Keyshawn Davis, in his most recent return, was tested by Nahir Albright, who wasn’t expected to do much by some observers. The 27-year-old has proven that he’s a respectable fighter but when he was asked to step up in the past, he came up short.

On October 14th, at the Fort Bend Epicenter in Rosenberg, Texas, Albright saw the writing on the wall. Yet, no matter what, he refused to follow the same script. The Philly native fought toe-to-toe with his man, landing big shots whenever he wanted and forcing Davis to react quickly. After 10 hard-fought rounds, Albright (16-3, 7 KOs) wasn't given the decision he was looking for but he can somewhat take solace in knowing that he pushed Davis like few others. It may have been a good overall performance, but as Albright looks back on what actually took place, he’s kicking himself for how things played out.

“I’m better than that,” Albright told YSM Sports Media recently.

Sitting down and feeling sorry for himself isn’t in Albright’s DNA. Just a few days after losing to Davis, Albright went right up to his handlers and asked for a quick turnaround.

On December 9th, in his hometown of Philadelphia, he’ll face a yet-to-be-announced opponent. As of now, Albright doesn’t have a clue who he’ll be facing but he isn’t expecting a world-beater of any sort.

His 2023 is essentially over with outside of his December showing. With his 2024 looking as bright as ever, the Philly product doesn't believe he’ll be kept out of the mix.

At the moment, Albright knows that he doesn’t have the incendiary glow that some of his contemporaries do. Meaning, he’s in no position to call the shots. Still, if he was the boss and in complete control of his career, he would organize a showdown between himself and the fighter that many believe is the best at 135 pounds.

“I feel like something big is around the corner. More people know my name now. Any top guy out there, I want smoke. Shakur Stevenson, I wanna fight you.”
