Keyshawn vs De Los Santos
Scope Arena | Norfolk, Virginia

北京时间6月8日（本周日），世界拳坛有数场精彩的大战。首先在美国弗吉尼亚州诺福克斯科普体育场，现WBO轻量级拳王/奥运会银牌得主美国人基肖恩–戴维斯（13-0，9KO）将再次登台，迎战前拳王挑战者多米尼加共和国拳手德–洛斯–桑托斯（16-2，14K0），这也是戴维斯的首场世界拳王卫冕战。

26岁的“商人”基肖恩–戴维斯目前职业战绩13战全胜，9场比赛KO对手，现在BOXREC-135磅综合排名第5。戴维斯身高1米75，臂展1米78，是现役135磅四位世界拳王中身材最高大的，而且力量、技术和速度兼备，是一位可塑之才。戴维斯在2021年东京奥运会上还曾摘得了一枚63公斤级拳击银牌，在决赛中输给了古巴人安迪–克鲁兹（5-0，2KO）。

现在安迪–克鲁兹即将于6月15日对阵日本拳手三代大訓（17-1-1，6KO），这是一场IBF轻量级拳王资格淘汰赛。由于IBF-135磅正式拳王瓦西里–洛马琴科（18-3，12KO）可能会退役，所以IBF可能会仲IBF-135磅过渡拳王美国人雷蒙德–穆拉塔拉（23-0，17KO）和安迪–克鲁兹争夺空缺，但前提是安迪–克鲁兹要拿下胜利。

25岁的埃德温–德–洛斯–桑托斯职业战绩16胜2负，14场比赛KO对手。桑托斯身高1米73，臂展1米78，上一战还是在2023年11月点数输给了现WBC轻量级拳王沙克–史蒂文森（23-0，11KO）。那场比赛史蒂文森赢的并不强势，有些畏惧桑托斯的重拳，一直在跑，赛后被诟病，足见桑托斯是有相当力量、硬度的。

在之前的垫赛中，21岁的美国轻量级新秀阿卜杜拉–马森（18-0，16KO）将对对阵纳米比亚拳手杰雷米亚–纳卡西拉（26-4，21KO），这是一场预定为10个回合的轻量级比赛。阿卜杜拉–马森身高1米75，臂展1米88，左势打法，18场职业比赛打了54个回合，平均每场3回合KO对手。

现在135磅群星云集，除了四位现役拳王格沃塔–戴维斯（30-0-1，28KO）、沙克–史蒂文森（23-0，11KO）、瓦西里–洛马琴科（18-3，12KO）、基肖恩–戴维斯（13-0，9KO）外，还有一批不败新秀，包括墨西哥新秀威廉–塞佩达（33-0，27KO）、英国新秀山姆–诺克斯（17-0，15KO）、古巴奥运会冠军安迪–克鲁兹（5-0，2KO）、美国新秀阿卜杜拉–马森（18-0，16KO）、古巴新秀加迪尔–赫雷拉（17-0，15KO）、美国新秀弗洛伊德–斯科菲尔德（18-0，12KO）等，是目前拳坛竞争最激烈的一个级别。

About

NORFOLK, Va. (April 17, 2025) — Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis has his scope set on a successful title defense.

Davis will defend his WBO lightweight crown in a homecoming spectacle against Dominican knockout artist Edwin De Los Santos on Saturday, June 7, at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.

[s title=”Learn More……”][p]In the 10-round lightweight co-feature, Cleveland’s Abdullah Mason faces the most recognizable name of his career in upset-minded Namibian puncher Jeremia Nakathila.

Undercard action includes Keyshawn’s older brother, Kelvin Davis (15-0, 8 KOs), in a 10-rounder at junior welterweight, while his younger brother, Keon Davis (2-0, 1 KO), sees action in a six-rounder at welterweight. Together, the Davis Brothers are known as DB3.

Middleweight contender Troy Isley (14-0, 5 KOs), Keyshawn’s Olympic teammate and a native of Alexandria, Virginia, hopes to continue his world title march in a 10-rounder against an opponent to be named.

“Keyshawn Davis is a generational talent, someone who is a tremendous representative for Norfolk and the Seven Cities,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “Keyshawn is always asking for the most dangerous opposition, and Edwin De Los Santos qualifies as such. He’s a worthy contender intent on silencing another passionate, sold-out crowd at the historic Scope Arena.”

Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KOs) was already a contender coming off last July’s one-sided decision over Miguel Madueño. He showed he was one of the sport’s top hometown ticket-sellers that November when he faced Argentina’s former No. 1 world-rated contender, Gustavo Lemos, in Norfolk’s biggest boxing event since the late Pernell Whitaker fought Buddy McGirt 30 years prior. Despite Lemos being more than six pounds overweight, Keyshawn knocked him out in the second round in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,568. Following the Norfolk coronation, Keyshawn earned the WBO No. 1 ranking and challenged then-champion Denys Berinchyk on Feb. 14 in New York City. He knocked out Berinchyk in the fourth round, capturing his first world title four days before the 36th anniversary of Whitaker winning the IBF lightweight title over Greg Haugen in Hampton, Virginia. Whitaker made his inaugural title defense by knocking out Louie Lomeli at Scope Arena. Keyshawn now has another opportunity to follow in Whitaker’s footsteps. 

“Norfolk and the Seven Cities, get ready for another spectacular show,” Keyshawn said. “My first main event at Scope Arena was like something out of a movie, and the sequel will be even better. Kelvin and Keon will set the tone, and I’ll make it a 3-0 evening for DB3. Edwin has had a lot to say recently, but he will be awfully quiet after I get through with him on June 7.”

De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KOs) had an extensive amateur career of roughly 265 bouts before turning pro in 2018. He was 13-0 with 12 knockouts while fighting in his homeland before making his American debut in January 2022. De Los Santos lost his ‘0’ with a split decision loss to William Foster III, but he closed that year with knockout victories over a pair of then-unbeaten contenders: Luis Acosta and Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela. De Los Santos took the Valenzuela fight on short notice and knocked out the heavy favorite in round three of a Fight of the Year contender. After a one-sided decision over Joseph Adorno in July 2023, he earned a shot against Shakur Stevenson that November for the vacant WBC lightweight world title. In the most competitive fight of Stevenson’s career, De Los Santos lost a unanimous decision by scores of 116-112 2x and 115-113. 

De Los Santos said, “I want to thank Keyshawn Davis for giving me the opportunity to become the WBO champion. Thank you to Top Rank and my promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, as well. It will be a great fight, but Keyshawn has made his first big mistake as a professional by choosing to face me. I will prove how big of a mistake it is on June 7.  I will come to Norfolk in perfect shape and looking for a knockout.”

Mason (18-0, 16 KOs) is now a world-ranked contender following a pair of one-sided knockouts to begin his 2025 campaign. He shined on the Berinchyk-Keyshawn undercard, stopping the usually durable Manuel Jaimes in four rounds. Mason produced a show-stopping sixth-round TKO over Carlos Ornelas on April 5 in Las Vegas. Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs) made his American debut in June 2021, losing a 12-round decision to Shakur Stevenson for an interim junior lightweight world title. Nine months later, he forced former world champion Miguel Berchelt to retire on his stool following round six. Following two defeats in 2023, Nakathila returned to winning ways in 2024, going 3-0 with two knockouts in Namibia.
