Keishavn Davis is producing drama with the Shakur Stevenson Face-Off

Keyshawn Davis took to Instagram today to post a picture of himself taking on his best friend Shakur Stevenson, asking fans if it’s a fight they want to see. WBC lightweight champion Shakur already said this week that he will “never” fight Keyshawn with no money.

The Photo Op

In the bout, Keyshawn looked like a HUGE welterweight standing next to a normal sized lightweight, Stevenson. I don’t know how Davis can make 135, how big he is, but I understand why he chooses to fight at this weight class. It’s easy to pick, given his sheer size at light heavyweight.

Kishon (12-0, 8 KOs) is just using false advertising to get people talking about him. He will fight next month against WBO lightweight champion Denis Berinchik on February 14 at the Hula Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. The event will be shown live on ESPN+. There is no fuss about Davis fighting Berinchik because the fans don’t care. Keyshawn chose the weakest link to fight for the world title instead of showing courage and going after the other champions.

A fight that won’t happen

It’s a shame that Keyshawn and Shakur won’t be fighting because that means there will be an undisputed lightweight champion as the two share the same division and refuse to mix it up. That’s assuming Kyshawn can win the WBO title against Berinchik, because if he loses that fight against the weakest link, he’ll never win a world title at 135. Kyshawn already looks huge for a lightweight, like a true welterweight.

I can understand his hustle, giving up on fighting smaller guys at 135 instead of fighting where he should be at 147 against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Keyshawn wouldn’t stand a chance against Boots, and probably none of the other light heavyweight belt holders either. He is like a fish that can only exist in certain waters. Take a fish out of its habitat, and it cannot exist. That’s Keyshavn to a T.

“This is what you all want?” Keyshawn Davis said on Instagram about the feud between him and his friend Shakur Stevenson.

Berinchik’s challenge

“I didn’t get love on Valentine’s Day.” I go there and get knocked out. Berinchik, you are one hell of a fighter,” Keyshawn Davis said on his YouTube channel, talking about his fight next month on February 14th on ESPN+ against WBO lightweight champion Denis Berinchik.

“I’m knocking him out.” You know what I do. It will be a big win. “Businessman.” Shout out to Berinchik for giving me a chance, right? He gave me an opportunity, the face of big checks. We will all leave happy. It’s going down to MSG at the Hula Theater on February 14th,” Davis said.
