On February 8, a heated battle is anticipated between Keyshawn Davis and Jose Pedraza at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, headlining with Teofimo Lopez versus Jamaine Ortiz. The lightweight clash, featuring Davis (9-0, 6 KOs) and Pedraza (29-5-1, 14 KOs), takes the spotlight as the co-feature. Here’s why the highly anticipated fight holds such weight for the fans.

During Davis’ last match against Nahir Albright, a controversial twist occurred, leading to a No Contest due to Davis testing positive for marijuana post-fight. Undeterred, Davis views this upcoming bout as a chance to rise up once again. Similarly, Pedraza, recovering from a setback against Arnold Barboza Jr. in February 2023, is determined to reclaim victory. Both fighters seek redemption, adding intensity to this exciting showdown.
