Have an interesting take?
His detailed and strategic planning while choosing every opponent and fight has allowed him to accumulate a net worth of around $2 Million by the end of 2023. Furthermore, his partnership with Top Rank has allowed him to secure significant purses for his fights. So, before his upcoming fight with Gustavo Lemos, let’s take a look at Keyshawn Davis’s fight purse history.
Davis’s biggest fight purse yet
During the early stage of his career, ‘Businessman’ fought for relatively modest purses, earning amounts typical for newly professional boxers. But as he started establishing himself in the lightweight division, it allowed him to earn a promotional contract with Top Rank Boxing, raising his stocks in the boxing world significantly.
While the details regarding the purse split of the fight against Lemos are still undisclosed, reports have suggested the payout to be in the same ballpark as his fight against Miguel Madueno. For that fight, Davis earned around $75,000 guaranteed and might earn a similar amount against Lemos. With his rising popularity, that figure could be increased to $100,000, making it his biggest payout yet. However, none of these figures have come from credible sources, and considering the growing popularity of the 25-year-old, we can even expect a bigger and better figure.
Sponsors, agents, and more
The Norfolk native’s electric personality has allowed him to secure several lucrative sponsorships. He signed an endorsement deal with Everlast in 2024 to release exclusive custom apparel and gloves. Earlier this year, he signed an exclusive deal with FightLabel to launch his own custom Billionaire Boys Club fight-fit boxing gear, which included shorts, a waistband, and a kimono.
