What time is the Keyshawn Davis vs Jose Pedraza fight tonight? Start time, ring walks, running order

Former two-division champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza is ready to teach U.S. Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn Davis a tough lesson in the ring, promising a grueling battle at Las Vegas' Michelob Ultra Arena tonight.

As the co-main event heats up under the hive of neon lights, Pedraza guarantees Davis will regret stepping into the lightweight division with him. 

Jose Pedraza, a seasoned Puerto Rican boxer with a record of 29-5-1 and 14 knockouts, is cautioning Keyshawn Davis against underestimating him.

Pedraza has clinched titles such as the IBF junior lightweight and WBO lightweight champion. Despite his recent track record showing 0 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw in his last three fights, Pedraza remains confident. He last faced Arnold Barboza Jr. on February 3, 2022, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, but lost by unanimous decision.

Keyshawn Davis, an American fighter and Olympic silver medalist in 2021, carries an undefeated record of 9 wins, no losses, with 6 victories by knockout and one no-contest (NC).

His latest bout was against Nahir Albright on October 14 in Rosenberg, Texas. Initially a majority-decision win for Davis turned into a no-contest after he tested positive for marijuana. Consequently, the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation imposed a 90-day suspension on him for violating drug policies.

Pedraza voiced his perspective frankly about accepting the fight with Davis: "Yes, definitely, [Davis] made a mistake. But I did too, in accepting the fight with him. We make mistakes." He added that at his career level "you have to accept any fight."

Davis responded to the upcoming challenge with confidence. "Hey, I love to fight," Davis stated. He declared that despite Pedraza's experience he plans to make it "a long night for his ass." Highlighting his advantages as "the younger fighter (and) quicker fighter," Davis showed no concern about Pedraza's experience.

Lopez holds a professional record of 19 wins and one loss with 13 knockouts; his competitor Ortiz enters the ring with a tally of 17 wins, one loss, and one draw alongside eight knockouts.

These encounters comprise a major boxing event expected to attract significant viewership on ESPN both from die-hard boxing fans and casual observers alike.
