Kyrone Davis On Wanting Tough Nights, The Middleweight Division, And Why No One Wanted Him After He Fought Benavidez
Kyrone Davis is a dangerous middleweight contender who is not high on the list for any of the champions to face.
Having defeated unbeaten prospect Elijah Garcia last year, he takes on an unbeaten Cuban – Yoenlis Hernandez – this weekend. It is another tough fight, for a man who has done much of his work in Philadelphia.
Davis, who has also fought the likes of David Benavidez, moving up in weight and facing him at short notice, could be just a win away from the title shot he craves.

#258 Matty Floyd
Light-heavyweight contender Matt Floyd is desperate for a big fight. The 15-1 (10 KOs) Australian has even chased down bouts with the likes of Tommy Fury and other influencers, having found his options restricted in Australia. That is, in part, because he has served prison time. As a child who was abused by pedophiles, Floyd made it his mission to hunt pedophiles and torture them. It resulted in him going to jail, but now he is looking for career opportunities and for a fighter – and promoter – to take a chance on him.
