Nahir Albright pulled off a major upset against Kelvin Davis on June, 2025, at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, capturing the vacant Silver US WBC Jr. Welterweight Title by majority decision. Albright’s relentless offense put Davis on the defensive early, with a powerful overhand right in the second round leaving Davis visibly shaken and forced to clinch. Albright maintained control through the middle rounds, repeatedly hurting Davis and building a clear lead on the scorecards.
Despite a late surge from Davis, including strong uppercuts in the seventh and tenth rounds, the judges scored the bout 96-94 and 97-93 for Albright, with one judge seeing it even at 95-95. The loss marks the first defeat of Davis’s professional career, dropping his record to 15-1, while Albright improves to 17-2.
Tensions escalated after the fight, with Albright alleging that Davis’s brothers, including Keyshawn Davis, confronted him in the locker room, resulting in an altercation that required police intervention. Kelvin Davis later issued a public apology for the incident, acknowledging the high emotions surrounding the event.
Albright’s victory and the post-fight controversy have left boxing fans buzzing, as both fighters look to regroup and move forward after a dramatic night in Norfolk.
