Keyshawn Davis Fight with Edwin De Los Santos Canceled
- Keyshawn Davis was stripped of his WBO lightweight title on Friday, June 6, after weighing 139.3 pounds in Norfolk, above the 135-pound limit for his scheduled fight.
- Davis missing weight by 4.3 pounds led to failed negotiations with Edwin De Los Santos, causing the cancellation of their June 7 lightweight title defense.
- Top Rank confirmed Friday night that the scheduled fight was called off, promoting the 10-round contest featuring Abdullah Mason facing off against Jeremia Nakathila to serve as the event's main attraction.
- Davis said, "I outgrew the weight," explaining he had been making the limit for over four years but no longer could, while promoter Bob Arum doubted his effort to cut weight.
- As a result, Davis lost his title without fighting, and the event continues without the championship bout, with Mason-Nakathila as the new main event for ESPN broadcasts.
