Kelvin Davis aims to get revenge against family rival Nahir Albright

Kelvin “Nite Nite” Davis is seeking family retribution when he fights crafty contender Nahir “Woo” Albright in a 10-round junior welterweight bout on Saturday, June 7, in front of his hometown fans at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, live on ESPN+.

Davis-Albright lands on the undercard of a bill headlined by Kelvin’s younger brother, Keyshawn Davis, defending his WBO lightweight world title against Edwin De Los Santos.

Keyshawn fought Albright in October 2023 in Rosenberg, Texas, initially winning a majority decision before a positive post-fight marijuana test overturned the verdict to a no-contest. It remains the only blemish on his 14-fight record.

“Albright is a good opponent for this point in my career, but he can’t hang with us,” the vengeful fighter, Kelvin, said. “He thinks he accomplished something with Keyshawn by taking him 10 rounds, but I’m here to show him he can't play with the Davis name.”

Davis (15-0, 8 KOs), a 6-foot-1 southpaw, turned pro in December 2020 and signed with Top Rank the following year. He went 3-0 last year, warming up the capacity crowd at Scope Arena in November when he knocked down Yeis Solano in the eighth round of a unanimous decision victory.

Davis kept busy in March with a fourth-round KO over 33-fight veteran Jose Marruffo.

Albright (16-2, 7 KOs) has never been stopped as a pro and holds a July 2023 victory over 2016 U.S. Olympian Karlos Balderas. Less than three months after besting Balderas, he gave Keyshawn the most challenging fight of his pro career.
