The Bad Blood Is Back in Norfolk
The unfinished business between Keyshawn "The Businessman" Davis and Nahir "Woo" Albright finally gets its resolution - or maybe its next chapter.
The two super lightweights will collide in a 12-round grudge match on Saturday, May 16, at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, in the main event of a Top Rank card streaming on DAZN. Fight night coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET.
This one has been a long time coming.
How We Got Here
The two first met in October 2023, in a fight that delivered exactly what boxing fans had hoped for - a competitive, back-and-forth battle that had the crowd invested from the opening bell. The judges scored it 96-94, 97-93, and 95-95, a majority decision in favor of Davis.
Then the result was wiped from the record books.
Davis tested positive for marijuana following the bout, and the official outcome was overturned to a no-contest - leaving the fight without a winner, and leaving both fighters without the closure they'd earned.
The tension didn't cool off after that. If anything, it got worse.
In 2025, Albright stepped into Norfolk - Davis' home turf - and defeated Kelvin Davis, Keyshawn's older brother. The aftermath reportedly included a backstage confrontation, adding a genuinely personal dimension to a rivalry that was already charged.
This isn't just a rematch. It's a reckoning.
Where Both Fighters Stand
Davis arrives on the back of a dramatic 12th-round knockout win over Jamaine Ortiz in January - a statement performance that silenced some doubters and reinforced his status as one of boxing's most compelling young contenders. The Businessman is entering this fight with momentum and a point to prove at home.
Albright, meanwhile, returns off a draw with Frank Martin, a performance that showed he belongs at this level and that his style gives anyone problems. He's the kind of opponent who doesn't follow the script - and in this fight, he'll be looking to tear it up entirely.
What's at Stake
For Davis, this fight is about closure and control - a chance to put his name back on a result that was taken from him by circumstance, and to do it in front of his own city. Norfolk has been complicated for him lately. Saturday night is the opportunity to change that narrative.
For Albright, it's simpler: disrupt the script, again. He's already done it once in this rivalry, and he did it in Davis' backyard. A decisive win over The Businessman would catapult him into the conversation at 140 and firmly establish him as a problem the division can no longer afford to overlook.
The S³ Takeaway
Rivalries with genuine backstory are rare in modern boxing. Davis vs. Albright II has everything: controversy, personal stakes, a home-crowd dynamic, and two fighters who actually dislike each other. The no-contest result left a vacuum. Saturday night, one of them fills it.
