Keyshawn Davis Heads Norfolk Workout Before Saturday Scope Card
keyshawn davis opened fight week in Norfolk with his brothers beside him, and the next stop is Scope on Saturday. He headlines the card against Nahir Albright after the three Davis brothers gathered Wednesday night for a workout at Norfolk Boxing Academy.
The card gives Norfolk three hometown names on one bill: Keyshawn against Albright, Kelvin Davis against Peter Dobson in a 10-round welterweight bout, and Keon Davis against Edwine Humaine Jr. Keyshawn said the family keeps returning to the city because the brothers train and fight better there.

“It's everything to us, just to train together, to fight together,” Keyshawn said Wednesday night. “We're DB3, we're the Davis brothers, so it's only right for us to just keep coming back to Norfolk every time we get a chance.”
He also said he likes working in front of local kids and being around the community in his hometown. That detail fits the shape of this week: the brothers started it together at a local gym, then moved into a card built around their names at Scope.
Keyshawn Davis and Nahir Albright
The headliner already has a history with Albright. Davis beat him by majority decision in October 2023, but the result was later changed to a no-contest after Davis tested positive for marijuana. This time, Davis said plainly what he expects.
“I'm going to stop him this time, I feel like fairly easy,” he said. “He's not on my level. I've fought tougher opponents than him and he's just another opponent that I stop. This is going to be the fourth person that I stop in a row that's never been stopped before, so just expect the unexpected.”
He enters Saturday as the former WBO lightweight champion with a 14-0 record and 10 KO, so the main event carries both a hometown angle and a reset against a familiar opponent. For readers heading to Scope, that makes the headliner the clearest measuring stick on the card: whether Davis can turn the earlier no-contest into a clean result in Norfolk.
Kelvin and Keon Davis
Kelvin Davis brings his own pressure into the building after losing to Albright last June at Scope for his first professional defeat. He said, “Last time didn't go our way all the way across the board,” then added, “It was like the devil was beating us down last time but now we're showing we're back and we're better. We're more mature and we're ready to go, so Saturday night you're going to see a whole improved DB3 as a whole.”
He also said, “I've got short term memory,” and, “What happened happened, but now we're onto bigger and better things. May 16 I'm going to be back in that win column.” Kelvin comes in at 15-1 with 8 KO, and his bout with Dobson gives him a chance to answer the loss that still sits on his record.
Keon Davis, meanwhile, is trying to keep his perfect run in Norfolk intact. He is 4-0 with 3 KO, has won twice at Scope, and is chasing three-for-three there against Edwine Humaine Jr. He said, “On paper, I don't have an advantage,” but added, “But every skill set is better than his that I've got. Everything he has, I'm better.”
The final public step before Saturday is the press conference at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Waterside Marriott. After that, the card shifts from gym work to fight night, with all three brothers trying to turn a hometown week into results in front of the same crowd that has watched them build this run.
