Ticket alert for Keyshawn Davis' Virginia show

Tickets for the homecoming of Norfolk, Virginia native Keyshawn Davis — who fights Gustavo Lemos in a ten-round lightweight main event on Friday, Nov. 8th at Scope Arena — go on sale Wednesday, Sept. 25th, at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster and the Scope Arena box office. A special presale will begin TODAY at 10 a.m. ET, and it can be accessed at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0100612D9C992C2F. Davis (11-0, 7 KOs), an Olympic silver medal winner, is bringing boxing back to his hometown. The card, which will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S., is Scope Arena's most significant boxing event since Norfolk-born legend Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker defended his welterweight title against Buddy McGirt in October 1994. Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs), from Buenos Aires, is undefeated as a lightweight. In April, he lost a controversial decision to top junior welterweight contender Richardson Hitchins.

“I can’t wait to have the support of everyone from Norfolk, the Seven Cities, and all of Virginia. It’s going to be something special,” Davis said. “I always dreamed of fighting at Scope Arena, and I’m coming to give everyone in the 757 a spectacular show!”

The co-feature sees WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. (26-0, 20 KOs) make his first title defense against Puerto Rico’s Derrieck Cuevas (27-1-1, 19 KOs). Undercard action includes Keyshawn’s older brother, junior welterweight contender Kelvin Davis (13-0, 7 KOs), returning in an eight-rounder against Yeis Solano (15-3, 10 KOs), while his younger brother, Keon Davis, makes his professional debut in a four-round welterweight bout. Lightweight prodigy Abdullah Mason (15-0, 13 KOs) looks to shine in an eight-rounder against Yohan Vasquez (26-5, 21 KOs), and middleweight contender Troy “The Transformer” Isley (13-0, 5 KOs), Keyshawn’s Olympic teammate and a native of Alexandria, Virginia, hopes to thrill the home region fans in a 10-rounder versus Tyler “Hercules” Howard (20-1, 11 KOs).
