Keyshawn Davis: Nobody wants to fight me

Keyshawn Davis: Nobody wants to fight me

Keyshawn Davis has claimed three fighters he reached out to fight are avoiding him, including Devin Haney.

Haney and Davis have a history of going back-and-forth, yet a fight is still yet to materialise.

‘The Businessman’ was last in action in January on the blockbuster undercard of Shakur Stevenson vs Teofimo Lopez.

He made light work of former world-level contender Jamaine Ortiz, whom he stopped in the final round of the contest.

Davis recently featured on the Mill City Boxing show and revealed he reached out to three fighters who all turned down a fight.

“Damn. Don’t nobody wanna fight me! Deebo [Devin Haney], Lewis Crocker, Lamont Roach. Damn!”

Devin Haney

‘The Dream’ seems to be on the lips of most fighters around the welterweight threshold, especially after his win last time out.

Haney became world champion for the third time in his career as he dominated Brian Norman Jr.

He put ‘The Assassin II’ down in just the second round and looked set to get his man out of there early, but the bout did see the final bell.

Haney did address the fight with Davis on X, stating he wants to face both ‘The Businessman’ and Shakur Stevenson.

“Me & Shakur is the biggest fight in boxing! I want him & Keyshawn. Little bro then big bro!”

Lewis Crocker

Davis named another world champion, this time one from across the pond in Northern Ireland.

‘The Croc’, currently holds the IBF welterweight crown after he defeated Paddy Donovan in their dramatic rematch.

Crocker was impressive on the night when he headlined at Windsor Park, having had a lot of difficulties in his first fight with Donovan before his opponent was disqualified in the eighth round.

Davis doubled down on his interest in fighting the Northern Irishman, claiming he would even fight on foreign territory if it meant the fight could materialise. He spoke to the Nightcap Show.

“I would love to go to the UK and fight Lewis Crocker before I fight Devin Haney. Three fights is what I want to fight this year.”

Lamont Roach

The final name the 27-year-old mentioned was Roach, a man who has shared the ring with both Gervonta Davis and ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.

Roach was unfortunate to draw both of his last fights.

His draw with ‘Tank’ was possibly the most controversial, with many believing he deserved to score a knockdown after he seemed to put the lightweight world champion down in the ninth round, but the referee ruled it a slip.

Davis directly tweeted Roach via X in February.

“Since ‘Deebo’ scary and never stood on his word, @OneOf1x you tryna fight me?”
