NORFOLK, Va. — The Businessman Keyshawn Davis is returning to the Scope Arena on June 7 to defend his World Boxing Organization lightweight title vs. Edwin De Lose Santos.

It'll be the first fight for the Norfolk native coming off his title victory on February 14 at Madison Square Garden, when he knocked out Denys Berinchyk in the fourth round.

It's a quick return to the ring in Norfolk for Davis, who fought at the Scope with both of his brothers on the undercard on Nov. 8. All three Davis brothers won that night in front of a sold-out crowd.
