Keyshawn Davis-Nahir Albright 2: What next for both men after Virginian's triumph?
Usyk vs. Verhoeven: Only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Keyshawn Davis put his long-running feud with Nahir Albright to bed after emerging victorious in a lopsided unanimous decision on Saturday.
The Virginian thrilled a hometown crowd at Norfolk's Scope Arena as he outclassed his opponent three years on from their no-contest clash.
Having tipped the scales again on Friday however, the ex-WBO lightweight champion has admitted that a move to welterweight may be next.
As for his opponent, he remains winless in 2026 after two bouts, and will be left to mull what might have been in an often-difficult performance.

So what comes next for both men after this triumph for the former? DAZN News outlines the options that face each fighter and what they may do.
Keyshawn Davis
'Thee Amazing' has never been shy about who can get the smoke - but it appears that he may be poised to switch divisions once again next up.
Having come in marginally over the super-lightweight limit on Friday, Davis has indicated that he may pursue a welterweight switch later this year.
If so, the Norfolk man already has a particular foe in mind, with WBO champion Devin Haney currently in his crosshairs for a potential title shot.
Should he remain at his current weight though, the star remains first in line for a crack at Shakur Stevenson's belt - a tantalising encounter to be sure.
Nahir Albright
Two fights this year, and two results that have not gone the way of 'Woo', leaving him with some questions over where he may go next in the ring.
His rivalry with Davis appears to be a closed chapter now, but with no light-welterweight ranking to call his own, quality opponents may be hard to find.
Albright could well decide to follow his foe and swap divisions in pursuit of a new challenge, but whatever he does, he needs to find a win soon enough.
Still only thirty, there may be miles left for the star to discover - but it is hard to break a rut, especially after a punishing encounter like this one is doled out.
