Keyshawn Davis Leads Norfolk Homecoming Rematch With Nahir Albright

The bout serves as a public reset for the local star after a drug suspension, a lost title at the scale, and a locker-room dispute clouded his rise.

Overview

  • Fight week events in Norfolk feature the DB3 card at Scope Arena with Keyshawn headlining a rematch against Nahir Albright and his brothers Kelvin and Keon also set to compete.
  • At the final press events, Davis rejected the “unfinished business” label and said the matchup is not personal, adding that Top Rank pushed for the Albright rematch.
  • The rivalry traces to October 2023, when Davis’s majority-decision win over Albright was overturned to a no-contest after he tested positive for marijuana and served a 90‑day suspension.
  • The stakes grew in 2025 when Davis lost his lightweight title on the scales before a planned hometown defense, and later that night Albright accused Keyshawn and Keon of attacking him in his locker room as police escorted Keyshawn out.
  • Kelvin faces Peter Dobson and Keon meets Edwine Humaine Jr., with the brothers stressing a clean night at home to reconnect with local fans and close this chapter.
