“January, I walked up to Bill, and he told me to stand on my word after the fight,” Keyshawn said to the media afterward. “Why that didn’t happen, I don’t know.”
Davis also revealed that he attempted to secure fights against Lamont Roach Jr. and Oscar Duarte before returning against Albright.
“I was on the phone with Lamont Roach trying to make it happen,” Davis said. “I also was trying to get in contact with Oscar Duarte.”
The Norfolk native made clear after the fight that he viewed the Albright rematch as a lesser option compared to the opponents he originally wanted.
“I wanted to fight a better opponent,” Davis said. “He’s actually a decent fighter. He’s just not on that top level.”
Davis dominated most of the rematch despite a two-point deduction after slamming Albright to the canvas during a clinch in the seventh round. He controlled the action with faster hands, cleaner combinations, and stronger work late in the fight.
After the victory, Davis again repeated that he is open to facing bigger names next.
Keyshawn said, “I felt amazing. I felt good. He’s a crafty fighter. He’s been around. I tried to go for the knockout. We all saw that he was hurt. I just didn’t get it. But I got the decision, and that’s all that matters.”
“Whoever is willing to fight the businessman, let’s make it happen,” Davis said.
