You’d think after getting stripped of his title, blowing up an ESPN main event, and watching his own brother lose on live TV, Keyshawn Davis might’ve had the sense to sit down and shut up. But nope — instead, he decided to go full clown and assault Nahir Albright backstage.
This wasn’t heat-of-the-moment adrenaline. This was a deliberate move. Albright had just handed Kelvin Davis his first pro loss — a clean majority decision win — and was doing a post-fight interview with ESPN’s Mark Kriegel. Then here comes Keyshawn, fresh off tanking the card, walking up on Albright with his little brother Keon, putting his forehead on the guy’s face, then grabbing him like they were about to settle things in the parking lot. Security had to pull them off. Albright ended up with a visible bump on his head.
From Olympian to clown act in 48 hours
The whole thing was caught on ESPN cameras. And it was pathetic. The self-proclaimed face of the new generation resorting to sneak attacks and cheap intimidation tactics — right after wrecking a whole event. His brother just lost. He himself had no fight left. And yet here he is, still trying to be the main character in a story nobody’s writing about him anymore.
And let’s not forget: Albright beat Kelvin Davis fair. Clean. And now Keyshawn wants to rewrite the narrative with fists behind the curtain? Grow up. Settle it in the ring — if you’re still allowed in one.
Timothy Bradley said it best: “His stock just plummeted”
Bradley didn’t hold back on the ESPN broadcast. He straight-up said he was a fan of the Davis brothers — was. Past tense. “You see how when you don’t control your anger? Do you see what happens?” he said, watching the whole debacle unfold. It’s rare you see a broadcast team that disgusted on air. But this wasn’t a boxing incident. This was an ego meltdown caught in 4K.
You don’t get to be the next star if you behave like a backroom bully. This isn’t just bad optics — it’s a career reset. And if Keyshawn Davis thinks he’s going to walk back into a headlining slot after this, he’s dreaming.
Local cops had to remove Keyshawn from the building. That’s where we’re at. From Olympic hype to escorted out by law enforcement — and for what? Pride? Ego? Jealousy?
Albright said it plain: “We have to settle it now… inside the ring, not outside.” And he’s right. But don’t be surprised if Keyshawn’s next fight is with the commission, not another fighter.
If this is boxing’s next big name, the sport’s in serious trouble. When a man loses his temper, his belt, and his grip on reality all in 24 hours, what else is left to fall?
