Keyshawn Davis To Defend WBO Lightweight Title vs. Edwin De Los Santos In June 7 Homecoming Fight
Keyshawn Davis is set to defend his WBO lightweight title vs. Edwin De Los Santos on June 7 in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, sources tell The Ring.

The deal came to fruition one day after De Los Santos posted on X that negotiations collapsed. Davis’ first title defense will headline Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.

The Olympic silver medalist won the title in February with a fourth-round TKO of Denys Berinchyk in New York. Prior to that, Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) stopped Gustavo Lemos before 10,000-plus in Norfolk in November.

Davis, 26, is The Ring’s No. 3 lightweight.

De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KOs) will end a 19-month layoff with a second consecutive title challenge.

The 25-year-old Dominican hasn’t competed since a tightly contested decision loss to Shakur Stevenson in a 135-pound title fight. Stevenson lost more rounds against De Los Santos (13 across three scorecards) than against any other opponent.

Prior to that, De Los Santos reeled off a third-round KO of Jose Valenzuela, who went on to win a title, and a decision victory over Joseph Adorno.
