Davis Moves Into Olympic Medal Round!

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis of Alexandria, VA has moved into the medal round of the Tokyo Olympics.

Davis won a 4-1 decision over Gabil Mamedov of the Russian Olympic Committee.  Davis scored a standing-eight count on Mamedov in the third round to seal the victory.

Davis is assured of at least a bronze medal.  He is the first Beltway Boxer to earn a medal since Clarence Vinson in 2000 in Sydney, Australia.  Davis now looks to become the first local to win a gold medal since Andrew Maynard in 1988 in Seoul, South Korea. 

Davis will face Hovhannes Bachov of Armenia in the semifinals on Friday, August 6th.
