Keyshawn Davis looks forward to sharing the limelight with Shakur Stevenson

KEYSHAWN Davis continues his ascent in the direction of world titles with a 10-round task towards Miguel Madueño in Newark tonight. Sharing a card with Shakur Stevenson is all a part of the large struggle enchantment for a younger man closing in on the heavy hitters of 135 and surrounding areas.

“It’s all the time particular sharing a card with my brother Shakur. We’ve been doing this since we had been children. We’ve been speaking about this since we had been amateurs. Brick Metropolis loves me. It’s my third time coming right here, so I count on the followers to embrace me once more as I make that ring entrance,” stated Davis.

Pressure has been rising between Keyshawn and Teofimo Lopez currently. Lopez (see above, defeating Claggett) efficiently defended his WBO super-lightweight title with a factors win over Steve Claggett in Florida and badly wants an opponent who can encourage him.

All of those next-fight projections will disappear if Davis doesn’t first cope with 25-year-old Sinaloa native Miguel Madueño, who has 28 KOs from 31 wins (towards two defeats) and enters with the suitable nickname ‘Explosivo’.

“It is a good alternative,” stated  Madueño. “It’s a chance to indicate what we’re fabricated from. We’ve had some setbacks. However we’re able to get again on observe. And what higher than going through a reputation like Keyshawn.”

Madueño misplaced to Steve Claggett two fights in the past, which most likely reveals his stage.

“I’m going to stroll away with my hand raised. We’ll be in search of the knockout. He [Davis] is a superb fighter. We’ve been watching and analyzing him. He’s spectacular. However on July 6, we’ll stroll away victorious,” countered the underdog.
