Keyshawn Davis in Backstage Brawl After Brother’s Shock Loss in Norfolk

In a shocking turn of events at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, professional boxer Keyshawn Davis found himself in the middle of a heated backstage brawl following his brother Kelvin’s unexpected loss to Nahir Albright on Saturday night. What was supposed to be a triumphant homecoming for the Davis family—hailing from the area and including junior welterweight Kelvin and welterweight Keon—quickly spiraled into chaos.

The co-main event saw Kelvin upset by Albright, and tensions boiled over backstage. Both Keyshawn and Keon reportedly confronted Albright, leading to a skirmish that was captured on video. Albright emerged with visible facial injuries, not present during the ring fight, and later claimed he was 'jumped' by the Davis brothers. In a statement to reporters, he described a tense encounter where words turned physical before his team intervened.

Albright has yet to decide on pressing legal charges, while Kelvin took to social media on Sunday to issue an apology on behalf of the family. He acknowledged the high emotions but firmly denied any 'jumping' took place, promising a more professional return in the future.

Adding layers to the drama, Keyshawn and Albright have history—a 2023 fight where Keyshawn’s unanimous decision win was overturned to a no-contest due to a positive marijuana test. Keyshawn’s weekend was already sour; despite being in his hometown, he missed weight and was stripped of his WBO lightweight title, with his main event bout against Edwin De Los Santos canceled.

This incident casts a shadow over what should have been a celebratory night for the Davis family, raising questions about sportsmanship and the intense emotions that fuel the fight game. As the dust settles, all eyes are on how this altercation will impact the brothers’ careers and their rivalry with Albright.
