Kelvin Davis vs. Peter Dobson & Yan Santana vs. Cristian
Cruz Added To Davis vs. Albright II May 16
Nearly one year after the lone defeat of his pro career,
Kelvin Davis returns home to reassert himself against
veteran Peter Dobson in a 10-round welterweight showdown on
Saturday, May 16, at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Additionally, iron-fisted Dominican contender Yan Santana
looks to inch closer to a world title opportunity in a
10-round featherweight battle against Cristian Cruz Chacon.
Davis-Dobson and Santana-Cruz join a card headlined by the
Keyshawn Davis-Nahir Albright 12-round super lightweight
rematch.
In the 10-round welterweight co-feature, former world
champion Brian Norman Jr. returns against Canada’s Josh
Wagner.
Keyshawn-Albright II, Norman-Wagner, Davis-Dobson and
Santana-Cruz will be streamed LIVE on DAZN beginning at 8
p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Davis (15-1, 8 KOs), the 29-year-old brother of Keyshawn,
looks to bounce back after last June’s majority decision
loss to Albright. Davis rallied late in a back-and-forth
tussle that left one scorecard even. He now moves up to
welterweight to take on Dobson (17-3, 10 KOs), a 35-year-old
native of the Bronx who has faced the likes of Conor Benn in
February 2024 and then-unbeaten Jakil Hacket in July of that
year.
Santana (16-0, 13 KOs) looks to become the first man to stop
Cruz as he climbs the rankings in a division ruled by proven
champions. Santana went 3-0 with one knockout in 2025,
including a fifth-round stoppage of Alexis Eduardo Molina in
November. Cruz (24-7-2, 12 KOs) is 2-0-1 since his April
2024 decision loss to Ruben Villa, including a points win
over Jeremy Hill last September before a split draw against
once-beaten Muhammad Yaquobov in November.
