Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KO) failed to make weight for the lightweight division during the official weigh-in held before the Top Rank boxing event in Norfolk. As a result, the American forfeited his WBO championship title.
His scheduled opponent, Edwin De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KO), successfully made the weight limit, but the bout will no longer take place. While attempts were made by both parties to negotiate new terms for the fight under these circumstances, no agreement could be reached. Reports indicate Davis was nearly 2 kilograms over the lightweight limit.
The new main event for the evening in Norfolk is now set to be a clash between Abdullah Mason and Jeremy Nakathila. Additionally, the undefeated Kelvin Davis is still scheduled to compete on the card against Nahir Olbright in his next professional appearance.
