In a shocking and disappointing turn of events, the highly anticipated lightweight showdown between Keyshawn Davis and Edwin De Los Santos has officially been CANCELLED.

Just days away from fight night, fans woke up to the breaking news that the bout — originally scheduled to be part of a stacked card — will no longer take place. For many, this was a can’t-miss clash between two of the division’s most promising young stars. Now, it’s off the table — and the boxing world is left stunned and asking why.

Why Was It Cancelled?

As of now, official details are still emerging, but early reports suggest the cancellation may be related to contractual disagreements, medical clearance delays, or possible last-minute weight issues. Neither Davis’s nor De Los Santos’s camp has issued a full statement yet, but insiders close to the promotion confirm the fight is “off indefinitely.”

What was once being hailed as a possible title eliminator and a fan-favorite style matchup — Davis’s slick, technical approach vs. De Los Santos’s raw power and aggression — has now turned into the latest entry on the sport’s ever-growing list of fights that got away.

Fans React to the Fallout

Social media erupted immediately following the announcement:

“Say it ain’t so! This was the best fight on the card!”

“Boxing stays taking Ls. This was a real 50/50 matchup.”

“They better reschedule this ASAP. Davis vs. De Los Santos is unfinished business now.”

The disappointment is real — not just because of the clash of styles, but because this fight was seen as a major test for both fighters on their way to title contention.

Will It Be Rescheduled?

There’s no word yet on a new date, but both fighters had been deep in training camp and reportedly still want the fight. Promoters may look to shift it to a future card later this summer — if both sides can come to terms and the circumstances that led to the cancellation are resolved quickly.

In the meantime, fans are left hoping this isn’t a total fallout, but just a delay in what could still be one of the most explosive fights in the lightweight division.

Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops, including official statements from Top Rank, PBC, or the fighters’ camps. One thing’s for sure: Davis vs. De Los Santos isn’t done — it’s just on pause.
