Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but I wanted proper boxing fans opinions, & the other forums are often lacking that.
After upsetting Keyshawns big brother Kelvin, Nahir says he was "jumped" by Keyshawn & Keon on his way back to his dressing room.
Nahir's last fight was a narrow loss to Keyshawn which was turned into a No Contest when Davis tested positive for Ganja.
I've been a fan of Keyshawn for a couple of years now. He comes across as a nice kid but the last 48 hours is showing a different side to him. Hopefully it's a blip rather than an indication of a deeper issue.

KEYSHAWN DAVIS APOLOGIZES FOR DISASTROUS EDWIN DE LOS SANTOS FIGHT WEEK, HINTS AT RETIREMENT
The homecoming fight week for Keyshawn Davis' scheduled matchup against Edwin De Los Santos was an unmitigated disaster.
Davis was supposed to defend his WBO lightweight title for the first time in Norfolk, Virginia on June 7 but was 4.3 pounds overweight. The ESPN main event fight was cancelled due to safety concerns, and the next day, Davis was accused of attacking Nahir Albright in the locker room after Albright beat Keyshawn's brother Kelvin Davis by majority decision.
Police were involved in breaking up other alterations that were captured on camera in the tunnels of the Scope Arena.
Keyshawn Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) has kept quiet ever since, but on Friday during an Instagram Live session, the 26-year-old opened up about the series of setbacks.
“The situation messed me up so much,” said Davis. “It took me damn near two months to talk about it. I felt some type of way for the people to say ‘I didn't care’ because that's not true. After that situation happened, I was never really right ever since. I had to start really leaning on my family, God and the people that loved me. I was just not myself.
“Just reflecting on that night, it was super wrong and we're going to right what I did. It wasn't right at all. Me not making weight was not right. It was unprofessional. I can see why people thought I didn't care. Everything about me looked like I didn't care. I knew I was not going to make the weight before I stepped on the scale. I was f----- up but couldn't show my expressions because the energy in the room was going to switch. I had my shield on, being positive and happy, but I am not doing that any more.
“We didn't put our hands on anybody. I have no love lost for [Team Albright] for them to carry it that way. Honestly, it was smart for them to carry it that way, if you want my opinion. At the end of the day, I shouldn't have walked into his locker room. But nobody got touched, and all of that got blown out of proportion. That s--- didn't happen at all.
“I feel like I let everybody down. I see and hear a lot of things that got set back because of me, and that's not an easy pill to swallow. It took me a lot of time to confront this stuff. It takes more than a week or two to just come back and apologize. I wanted to wait so you all can really feel me.
“I was doing a lot of stuff off camera that wasn't right, like snapping during fighter meetings. I apologized to those people. It's not an excuse, I'm just telling you all what was going on. I acted like a kid that night. I let everybody down. It's a tough pill to swallow. I'm back though. I'm better. I am healthy. You live and you learn, and I hope the kids learn from my mistakes and don't do what I did.”
Davis last fought in February against Denys Berinchyk and knocked out the Ukrainian for the title he briefly held. After missing weight against De Los Santos, Davis said his future was in the 140-pound division.
As Top Rank works toward finalizing a deal for its next broadcast partner, and with no announced dates on deck, Davis, a flagship fighter for the promotional company, is stuck in limbo waiting to see how his career will unfold.
“I don't know what's next for me. I don't have answers. I don’t have anything coming up,” said Davis. “I am about to get back to living my life, don't worry about The Businessman. The Businessman is done. He's retired. He's gone. You'll see me at fights and stuff though, but it's slow in the ring.
“At this point, I am damn-near retired ... boxing right now, it's kind of slow right now, no cap. I started a couple of things so money can keep coming in without me having to fight. I don't really have to stress about not getting back in the ring.
"But I am damn-near retired, I am going to keep saying that. I don't know when I am coming back. If you want me back in the ring, talk about it, post about it. I don't know what to tell you. But after this, y'all are not going to see me live for a very long time.”

Re: Nahir Albright Says He was Attacked by Davis Brothers.
First the cannabis debacle, now this.
He can deny that he entered the dressing room to attack an outnumbered Albright all he likes but he can’t deny his involvement in a further unsavoury incident with Albright’s brother which took place right in front of his (Keyshawn’s) few months old.
Daft as a brush

Re: Nahir Albright Says He was Attacked by Davis Brothers.
think what he's really saying is I smoked tha ganga , i attacked another boxer in the change room , but i did'nt really , i missed the weight by a country mile , because , you all can kiss my arse i'm Keyshawn Davis ,
But
Now i'm known has an idiot and no one wants anything to do with me , i can see paydays slipping away , so I'm Sorry , I'm healthy now and i promise i'll stay healthy and good , UNTIL i've at least had a few more paydays
