Prepare to be entertained this Saturday night at The Firt Bend Epicenter in Rosenberg, Texas. Nahir Albright is gunning for his second win in a row against a U.S. Olympian as he goes toe-to-toe with Keyshawn Davis. The 10-round co-feature bout will be broadcast live on ESPN at 10:30 PM ET / 7:30 PT.
Philadelphia’s pride, Albright, with a backing by RDR Promotions, boasts a respectable 16-2 record, having sent seven of his opponents to the mat with a knockout. At 27, he’s fresh off a victory against ex-Olympian Carlos Balderas (14-1) as of July 28th in Las Vegas. Albright’s notches on his belt also include wins against contenders like Danny Murray (1-0), Glenford Nickey (4-1-1), Roy Collins (6-1), Dante Cox (6-1), Jeremy Hill (15-1), Michael Dutchover (15-1), and Estivan Falcao (11-0).
Meanwhile, 24-year-old Keyshawn Davis, hailing from Norfolk, Virginia, is no small fry either. After representing the Stars and Stripes at the 2021 Olympics, he’s been tagged as one of boxing’s hottest prospects. Undefeated at 9-0, six of his fights ended with his opponents on the canvas. Davis has rapidly climbed the boxing ladder with victories over fighters like Richman Ashelley (10-1), Esteban Sanchez (10-1), Omar Tineda (25-5), Juan Carlos Burgos (35-6-3) – a former world title challenger, another title challenger in Anthony Yigit (26-2), and most recently Francisco Patera (28-3) in a 10-round match in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
Before they trade punches, they weighed in: Albright tipped the scales at 134.9 lbs, while Davis was right at the lightweight limit of 135 lbs.
