What Belts Are On The Line In The Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin de los Santos Fight?
The biggest fight in the the United States in the world of boxing this weekend takes place in Norfolk, Virginia as Keyshawn Davis vs Edwin de los Santos takes center-stage at the Scope Arena.
Given the fact that the fight is in Norfolk on the east coast, US boxing fans will be able to catch Keyshawn Davis’ next fight prime-time on Saturday night.
Following his two recent knockout wins, including last time out against Denys Berinchyk to become world champion, it’s hard to see past another Davis victory this weekend.
The majority of boxing fans are picking him to win, but the challenger is still a live dog in the fight with a huge knockout ratio of his own.
When it comes to world title belts at lightweight, the four main governing bodies are of course the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF. The Ring Magazine belt is also one of the main recognised legitimate titles now in boxing.
With that in mind, Keyshawn Davis’ WBO World Lightweight Title is on the line this weekend in his first defense against Edwin de los Santos. This comes after the 135-pound king stopped Berinchyk last time out in four rounds to win the belt.
