Keyshawn Davis challenges Devin Haney in a fight that has been talked about among spectators for a while now in boxing.
But the timing of it from Davis has come at a strange time.
He has the big Albright fight ahead of him first this weekend which is a rematch and not an easy fight for him.
Particularly if he is overlooking Albright already.
Why calling out Haney during Albright 2 fight week is jumping the gun
- He’s still at 140 while Haney fights at 147
- Albright already gave him a tough majority decision before the NC
- The first fight was overturned after a failed drug test
- There’s real bad blood with Albright’s camp from the Norfolk altercation
- This is Top Rank’s first DAZN card and Keyshawn’s hometown headline
- Haney negotiations have stalled — no deal is close
- Critics say he hasn’t earned it yet without cleaning out 140
- Weight issues are still fresh after his June cancelation
- Keyshawn said Top Rank made him take the Albright fight
- An upset loss kills the Haney fight completely
How big Davis vs Haney gets if he beats Albright
- Two American Olympic-level stars with fanbases
- Power vs technician — 71% KO rate vs elite jab
- The callout clips already went viral on DAZN
- Stephen A. Smith is pushing it as a “mega-fight”
- No weight excuse if Keyshawn moves to 147 after May 16
- Top Rank on DAZN + Haney’s Zuffa Boxing links = bigger money
- Norfolk homecoming builds his draw for a Vegas/NYC PPV
- Four straight stoppages would make him an obvious contender
- People are already split 50/50 on who wins
- It’s an instant WBO welterweight title fight with storyline
A fight with Devin Haney would take Keyshawn Davis moving up in weight to make happen as well.
First thing is first — that’s this weekend.
Apparently half the arena has not been sold out in Norfolk yet for the Keyshawn Davis fight this weekend.
In a time where boxing is doing great this is very rare and strange, not a big ticket seller clearly in his hometown of Norfolk in Virginia.
Expect fireworks at the fight week events this week accordingly from him to get the fight out there in Virginia.
Keyshawn Davis’ two brothers are also in action this weekend on the same card.
