lightweight champion after he did not get a huge margin.

Davis (13-0, 9 KO) scaled 139.3 pounds while trying to make a specific division limit of 135 pounds, losing his championship.

The opponent Edwin de Los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) hit the sign and is the only boxer who can leave the arena with the belt.

President WBO, Gustavo Olivieri, explained the situation that stood after Friday’s weighing.

“As for the Featherlight WBO division, if the WBO master does not bring weight, the title is abandoned in the scale, regardless of whether the claimant brings weight.

“If the claimant wins, they become a fresh WBO champion. If the former champion, the title remains empty.

“The vacancy should be filled with two highest available pretenders in the division when he defines the championship committee.

“Currently, Noakes sits at number one and (Abdullah) Mason is number two.”

Re: WBO Lightweight Division

If Master WBO is not of importance, the title is abandoned on the scales, regardless of whether the claimant brings weight.

➡️ If the claimant wins, they become the fresh WBO master.

➡️ If the former master, the title remains empty.

Before the defeat of the scale, Davis was looking for an impressive victory in his home.

“I chose him because I know that he will come to create a great fight for fans who leave. And it will be a great fight, but he will not hear and fresh.

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

Perhaps by anticipating his title loss 24 hours earlier, Davis added: “I know who I am with or without. I am a businessman. I introduce great fights. I introduce great performances.”

De los Santos used his platform to explain his long absence in the ring.

“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.

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

Keyshawn Davis is no longer the WBO Lightweight of the World champion. He lost the world championship title not in the ring, but on the scales. On Friday, when he considered his Saturday fight against Edwin de Los Santos, Davis tilted scales worth over 139 pounds – four plus pounds heavier than he was supposed to be in a slight fight for the title. For his part, de los Santos made the weight of body weight in a few ounces below the limit of 135 pounds. It is demanding to imagine what Davis’ excuses can be. Needless to say, Davis did not try to come back on a scale.

“I exceeded the weight,” said Davis. “I put this weight for over four years. I just extorted the weight. I tried. I got up tardy yesterday. I woke up early in the morning, trying to bear the weight. I just grew up, senior. Norfolk Davis, Virginia on the city arena.

How it changes. At the beginning of this year, Davis won the title of WBO World, stopping Denys Berinchyk in four. On the other hand, de los Santos was seen the fight against Shakur Stevenson in what turned out to be a brutally dull romance. Now it will be Davis, whose goal of mockery, while de los Santos becomes more sympathetic from two fighters. Unlike the defending master, De los Santos was able to earn a lot.

Although Davis said that he wanted to move to Munior Welter, it is complex to see how it works positive for Virginians. The victory will probably be perceived as which it brought an unfair advantage. What’s more, brutal win can be a rascal work. And if de los Santos took nervousness, Davis’s career will have at least a solemn hit. Davis is not expected to lose, which probably makes it not so mysterious. Why can you wonder if Davis’s weight problems only arise now?

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.

“To be sincere, I went to 140 pounds anyway.”
