NORFOLK, VA (WAVY) — Friday, Nov. 8 will be a time stamp to remember for boxing in Hampton Roads, as the Davis brothers are coming home in a big way.
Keyshawn, Kelvin, and Keon Davis will all be fighting on the same card for the first time in their professional careers, as the trio will highlight a Scope Arena boxing card on TopRank ESPN. This is being labeled as the biggest boxing event Hampton Roads has seen since Pernell ‘Sweet Pea’ Whitaker retained his WBC Welterweight Championship against James McGirt in 1994.
Thursday, September 5 was the introductory press conference for the event, and each brother said they can’t wait to make that walk to the ring.
“That walkout is going to be crazy. I think it’s going to hype me up, like ‘Oh yeah, I’m ready to fight,’” Keyshawn said.
“I thought about it. I feel like I’m going to be nervous, but I’m nervous every fight. It’s going to be nothing for me to handle. I feel like I’m going to feed off the crowd. If I throw any type of punch, the crowd is going to go ‘ooohhh’ at anything, so any ooh or ahh I hear, I’m taking advantage of that,” Kelvin said.
