Keyshawn Davis and Gustavo Lemos have finalized a deal for a November 8 lightweight clash at Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. The bout serves as a homecoming for Davis, headlining a special Friday edition of Top Rank Boxing on ESPN.

Davis, an Olympic silver medalist from the Tokyo games, is set to face his toughest opponent yet in Lemos. Ranked No. 5 by ESPN in the lightweight division, the 25-year-old Davis is coming off a solid 10-round decision win over Miguel Madueno last month, continuing his rise in the 135-pound weight class.

Lemos, a 28-year-old fighter from Buenos Aires, presents a significant challenge for Davis. Lemos is returning to the lightweight division after a controversial decision loss to junior welterweight contender Richard Hitchins in April. Despite that setback, Lemos is best known for his fifth-round TKO victory over former champion Lee Selby in March 2022, which remains a highlight of his career.

In the co-main event, Troy Isley (13-0, 5 KOs) squares off against Tyler Howard (20-1, 11 KOs) in 10 rounds. This matchup replaces the originally scheduled WBA welterweight title defense between Brian Norman Jr. and Derrieck Cuevas. Norman was forced to withdraw due to a hand injury suffered during training.

Troy Isley, the unbeaten 26-year-old from Washington, D.C., is coming off a unanimous decision win over Javier Martinez in June, following a seventh-round stoppage of Marcos Hernandez in March. His opponent, 30-year-old Tyler Howard from Crossville, Tennessee, returned to winning form in August with a majority decision victory over Raul Salomon.

Also added to the undercard is a six-round super featherweight contest between Robert Meriwether III (7-0, 3 KOs) and Eric Howard (6-2, 1 KO). Meriwether, a 19-year-old from Las Vegas, is making his fourth appearance of the year after stopping John Mark Alimane in four rounds in September. Howard from Tampa, Florida, has dropped two straight unanimous decisions, and will be looking to bounce back in this bout.
