What was supposed to be a celebratory homecoming for Keyshawn Davis and his brothers turned into a nightmarish weekend at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. The event, marred by controversy, reached its peak when Keyshawn and his brother Keon were involved in a backstage altercation with Nahir Albright following Albright's upset victory over their eldest brother, Kelvin.

The Incident

The altercation, captured on video, was the culmination of a series of unfortunate events for the Davis brothers. Keyshawn missed weight, was stripped of his WBO lightweight title, and had his main event fight with Edwin De Los Santos canceled. Earlier in the night, Keon managed to secure a knockout win, but Kelvin's loss to Albright set the stage for the ensuing chaos.

Albright's Account

In an interview with ESPN's Mark Kriegel, Albright alleged that he was "jumped" by Keyshawn and Keon backstage. He described the encounter as intense, stating that Keyshawn head-butted him. Albright was noticeably marked up with swelling over his right eye, which wasn't visible immediately after his victory.

"They started walking up to me all tough, putting his head against mine, and then grabbed me," Albright told Kriegel. "Then I was about to swing, but my team and everybody, they grabbed Keyshawn and everything, and it was crazy."

Legal Implications

Albright mentioned that he would decide with his team whether to pursue legal action for the altercation. The Davis brothers declined to comment when approached by Kriegel.

Historical Context

This incident adds another chapter to the ongoing rivalry between Albright and Keyshawn Davis. Keyshawn had previously defeated Albright by unanimous decision in 2023, but the decision was overturned to a no-contest when Keyshawn tested positive for marijuana.

"It's definitely unfortunate, but it added fuel to the flame," Albright told Kriegel. "Keyshawn, you gotta run it back with me -- in the ring, not outside of the ring."

Conclusion

The chaotic events of the night have left the boxing community buzzing. With potential legal action on the horizon and a heated rivalry reignited, the focus now shifts to whether these two fighters will settle their differences in the ring.
