Keyshawn Davis Wants Albright On Teofimo–Shakur Undercard

Keyshawn Davis said today on social media that “in a perfect world,” he would fight Nahir Albright in a rematch on the undercard of Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson on January 31, 2026, in New York.

Why He Keeps Bringing Up Albright

It’s unclear what’s bothering Keyshawn more – Albright (17-2, 7 KOs) coming close to defeating him in their fight on October 14, 2023, or his win over his brother, Kelvin Davis, last summer. It looks like Keyshawn is still stewing about what Albright did to him, arguably beating him, and then schooling his older brother, Kelvin. Albright staggered Keyshawn in the eighth and beat him to the punch all night.

Turki’s Card Isn’t a Charity Slot

The chances of Keyshawn fighting Albright on the undercard of the Lopez vs. Stevenson card are slim because Top Rank won’t be involved. Turki Alalshikh could obviously make it happen, but why would he for such an insignificant fight? For it to be a value-add for the Teofimo-Shakur card, Keyshawn would need to be fed to the sharks by fighting one of the top 140-pounders in a sink-or-swim type of fight.

If Turki is going to use the Top Rank-promoted Keyshawn for that card, he would want him to fight someone notable, like Subriel Matias, Gary Antuanne Russell, or Ernesto Mercado. Those are guys that might beat Keyshawn, especially with him coming off a near one-year layoff. Top Rank is unlikely to give the green light for Keyshawn.

They already got burned badly with heavyweight contender Jared Anderson getting knocked out in five rounds by Martin Bakole on Turki’s Riyadh Season card a year ago on August 3, 2024, at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

Keyshawn beat Albright by a 10-round majority decision in a fight that many fans felt should have gone the other way. The fight was later changed to a no-contest due to Keyshawn testing positive for marijuana. Nation Vegas had Albright winning 10 rounds to 0. He really made Keyshawn look bad in that fight, much like how Cuban Andy Cruz did in the amateurs.

Alright beat Kelvin Davis by a 10-round majority decision earlier this year on June 7, 2025, in their hometown of Norfolk, Virginia.

Albright dominated Kelvin in that fight, winning by scores of 97-93, 95-95, and 96-94. Afterwards, Keyshawn, 26, got in an altercation with Nahir backstage. Albright claimed that Keyshawn had headbutted him. 

Keyshawn hasn’t fought since being stripped of his WBO lightweight title when he came in 4.3 pounds overweight for his June 7, 2025, fight against Edwin De Los Santos in Norfolk, Virginia.
