Nearly one year after the lone defeat of his pro career, Kelvin Davis returns home to reassert himself against veteran Peter Dobson in a ten-round welterweight showdown on Saturday, May 16th at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Additionally, iron-fisted Dominican featherweight Yan Santana looks to inch closer to a title opportunity in a ten-round battle against Cristian Cruz Chacon. Davis-Dobson and Santana-Cruz join a card headlined by the Keyshawn Davis-Nahir Albright twelve-round junior welterweight rematch. In the ten-round welterweight co-feature, former champion Brian Norman Jr. returns against Canada’s Josh Wagner.
Keyshawn-Albright II, Norman-Wagner, Davis-Dobson and Santana-Cruz will be streamed live on DAZN beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with RDR Promotions, tickets are on sale at the Scope Arena box office and via Ticketmaster.com.
Davis (15-1, 8 KOs), the 29-year-old brother of ex-lightweight champ Keyshawn, looks to bounce back after last June’s majority decision loss to Albright. Davis now moves up to welterweight to take on Dobson (17-3, 10 KOs), a 35-year-old native of the Bronx who has faced the likes of Conor Benn in February 2024 and then-unbeaten Jakil Hacket in July of that year.
Santana (16-0, 13 KOs) looks to become the first man to stop Cruz as he climbs the rankings in a division ruled by proven champions. Santana went 3-0 with one knockout in 2025, including a fifth-round stoppage of Alexis Eduardo Molina in November. Cruz (24-7-2, 12 KOs) is 2-0-1 since his April 2024 decision loss to Ruben Villa, including a points win over Jeremy Hill last September before a split draw against once-beaten Muhammad Yaquobov in November.
