Keyshawn expressed to InsideRingShow, “I genuinely desire a significant match to truly ignite my motivation, compelling me to undergo an intense two-month training camp. I seek an encounter where everything is on the line, one that spectators perceive as an evenly balanced contest. I am completely prepared for such a challenge. I welcome immense pressure. I am prepared for a major, high-profile fight. My readiness for that is absolute, and so, Devin Haney, we are pursuing it.”
Davis stated, “I instructed my team to make contact with Brian Norman. Subsequently, on the very next day, I was designated as the mandatory challenger for Haney. Regardless, I am willing to face Brian.”
Brian Norman, whose professional record stands at twenty-nine victories against one defeat, with twenty-three of those wins by knockout, marked his return to winning form just last month. He achieved a second-round stoppage victory over Josh Wagner, a bout featured on the undercard of Davis’ triumph against Albright held at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. This athlete, a twenty-five-year-old hailing from Conyers, Georgia, had earlier on November 22 experienced a unanimous decision loss to Haney in Saudi Arabia.
Davis, boasting an unblemished professional record of fifteen wins and no losses, including ten knockouts, and a recipient of a 2021 Olympic silver medal, has not yet participated in a professional contest at the full welterweight division limit. Nevertheless, subsequent to his win over Albright in a fight conducted at the 140-pound mark, he communicated to the World Boxing Organization his objective to ascend to the 147-pound category, aiming to secure a world championship opportunity.
