In just a few hours, Keyshawn Davis will step into the ring for one of the biggest challenges of his boxing career. The 25-year-old from Norfolk, Virginia, will face off against the seasoned Ukrainian champion Denys Berinchyk for his WBO Lightweight title. Berinchyk, who won the title after a victory over Emanuel Navarrete last year, will be looking to defend his crown. Though the 36-year-old holds more professional and amateur experience, Keyshawn Davis is no stranger to the pressure of big fights. How so? His extensive amateur background, with over 75 victories, has set him up with a powerful edge. Moreover, his 81% chance of winning on betting platforms suggests he could be on the verge of something spectacular in the Lightweight division.

As much as the fight promises fireworks, there’s one other aspect of the event that always gets fans talking. Which is? The walkout music. Walkout songs set the tone, stir the emotions, and make the moments leading up to the fight unforgettable. Keyshawn Davis, known for his electrifying personality both in and out of the ring, is particularly notorious for his exciting song choices. Let’s take a closer look at his past walkouts.

Keyshawn Davis’ Last Walkout Song

While the official walkout song for the February 14th fight against the WBO Lightweight champion has yet to be revealed, one thing is for certain—Keyshawn Davis’ entrance will be anything but ordinary. “The Businessman,” has made a name for himself by always choosing different, high-energy songs for his fights. Each song choice seems carefully picked to reflect the energy and hype that Davis brings to the ring.

This is particularly true for his homecoming fight against Gustavo Daniel Lemos last November. Through this, we see a glimpse of what’s to come. The fight, which took place on November 8, 2024, at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, was a pivotal moment in Davis’ young career. Despite having fewer professional bouts than ‘El Electrico’, Davis entered the ring with the confidence of an undefeated fighter. The 10-round lightweight match was one of the most anticipated non-title bouts of the year, and the energy in the arena matched the stakes of the fight.

His homecoming fight saw him bringing out the Booker T Washington marching band to walk him out in full honors. It was indeed a special ring walk for Davis as his grandfather was an alumnus of the historic school and the school was also the alma mater of the legendary boxer Pernell Whittaker. That is as special as it gets.

Can Keyshawn Davis' electrifying entrance set the stage for a knockout victory over Denys Berinchyk?

Have an interesting take?

Before that, for the Miguel Madueno fight in July, Davis walked out to a remixed version of Lil Durk’s “When We Shoot.” The song amplified the intensity of the moment. Given how the 25-year-old loves to mix things up, it’s safe to say that the walkout song for the Berinchyk fight will be just as exciting and energetic. Fans are bound to be treated to an entrance that mirrors Davis’ electrifying persona.

A striking entrance against Jose Pedraza

It’s not just the fight against Lemos that stands out in Keyshawn Davis’ walkout history. Another unforgettable moment came when Davis squared off against the former champion Jose Pedraza. The fight featured the IBF USBA Light, WBC USA Light, and WBO Inter-Continental Light titles on the line. It was a high-stakes contest, and as always, Davis made sure his entrance was nothing short of spectacular.

For this event, Davis walked out to the live performance of “Get Back” by YTB Fatt, accompanied by the rapper himself. The performance added a whole new layer of excitement to the atmosphere, making the crowd’s anticipation reach a fever pitch. He’s proven time and time again that his walkouts are as much about entertainment as they are about setting the mood for the fight ahead.

Meanwhile, Davis’ opponent that night, Jose Pedraza, was no slouch either. The 34-year-old Puerto Rican boxer, known as “The Sniper,” entered the ring with his own set of skills. What did he offer? A legit record of 29 wins with 14 knockouts. Pedraza had a wealth of experience and had previously held titles in two weight classes. However, the Virginia native made a statement in the ring by securing a knockout victory in February 2024.

Comparatively, Berinchyk’s signature ring walk also deserves some attention. The WBO World Lightweight Champion is known for making bold and dramatic entrances. One of his most unforgettable moments was set to the song “X Gon’ Give It To Ya ” by rapper DMX. Accompanied by the intense energy of rock music, Berinchyk made a striking entrance. He emerged from a metal cage, wearing a face mask, embodying a fearless and theatrical presence. His over-the-top walkout not only showcased his confidence but also set the stage for an electrifying showdown.
