Keyshawn Davis has already made it clear what he wants next after extending his unbeaten record on Saturday.

Davis moved to 15-0 with 10 knockouts after a dominant unanimous decision win over Nahir Albright, closing the chapter on their rivalry after their 2023 fight ended in a no decision.

It was the second ring appearance of 2026 for ‘The Businessman’ following his win over Jamaine Ortiz in January, as Davis now looks to move back into world title contention after his previous reign as WBO lightweight champion was cut short due to missing weight.

Speaking in the post-fight interview after defeating Albright, Davis revealed the names of three fighters that he now has in his sights for his next outing.

“I want to fight people like Oscar Duarte, I want to fight people like Devin Haney, I was on the phone with Lamont Roach, so I’m calling out these other guys to make a bigger fight for my legacy.”

Davis missed weight at the first attempt for the clash against Albright before eventually making it, and his preference is now to head to the welterweight division.

“Man, I’ll probably go to 147, I ain’t gonna lie. All this making weight stuff, it ain’t for me. As y’all can see, I ain’t good at making weight. I just know I can fight.”

With Duarte at super-lightweight and Roach set to compete for the vacant WBC lightweight title, it suggests the most likely option for Davis out of his targets is a bout with WBO welterweight champion Haney, with the pair already having been linked to one another in recent months.
