Keyshawn Davis says he still doesn’t know why a fight with Devin Haney never happened after conversations earlier this yr between the 2 camps.
Davis talked about Haney after dominating Nahir Albright over 12 rounds of their rematch on Saturday night in Norfolk. Although Keyshawn was victorious over Albright with a large, unanimous decision, he admitted afterward that he had been pursuing larger fights before the rematch was finalized.
“January, I walked as much as Bill, and he told me to face on my word after the fight,” Keyshawn said to the media afterward. “Why that didn’t occur, I don’t know.”
Davis also revealed that he attempted to secure fights against Lamont Roach Jr. and Oscar Duarte before returning against Albright.
“I used to be on the phone with Lamont Roach attempting to make it occur,” Davis said. “I also was attempting to get involved with Oscar Duarte.”
The Norfolk native made clear after the fight that he viewed the Albright rematch as a lesser option in comparison with the opponents he originally wanted.
“I desired to fight a greater opponent,” Davis said. “He’s actually an honest fighter. He’s just not on that top level.”
Davis dominated many of the rematch despite a two-point deduction after slamming Albright to the canvas during a clinch within the seventh round. He controlled the motion with faster hands, cleaner mixtures, and stronger work late within the fight.
After the victory, Davis again repeated that he’s open to facing larger names next.
“Whoever is willing to fight the businessman, let’s make it occur,” Davis said.
