Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis is closing in on a world title shot, but first, he must defend his home turf. The lightweight contender and U.S. Olympic silver medalist will face Argentina-born puncher Gustavo Lemos in the 10-round main event on Friday, Nov. 8, at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
In the world championship co-feature, WBO welterweight king Brian Norman Jr. will defend his crown against Puerto Rican puncher Derrieck Cuevas.
The undercard will feature the other members of “DB3.” Keyshawn’s older brother, rising junior welterweight Kelvin “Night Night” Davis (13-0, 7 KOs), fights Yeis Solano (15-3, 10 KOs) in an eight-rounder. Keyshawn’s younger brother, U.S. Olympic Trials champion Keon Davis, will make his pro debut in a four-round welterweight contest.
The entire Davis-Lemos card will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.
Good test for Davis.
Lemos will provide a solid challenge to Davis. I want to see how Davis handles Lemos’ pressure and good punch volume.
His last fight was great for his development. He’s being active and stepping up in competition. Davis should go a long way!
Want to see lemos knock him on his assets.
– Saw Kelvin “Night Night” Davis live on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson / Artem Harutyunyan in July at the Prudential Center.
– Fair to say that the crowd was not impressed.
– Jury is still out regarding Kelvin Davis…..
What happened to that buildup for a fight with Kid
Austin? Wasn’t that supposed to happen? Keyshawn, Floyd, Abdullah going to keep things
interesting at 135. We will see what the pecking order looks like real soon. I didn’t forget Shakur.
135 has super fights on the way in 2025-26-27.
Zepeda, too. Can’t forget him. I think Tank is at 140
sooner than most think. Also, Curmel Moton closing in on the pack real soon.
I like the was Davis’ career is being handled. No need to rush to a title. Pick up a few more tricks and wait until you see just about everything at the pro level. This should be a good 10 rounder and a check on the fuel tank if it goes all 10.
Sad to witness this era of the great weight class the welterweights once were..
