The Davis brothers are back in Norfolk, Virginia, for fight week, and it's a big deal. The trio, known as DB3, is set to take on Nahir Albright, Peter Dobson, and Edwine Humaine Jr. in a highly anticipated card at Scope Saturday night. This isn't their first time in Norfolk, but it's always special, as they train and fight together.
Keyshawn Davis, the former WBO lightweight champion, headlines the event, aiming to pick up a knockout over Albright. It's a rematch of sorts, as their previous encounter ended in a no-contest due to a positive marijuana test for Davis. Keyshawn is confident, stating, 'I'm going to stop him this time. He's not on my level.'
Kelvin Davis, the eldest brother, is also looking to bounce back from his first professional loss to Albright. He's been training hard and is determined to turn the page, saying, 'I've got short-term memory. What happened happened, but now we're onto bigger and better things.'
Keon Davis, the youngest, is on a winning streak and is looking to make it three wins in a row at Scope. He's confident in his skills, stating, 'Every skill set is better than his that I've got.'
The brothers' return to Norfolk is a significant event for the community. Keyshawn expressed his love for the area, saying, 'I like coming around my community, shaking hands, and talking to people. I honestly like doing that in my hometown.'
The fight week festivities began Wednesday with a workout at the Norfolk Boxing Academy, followed by a press conference and weigh-in on Thursday and Friday. The main event is set for Saturday night, with the brothers hoping to treat the hometown crowd to a trio of knockouts.
This fight week is a testament to the Davis brothers' dedication to their craft and their community. It's a reminder that boxing is not just about the fights but also about the people and the places that make it all possible. As the brothers step into the ring, they are not just fighting for themselves but for the entire DB3 family and the city of Norfolk.
