“Kaycheon Davis failed to get into the light weight limit”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The main event of the show will be the title match in lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) – WBO World Champion Kayshon Davis (13–0, 9 KO) from the US will go to the ring against the Dominican Edwin de Los Santos (16–2, 14 KO).
On the eve of this event, a traditional weighing ceremony was held, which was complete collapse for the champion. The American failed to invest in the limit of his division and showed 63.1 kg on weights.
This means that Davis will take the title of champion, and the boxer himself will not even have time to have his first defense. If the Dominican wins in Norfolk, he will become a new world champion, because he was invested in a permissible limit – his weight was 61.08 kg. If you success, the WBO Keyshon belt will remain vacant.
It is worth noting that in February this year the American took the title of champion in a duel with Denis Berinchik. Davis knocked out a Ukrainian in the fourth round.
