Top Rankâs first full card on DAZN will see Keyshawn Davis back to try and settle whatever score there is to be settled with Nahir Albright in a 12-round super lightweight main event from Norfolk, Virginia.
Keyshawn (14-0, 10 KO) and Albright (17-2-1, 7 KO) have plenty of history. The two fought in 2023, with Davis nicking a close decision, which was later changed to a no-contest after Keyshawn tested positive for marijuana. Last year, the two met again, though not in the ring. After Albright beat Keyshawnâs older brother, Kelvin, on a fight card where Keyshawn had to withdraw and give up a lightweight title due to missing weight, there was a backstage altercation.
Albright says he was attacked by Keyshawn and others, Keyshawn says it never got physical but has admitted his actions were wrong. Whatever the story, and however professionally the two are approaching this rematch, there is certainly bad blood with Nahir Albright and the Davis family.
Bad Left Hook will have LIVE results, updates, and reactions starting from 8:00 pm ET on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
Keyshawn, 27, turned pro in 2021 after an amateur career that really would have seen him win the United Statesâ first menâs boxing gold medal since Andre Ward in 2004, but for the existence of Cubaâs Andy Cruz, who flat-out had Davisâ number in the amateur ranks.
But Davis was a terrific amateur and has mostly translated that nicely to the pro ranks, dominating a fair amount of solid pros, though there was a clear exception in October 2023, when he faced Albright. Whatever the issue that night, Albright gave Davis a very tough fight, with Keyshawn escaping via majority decision, for the time being. The overturning of the result is the official thing, but whatever else you can make of it, Albright gave Davis the sort of tough looks that any rising star is eventually going to face.
The rematch is scheduled for May 16, 2026, in Norfolk, Virginia.
In their first fight in 2023, Keyshawn Davis won by a close decision, which was later changed to a no-contest due to his positive marijuana test.
Keyshawn Davis has a record of 14 wins, 0 losses, and 10 KOs, while Nahir Albright has 17 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw with 7 KOs.
The altercation occurred after Albright defeated Keyshawn's older brother, Kelvin, on a fight card where Keyshawn had to withdraw due to missing weight.

The question coming out, at first, was how Keyshawn would handle being made to look a good bit less than spectacular. He got back to work, easily beating Jose Pedraza, Miguel Madueno, and Gustavo Lemos in 2024, before taking at Denys Berinchyk and the WBO lightweight title in 2025. Davis had probably his best showing yet in that one, trouncing Berinchyk inside of four rounds.
But then the out-of-ring issues struck again. Davis missed weight for a scheduled title defense in June 2025, vacating his title and not even getting to fight. Then came the dust-up with the Albright camp backstage. Davis voluntarily took time away from boxing, and has returned as a 140 lb fighter, saying heâs more focused, matured, and has put his problems in the rearview. He looked pretty damn sharp in January, dominating Jamaine Ortiz and scoring a 12th round stoppage, seemingly flipping a switch and deciding to end what had been a one-sided fight before it could reach the final bell.
Albright, 30, hasnât had the sort of path his opponent has had. The Philadelphia native turned pro in 2016 on a Lou DiBella card in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and he lost a four-rounder to also-debuting Anthony Laureano. But while he doesnât appear likely to join the likes of Bernard Hopkins or Juan Manuel Marquez as fighters who lost their pro debuts and became P4P greats and Hall of Famers, Albright stuck to it and has turned into a good pro.
Davis has had the hype machine on him since he turned pro. He was quite bold to sort of âauditionâ for both Matchroom and Top Rank to see what both major companies would offer him, before settling on Top Rank, and getting two of his brothers signed in the process. He knew both companies and more would want to sign him, so he had that leverage even early on, and he used it.
Albright has never had that path. Keyshawnâs first five fights were at Miamiâs Hard Rock Stadium, Caesars Palace Dubai, AT&T Stadium in Texas, Madison Square Garden, and the MGM Grand in Vegas. Albright had to grind through places like the Claridge Hotel & Casino and the Showboat in Atlantic City, Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA, and the Pennsbury Racquet Club in Morrisville, PA. By the time he made it to Vegas, he was 27, a 17-fight professional, and at the Palms, where he upset Karlos Balderas.
His only loss â officially â since that pro debut came to Jamaine Ortiz in 2022. His wins over Jeremy Hill and Michael Dutchover kind of put him on the map, he hung around with Ortiz in defeat, then beat Estivan Falcao and Balders in 2022-23 before that fight with Keyshawn. His win over Kelvin Davis last year was no real surprise; Kelvin is a low-ceiling pro, decent but doesnât have the tools of a real contender.
Albrightâs most recent fight might have been his best outing yet. He went to a draw with former lightweight titleholder Frank Martin on February 21 in Vegas, and he could easily have gotten the nod in that one, though the draw (and it was a true draw, 95-95 on all cards) was entirely fair.
Heâll have to be even better than he was that night to win on Saturday.
As we said earlier this week, Keyshawn is a serious talent when heâs serious about his talent. He has sincere pound-for-pound list type ability in there, heâs well-schooled, heâs smart, and he can be dominant.
Was the first fight with Albright sort of a blip? He won that fight, other than it being over-turned, but it was a tough night. Was Davis distracted out of the ring? Did, in fact, the marijuana he failed the test for impact if not enhance his performance? Was it just an off-night? Had he not taken Albright as seriously as he should have?
If the latter, that would not make Keyshawn a rarity. Boxers like Davis, with that sort of hype, that sort of early success, that sort of amateur background, will always run into someone who gives them problems they didnât expect. However the result turns out, itâs about how they respond, change, and whether or not they get better going forward. Keyshawn was looking sharp before his further issues last year. He came back looking sharp this year.
Albrightâs a good fighter. Heâs tough, heâs cagey, he makes the most of his physical abilities. Itâs possible he simply has a read on Keyshawn Davis and is a rough style matchup for him. A lot of great fighters over the years have come across those type of opponents, where seemingly they have the clear edge, but it just doesnât really play out that way when the bell rings. âStyles make fightsâ is such a standard saying for a reason. Itâs true.
I get the feeling Keyshawn will shine on Saturday, though. Whatever emotion he has about this rematch seems to be held in check this week. If heâs focused, if heâs really studied up and prepared for this one, heâll win it in a rout and probably stop Albright, who is tough, but Keyshawn has special gears he can get to that Albright just canât. Albrightâs chances lie in the hope that his style will just always give Davis fits, and maybe, too, that if Davis fights a little too emotionally, heâll make mistakes and Nahir can make him pay for them.
