June 7: Kelvin Davis-Nahir Albright Junior Welterweight Rumble Added to Loaded Keyshawn Davis-Edwin De Los Santos Card at Norfolk’s Scope Arena PhilBoxing.com Thu, 01 May 2025  Tickets are ON SALE NOW via Ticketmaster.com June 7: Kelvin Davis-Nahir Albright Junior Welterweight Rumble Added to Loaded Keyshawn Davis-Edwin De Los Santos Card at Norfolk’s Scope Arena Tickets are ON SALE NOW via Ticketmaster.com NORFOLK, Va. (April 30, 2025) — Kelvin “Nite Nite” Davis looks for a measure of family retribution when he fights crafty contender Nahir “Woo” Albright in a 10-round junior welterweight bout on Saturday, June 7, in front of his hometown fans at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Davis-Albright paces the undercard on a bill headlined by Kelvin’s younger brother, Keyshawn Davis, defending his WBO lightweight world title against Edwin De Los Santos. Keyshawn fought Albright in October 2023 in Rosenberg, Texas, initially winning a majority decision before a positive post-fight marijuana test overturned the verdict to a no-contest. Keyshawn-De Los Santos and the lightweight co-feature between Abdullah Mason and Jeremia Nakathila will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Davis-Albright and additional undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+. “Albright is a good opponent for this point in my career, but he can’t hang with us,” Davis said. “He thinks he accomplished something with Keyshawn by taking him 10 rounds, but I’m here to show him he can't play with the Davis name.” Davis (15-0, 8 KOs), a 6-foot-1 southpaw, turned pro in December 2020 and signed with Top Rank the following year. He went 3-0 last year, warming up the capacity crowd at Scope Arena in November when he knocked down Yeis Solano in the eighth round of a unanimous decision victory. Davis kept busy in March with a fourth-round KO over 33-fight veteran Jose Marruffo. Albright (16-2, 7 KOs) has never been stopped as a pro and holds a July 2023 victory over 2016 U.S. Olympian Karlos Balderas. Less than three months after besting Balderas, he gave Keyshawn the most challenging fight of his pro career. In other ESPN+-streamed undercard action: • Dominican middleweight knockout artist Euri Cedeno (11-0-1, 10 KOs) aims to extend his KO streak to five when he faces Ecuador’s Abel Mina (18-3-1, 9 KOs) in a 10-rounder. Cedeno represented his homeland at the Tokyo Olympics and already has six first-round knockouts on his ledger. • Cleveland-born welterweight Tiger Johnson (15-0, 7 KOs) returns in a 10-rounder against an opponent to be named. Johnson was a highly decorated amateur who turned pro in November 2021 after representing Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics. • Middleweight contender Troy Isley (14-0, 5 KOs) will face Etoundi Michel William (16-1, 12 KOs) in a 10-rounder. Isley hails from Alexandria, Virginia, and hopes a win over William in front of the home state fans propels him to a world title shot later this year.
