Edwin de Los Santos says that when he connects with one of his shots, his fight with the airy champion WBO Keyshawn Davis will “end” on the place on June 7. De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) believes that Davis (13-0, 9 KO) will not be able to accept his power and will be destroyed.

Keyshawn vs. De los Santos will be the main range in Norfolk, Virginia. This is the hometown of Davis. So there can be a huge crowd of over 13,000 fans. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+.
From the promise of the saints
“If I connect, I don’t think the fight will continue because It will end– said Edwin de los Santos Warrior Asked what would happen to Keyshawn Davis if he lands well. “On June 7 I intend to take over this city,” said De Los Santos about a fight in the hometown of Davis in Norfolk on the scope arena.
Thanks to one power de los Santos could Koyshawn, if he landed purely as he did against Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. I have the impression that Davis will not allow him to approach to land and will be on a bike from the opening bell. He will get many tips from his “brother” Shakur Stevenson, how to avoid de los Santos, remaining in motion and sticking to when he approaches.
“I’m not worried about the plans. I said that he would not run as Shakur did, but I’m not going to worry about it. We write him during the fight. He went out talking. He looked like he was on vacation. He wants to go on vacation. I go on and do what I do. My challenging work, you will see the results of this,” said De Los Santos.
Keyshawn was not on vacation. Suddenly he became wealthy and it changed him. It seems that since he recently became a millionaire, he stopped talking the same and seems more formal. He completely changed the way he carries himself, clearly pronouncing his words and without sounding penetrating. Not bragging about yourself as it used to be during interviews.
Keyshawna’s reluctance to engage
I almost hear a diminutive British accent, which begins to dig in a way that Americans accept their way of speaking when they receive an influx of money to become wealthy. Keyshawn became another person. This can affect his ability to fight, making him reluctant to engage like his “brother” Shakur. If Davis hesitated to become and fight, de los Santos may need to prosecute him around the ring, as he did with Stevenson in 2023. Davis would be better before he became one of Nouveau Riche.
“This is the reality. Everyone knows the skills and mobility of Shakur, distinguishes him from Keyshawn, and what he did in his fights,” said Edwin, defending his opinion that Shakur Stevenson is a technically better warrior than Keyshawn.
Davis should not upset that de los Santos thinks Shakur is a better warrior than he because it is a fact. Keyshawn is not a boxer or mover like Stevenson. We saw what Keyshawn is doing, in contacts with fighters who press. He holds, fights and uses gritty tactics. It’s great as long as he has a gentle judge who is ready to turn his head when he breaks the rules, but not all judges are like that.
“I have been studying him for a long time, but on the day of the fight we will know. We will go there and see what we have to do,” said De Los Santos about studying Keyshawn.
De los Santos should take the page out of the textbook Andy Cruz and the pressure on Keyshawn, as in four wins against him with amateurs. He fights in the same way as then. The only difference is that he fights with two divisions below his natural size, which is a welterweight.
Keyshawn should fight for 147 or 154, but he knows how challenging life would be against the killers, such as Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Constant pressure on Davis is a way if De los Santos is able to cope with the weight of 15+ pounds with which he will deal with. Keyshawn is lucky that they no longer have a disadvantage on the day of the fight, as before they were detained in the 1980s.
Mayweather support will not lend a hand
“This is good for Floyd. The modern generation that he supports, but this is nothing that will lend a hand him, because Mayweather will not give him four arms in the ring. He will not give him four legs. Mayweather will be outside, and Keyshaw will be in the ring,” said De los Santos, responding to Floyd Jr.
Mayweather will not try to change the 26-year-old Keyshawn combat style because it is already set. He cannot change the way he fights, even if Floyd Jr. He tried to make him in a copy of his style. Devin Haney has already copied the Mayweather fight approach and is perceived as one of the most lifeless warriors in the game. The last thing Davis wants to do is join him.

Oleksandr Usyk is naming the heavyweight fight he wants after Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk is taking Rico Verhoeven seriously, perhaps because he will face a bigger challenge later.
The elite southpaw will face kickboxing icon Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt in a fight focused on spectacle after years of hard-fought victories on the road. Even though Usyk has strayed from his usual matchmaking, he has now assured fans that they can expect a return to top-level championship boxing later.
Speaking on DAZN’s Inside the Ring, Usyk revealed that after the fight, his goal would be to become the undisputed heavyweight champion for a third time, with his primary goal being either Daniel Dubois or Fabio Wardley.
“For me it’s a real fight. Yes, Rico is not a good boxer, ok, nice fight, no problem, but I want my next fight [against the] Daniel Dubois and Wardley winner.”
Wardley was promoted from interim to full WBO champion when the Ukrainian vacated the belt rather than face him as mandatory challenger. His first defense against Dubois, scheduled for May 9 in Manchester, is perilous.
This is a legacy-based strategy that Usyk has used in the past, dropping the IBF belt to allow Dubois’ elevation, defending against Anthony Joshua, and then facing him to regain the belt. If “DDD” defeats Wardley, he could expect a trilogy fight, but fan interest may wane given how the first two fights went.
It all depends on whether Usyk retains his three titles. Although the fight for the WBC belt with Verhoeven is highly controversial, the IBF and WBA leagues have not been mentioned yet. The sanctioning authorities may well decide to declare a vacancy in their belts.

Tank Davis is eyeing a rematch with Isaac Cruz after a tough fight in 2021

Fighters like Raymond Muratalla, Abdullah Mason, William Zepeda and Floyd Schofield represent the direction many expected from Davis, making the return to Cruz a remarkable step, even if the first fight remains the one fans remember.
The fight is being discussed in the 140-pound weight class. Their first meeting took place at lightweight in December 2021 and ended in a unanimous decision for Davis after twelve rounds.
Cruz’s pressure forced Davis (30-1, 28 KO) in a cautious fight rather than the knockout victories that marked much of his career. Davis injured his left hand early in the fight and relied heavily on movement, defense and counters with his right hand while Cruz continued to press forward and raise the volume of his throws.
The judges scored the fight 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 for Davis. Cruz’s pressure kept the contest close and led to a physical twelve-round battle that looked different than many of Davis’ other victories.
Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KO) continued to build his record after this fight, and his victories put him near the top of the division. His aggressive style and willingness to constantly push forward made it the first fight that fans still bring up when discussing Davis’ toughest fights.
Davis most recently fought to a twelve-round draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025 and has been inactive since that fight. A second fight with Cruz would mark a return to a fight that continues to attract attention whenever we analyze Davis’ career.
A novel element is the weight class. Discussions about a rematch point to a fight at 140 pounds, rather than the lightweight limit where they first met.

Keyshawn Davis Claims He’s ‘Increasing Weight For Championship Fight’

Keyshawn Davis has been linked to a move up to welterweight in recent weeks, and it appears “The Businessman” will be making the jump soon, with the “championship fight” date reportedly set at 147 pounds.
Davis was stripped of his WBO lightweight title when he missed weight last June for his scheduled first defense against Edwin De Los Santos. He then moved up to super lightweight and knocked out Jamaine Ortiz in the final round of their fight on the Teofimo Lopez vs. card. Shakur Stevenson.
In the wake of that victory, the Norfolk-born superstar called for a fight against current WBO welterweight world champion Devin Haney, who originally agreed to the fight before negotiations stalled.
As a result, it looked like Davis might stay at 140 pounds, but in… interview for FightHubThe 27-year-old revealed that he has a date for a “championship fight” in preparation for his 147-pound debut.
“I definitely got a response [from the people I called out] and I definitely have a date too. I’m telling you all this now and I’ll definitely be back sooner than you all think. That’s why you saw me playing politics in the gym.
“It’s political, but I’m really staying pointed. Don’t fuck up, I’m staying astute. There’s something coming.”
“I think I’m moving up [to 147lbs]. Yes, [for a championship fight]”
Haney seemed to be close to securing a unification fight with WBA champion Rolando Romero Lewis Crocker (IBF) postponed his match with Liam Paro due to injuryand Ryan Garcia (WBC) is looking elsewhere. It’s unclear where Davis fits.
