Two of the three fighting Davis brothers will perform on April 4 in their hometown of Norfolk, Virginia.
That’s according to the third fighting Davis – former lightweight titleholder and current junior welterweight contender Keyshawn Davis.
“DB3 brothers are throwing our first show under our own DB3 Promotions,” Keyshawn wrote on social media.
Kelvin Davis, 15-1 (8 KOs), will be in the main event at Chartway Arena, which has a capacity of about 9,500 people. Kelvin is a 29-year-old junior welterweight coming off his first defeat, a majority decision dropped to Nahir Albright this past June at Norfolk’s Scope Arena.
That show was supposed to be headlined by Keyshawn Davis defending against Edwin De Los Santos, but that bout was canceled when Keyshawn came in massively overweight. And after Kelvin lost to Albright, Keyshawn and Keon Davis allegedly “jumped” Albright backstage.
Keon Davis, 4-0 (3 KOs), will be in the co-feature on April 4. The 24-year-old welterweight also last fought on that June show in Norfolk. He scored a second-round knockout of the 3-0 Michael A. Velez-Garcia.
Kelvin’s and Keon’s opponents have not yet been announced.
Keyshawn, 14-0 (10 KOs), just made his debut at 140lbs, dominating Jamaine Ortiz and winning via 12th-round TKO on the January 31 undercard of Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson.
