NORFOLK — Davis Brothers’ Homecoming Turns Chaotic
The much-anticipated homecoming for the Davis brothers—Keyshawn, Kelvin, and Keon, collectively known as DB3—quickly descended into chaos.
Cancelled Match and Post-Fight Scuffle
Keyshawn Davis faced disappointment when his main-event boxing match was canceled due to missed weight requirements. Although the fight card at Scope proceeded, it was marred by an altercation involving Keyshawn and Keon following Kelvin’s first professional defeat.
Keon’s Knockout and Locker Room Incident
Keon, known as “The Juice Man,” kicked off the night impressively with a second-round knockout of Michael Velez-Garcia. However, tensions escalated later when Nahir Albright claimed that Keyshawn and Keon confronted him in the locker room after Albright won against Kelvin Davis by majority decision.
Albright’s Account and Immediate Aftermath
In an interview on ESPN, Albright alleged that the brothers confronted him aggressively, resulting in a headbutt that caused him to sustain a bump on his head. He attributed the confrontation to their frustration over Kelvin’s loss, labeling it poor sportsmanship.
Kelvin Davis’s Response
On social media, Kelvin issued an apology for their behavior, acknowledging that emotions were high and expressing a commitment to improve. He insisted, however, that they did not assault Albright as reported by the media.
Fight Night Dynamics and Outcomes
The night started positively with Keon’s victory, but quickly took a downturn. Kelvin faced Albright in a co-feature bout that was broadcast live on ESPN, where he suffered defeat, leaving him with his first professional loss.
Future Considerations and Fan Reactions
Videos of the locker room incident circulated widely on social media. Fans and analysts voiced calls for disciplinary action against the Davis brothers, while Albright mentioned he would consult his team regarding potential legal actions against them.
