Edwin de los Santos receives an opportunity for the title against Keyshawn Davis on June 7

Edwin de los Santos revealed that he will challenge Keyshawn Davis for his Lomb’s lightweight title on June 7 in Virginia. Keyshawn, 26, is finally showing some courage Facing the native of the Dominican Dominican Republic, of Los Santos, in his first defense of the title.

However, he is catching him at the perfect moment, with two years of oxide in him and leaving a loss. If it were not for that, it is doubtful that Keyshawn and their promoters in Top Rank once agree to use it as a challenger. Of the saints it would be considered too dangerous if it were active.

Unexpected shot

Davis is being maneuvered very carefully for its promoters to keep it above the water line because they could sink quickly if they threw it with young talents such as Andy CruzRaymond Murtalla, Gervonta Davis and his friend, Shakur Stevenson.

#13 WBO-RANKED DE LOS SANTOS (16-2, 14 KOS) TOLD Millcity boxing The fight against Keyshawn (13-0, 9 kos) is “Safety,“And he hopes that the contract will be sent tomorrow. With luck, Davis has no doubts and changes his mind about fighting Edwin, 25, because this is probably as good as it is.

Keyshawn was talking crazy after capturing the lightweight title of the OMB of champion Denys Berinchyk last month on February 14, saying he wanted Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz in his first defense of the title. He seemed sure that the Pitbull would agree on fighting him because he was now the head of the OMB.

Keyshawn does not realize that being a champion means anything in this era of sport. The belts do not matter now. Those are only important for combatants who do not have a fans base and need a title to validate them casual boxing fans.

It is not ideal for Los Santos, 25, to fight for a world title after two years of inactivity without a tuning. It will not reject the opportunity. He has not fought since he lost to Shakur Stevenson for a unanimous decision of 12 rounds on November 16, 2023.

Edwin threw his chances of winning that fight by not letting his hands were enough, apparently fearful of being beaten with counters of the 2016 Olympic silver medalist. Of the saints he could have won, but did not show the fire that we had seen in his knockout of three rounds of José ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela.

The “Entrepreneur”

It is not the fight that fans wanted to see Keyshawn because they have been pressing him to defend against his four times conqueror, Andy Cruz. Unfortunately, the main Davis promoted rank has not shown interest in facing Cuban talented after losing to him at the 2020 Olympic Games.

That terrible experience seems to have left a brand in Keyshawn, making him reluctant to face Andy again. Davis calls himself ‘the businessman’ since he became professional, and his approach seems to be just to earn money. Fighting Andy Cruz would again change the cash flow in the spike.
