Will Keyshawn Davis's undefeated streak lead him to a lightweight title, or is it just hype?

Keyshawn Davis made his professional debut in 2021 and in just 3 years, he has established himself as a star in the lightweight division. Known for his quick punches and electric footwork, Davis has been lighting up his division. According to several experts, 2024 was supposed to be the breakout year for Davis. With 2 wins already under his belt in the year, he is making that prediction come true.

The 11-0 undefeated boxer has had a prolific amateur career and has not looked back since turning pro. He has already accumulated several high-profile victories on his resume, with several lucrative brand deals and financial gain. So, ahead of his third fight of 2024, against Gustavo Lemos, let’s take a look at Keyshawn Davis’ career earnings.

Keyshawn Davis has earned the moniker of “The Businessman” due to his smart decisions both inside and outside the ring. It reflects the mentality of the 25-year-old towards sports and how he treats it as a business. For him, every match is a decision that will help his career in the long run. He has often opened up about how he wants to support his team, family, and fans with every fight.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Keyshawn Davis's undefeated streak lead him to a lightweight title, or is it just hype?

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.

Davis is represented by Top Rank and was signed by the company in 2021 with just 3 professional fights under his belt. His sensational performance in the 2020 Olympics, where he won the silver medal in the lightweight division, played a crucial role in acquiring that contract.

This is all the information that is available about Keyshawn Davis’s finances across various verticals. He might likely earn more from additional sources that he hasn’t publicly disclosed.
