“Keyshawn Davis is a generational talent, someone who is a huge representative of Norfolk and seven cities,” said Bob Arum, president of Bob Arum. “Keyshawn always asks for the most perilous opposition, and Edwin de Los Santos qualifies as such. He is a worthy pretender to silence another passionate, sold out crowd in the historic arena.”
Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KO) was already a pretender, which took place in July last year in July last year towards Miguel Madueño. He showed that he was one of the best ticket sellers in the city in November, when he faced the former world challenge of Argentina, Gustavo Lemos, in the largest boxing event in Norfolk since the deceased Pernell Whitaker fought McGiRT Buddha 30 years earlier. Despite the fact that Lemos is overweight over six pounds, Keyshawn knocked him out in the second round before a soldered crowd of 10,568. After coronation in Norfolk, Keyshawn won WBO ranking No. 1 and challenged Champion Denys Berinchyk on February 14 in Modern York. In the fourth round Berinchyk knocked out, winning his first world title four days before the 36th anniversary of Whitaker, winning the lithe IBF title over Greg Haugen in Hampton, Virginia. Whitaker made the inaugural defense of the title, rejecting Louie Lomeli to the Scope Arena. Keyshawn now has another opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Whitaker.
“Norfolk and seven cities are preparing for another spectacular program,” said Keyshawn. “My first main event at the Scope Arena was like something from the movie, and the continuation will be even better. Kelvin and Keon give the tone, and I will do it 3-0 evening for DB3. Edwin had a lot to say recently, but he will be terribly silent after I pass him on June 7, 7 June.”
De los Santos (16-2, 14 KO) had an extensive amateur career of about 265 matches before he twisted a professional in 2018. He had 13-0 with 12 knockouts during the fight in his homeland before the debut in America in January 2022. De los Santos lost his “0” with a divided loss of decisions with William Foster III, but closed this year with defeating because of the couple at the time of the then -unbeaten: Luis Acosse: Luis Acoses. and Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. De los Santos took the fight of Valenzuela in a low time and knocked out a weighty favorite in the third round of the fight against the fight. After a unilateral decision on Josephem Adorno in July 2023, he reached a shot against Shakur Stevenson in November for the empty title of WBC Lightweight World. In the most competitive career struggle Stevenson de Los Santos lost the unanimous decision of the results 116-112 2x and 115-113.
De los Santos said: “I want to thank Keyshawn Davis for giving me the opportunity to become a WBO master. Thank you to the best rank and my promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz. It will be a great fight, but Keyshawn made his first great mistake as a professional, choosing a forehead.
