Jamaine Ortiz Aims to Derail Keyshawn Davis’ Undefeated Streak at Madison Square Garden PhilBoxing.com Wed, 14 Jan 2026  WORCESTER, MA (January 12, 2026) — Super lightweight contender Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (20-2-1, 10 KOs) is ready to prove he belongs among boxing’s elite as he prepares to take on the undefeated Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) in one of the most anticipated matchups of the year. The 12-round bout is set for January 31, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, on the undercard of “The Ring 6” — headlined by the Ring Magazine 12-round world title clash between Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson. The event will be televised live on DAZN. Ortiz, who hails from Worcester, Massachusetts, and is co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and CES Boxing, enters the fight ranked in the top 15 across all four major sanctioning bodies. Known for his slick movement, high boxing IQ, and relentless conditioning, Ortiz sees this fight as more than just another test—it’s a pivotal moment in his campaign toward another world title shot. When the matchup with Davis was first proposed, Ortiz didn’t hesitate. “The moment this fight was offered, I said yes,” Ortiz stated. “I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and I’m not about to start now. I respect what Keyshawn has accomplished, but this is the kind of fight I’ve been waiting for, an opportunity to showcase everything I bring to the table against a top undefeated contender.” Davis, a 2020 Olympic silver medalist, will be making his 140-pound debut against the more seasoned Ortiz, who has consistently fought world-class opposition. While many are intrigued to see how Davis handles the jump in weight, Ortiz is focused on delivering a statement performance. “Fans can expect a sharp, confident, and aggressive Jamaine Ortiz on fight night,” he said. “I’ve learned from every fight and made the necessary adjustments. I’m coming into this with experience, hunger, and a game plan that’s built to win. Davis is stepping into my weight class, and he’ll find out quickly that it’s a different world at 140.” Boxlab Promotions President Amaury Piedra expressed full confidence in Ortiz’s preparation, mindset, and skillset, stating that he believes Ortiz has everything it takes to hand Davis his first professional loss. “Jamaine has all the tools, speed, footwork, conditioning, and the intelligence to adapt in the ring,” said Piedra. “He’s fought at the world class level on multiple occasions, and he's battle-tested. Keyshawn is a talented fighter, no doubt, but we believe Jamaine’s experience and hunger will be the difference. This is his moment, and he’s ready to take it.” Ortiz has made it clear that this fight is part of a bigger mission…to become a world champion in the super lightweight division. “This is what I’ve worked for, to fight the best and earn my shot at a world title,” Ortiz concluded. “A win on January 31 puts me in position to challenge for a belt, and I’m not leaving Madison Square Garden without making that statement. I’m here to prove I belong at the top.” As anticipation builds for “The Ring 6”, Ortiz vs. Davis stands out as a can’t-miss battle between two of the most compelling fighters in the division, one a polished Olympian looking to advance his career, the other a determined contender ready to seize his moment.  |
