As revealed last week, Tokyosilver medalist Keyshawn Davis will defend his WBO lightweight title against Edwin De Los Santos on June 7th at Norfolk, Virginia’s Scope Arena.
“Norfolk and the Seven Cities, get ready for another spectacular show,” Keyshawn said. “My first main event at Scope Arena was like something out of a movie, and the sequel will be even better. Kelvin and Keon will set the tone, and I’ll make it a 3-0 evening for DB3. Edwin has had a lot to say recently, but he will be awfully quiet after I get through with him on June 7.”
De Los Santos said, “I want to thank Keyshawn Davis for giving me the opportunity to become the WBO champion. Thank you to Top Rank and my promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, as well. It will be a great fight, but Keyshawn has made his first big mistake as a professional by choosing to face me. I will prove how big of a mistake it is on June 7. I will come to Norfolk in perfect shape and looking for a knockout.”
The two-fight broadcast opens with 21-year-old prospect Abdullah Mason (18-0, 16 KO) battling Jeremia Nakathila (26-4, 21 KO) in his third fight of 2025. Nakathila is reasonably dangerous, but got trounced in steps up against Shakur Stevenson, Raymond Muratalla, and “Tito” Mercado, while his career-best knockout of Miguel Berchelt has aged poorly.
Kelvin Davis, Troy Isley, and Keon Davis populate the undercard.
