The highest ranking needs another option of the first defense of Keyshawn Davis of his airy title WBO on June 7 in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. Their original goal, Edwin de Los Santos, rejected the offer.
It is not clear whether the highest rank will escalate the financial offer for De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO), or whether he will go towards another opponent. It is said that the offer is USD 200,000.
Search for an enemy
Keyshawn talked about the desire to fight Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz next after capturing WBO 135-lb on February 14 against Denys Berinchyk. Since then, he was still about the fight against Pitbull, which means that the popular Mexican warrior was not interested.
The best rank can always be brought by #1 WBO Raymond Muratalla or No. 1 WBC Andy Cruz to fight Keyshawn on June 7, but it is unlikely that they will do it. They try to best transform Keyshawn into a star, and matching him to Andy Cruz or Muratalli can ruin their goals.
Keyshawn is a good warrior, but he was wounded by weaker fighters than Muratalla, and has already lost four times four times against Cruz in amateurs. Opening does not want to fight the Cuban Golden Olympic medalist 2020 Cruz. The highest rank does not want him to lose him. Davis is carefully matched by them.
De los Santos has not fought for two years since his defeat with Shakur Stevenson on November 16, 2023, it is understandable why he would hesitate to accept less than what he thinks is worth getting to a warrior such as Keyshawn, who looks huge for airy, and would fight in his home.
Leaving a long two-year release, fighting what is basically a welterweight, and having a huge crowd of pro-Davis would put de los Santos in an almost impossible situation. You can’t blame him for rejecting the offer submitted to him. He would hurt his delay if he lost to Keyshawn. Fans would not care that he was fighting a much larger guy in his hometown who comes out of his two -year release.
In Davis’ fight on November 8 last year against Gustavo Lemos on the range of scope in Norfolk attracted a crowd of 10,000. Keyshawn must earn good money from this gate.
Needed plan B.
Tevin Farmer It would be a good option for Keyshawn to fight on June 7, but it can be a bit too challenging because it can hit. Shots that the farmer hit William Zepeda in their rematch would be threatening to Keyshawn.
“The highest rank is looking for a recent rival for Keyshawn Davis on June 7 in Norfolk, Virginia, after Edwin de Los Santos, with whom they already had a verbal agreement, he refused the last economic offer,” said Salvador Rodriguez on the day X.
