Keyshawn Davis is focused on landing a bout against Teofimo Lopez later this year. Ahead of that potential clash, Davis is scheduled to take on Miguel Madueño in a 10-round fight on July 6th, part of the undercard for Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunyan at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Despite being a lightweight contender, 25-year-old Keyshawn has the physicality to compete at 140 pounds. His size and rehydration give him the look of a larger fighter. His recent performance against Nahir Albright hinted at his capabilities in the lightweight division.
A move to 140 pounds poses a challenge for Davis, especially if he needs to contend for an interim title against a tough adversary to earn a shot at Teofimo Lopez’s WBO light welterweight title.
In a recent discussion with Teofimo Lopez, it was communicated to Keyshawn that he must secure an interim title in the 140-pound division to position himself for a potential showdown with Lopez. Eager to meet this condition, Davis is keen on facing Lopez and sees him as the ideal opponent.
With Teofimo awaiting an opponent for his next fight post his recent triumph, the potential matchup between Keyshawn Davis and Lopez hangs in the balance but is eagerly awaited by both fighters.
