Keyshawn Davis<\/a> believed he needed a fresh start following the disastrous chain of events that took place both before and during his canceled June 7 matchup with Edwin De Los Santos<\/a>.
The 26-year-old Davis blew weight by 4.3 pounds, leading to the WBO stripping him of his lightweight title. To make matters worse, Team De Los Santos pulled their man from the event<\/a>, leaving Davis off a card he was supposed to headline in his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Davis, just recently, revealed that he made wholesale changes. Amongst them was the axing of former head trainer Brian \u201cBomac\u201d McIntyre. When asked to give his opinion on the split, McIntyre chose to keep his thoughts to himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo protect the kid\u2019s integrity and his boxing career, I have no comment on the splitting of the team,\u201d McIntyre told The Ring.<\/p>\n

Together, Davis and McIntyre meshed incredibly well. The former \u201cTrainer of the Year\u201d led the 2020 Olympic silver medalist to a handful of wins and a world title victory over Denys Berinchyk on February 14 in New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden<\/a>.
Yet, when Davis was at his highest, everything came crashing down. Shortly after failing to make weight for his homecoming fight against De Los Santos at Scope Arena, Davis (13-0, 9 KOs, 1 NC) sat front row and watched as his older brother, Kelvin Davis, lost a majority decision to Nahir Albright<\/a>.
In the locker room area immediately after, all hell broke loose, as Albright accused Keyshawn Davis and his younger brother, Keon Davis, of attacking him<\/a>. Keyshawn Davis\u2019 majority-decision win over Albright in October 2023 was overturned to a no-decision because Davis tested positive for marijuana, a banned substance in Texas.<\/p>\n

Six months after his damaging behavior in Norfolk, Davis is looking forward to a fresh start.<\/p>\n

\u201cI changed my entire team,\u201d Davis admitted to several reporters. \u201cEverybody that I used to work with, I don\u2019t work with anymore. Everything is different. Everybody got deleted. It\u2019s a whole new team, whole new system.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what his future holds, Davis, who is still promoted by Bob Arum\u2019s Top Rank Inc., hopes to return at some point in 2026 as a junior welterweight contender.<\/p>\n

For McIntyre, although he\u2019s no longer in Davis\u2019 corner, he isn\u2019t holding any grudges and only wants to see him do well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish him nothing but the best,\u201d McIntyre said.<\/p>\n
