Keyshawn Davis Addresses Richardson Hitchins Fight Dispute

Keyshawn Davis has rejected claims that he priced himself out of a fight with Richardson Hitchins, but did not address Hitchins’ reported claim that Davis sought a $6 million purse. Hitchins has said the fight is off, while Davis says he wants him as his next opponent.

Davis says he signed in August

Davis said he signed a bout contract in August and described Hitchins as the opponent he wants next. He also recounted a direct-message exchange in which he says he told Hitchins the paperwork was complete and asked whether Hitchins had signed. According to Davis, Hitchins replied that the business would be handled soon.

Davis said Hitchins later accused him of asking for too much, and argued that Hitchins never confirmed signing his own contract. The account gives Davis’s version of the timeline, but does not establish what the contract’s terms were or whether both sides agreed to matching conditions.

Davis did not disclose the purse he requested, any counteroffer from the other side, or the current status of negotiations. His claim that he signed a contract does not, by itself, clarify whether the financial terms were acceptable to Hitchins or his team.

Hitchins’ $6 million claim goes unanswered

Hitchins has pointed to an alleged $6 million demand and said Davis has never earned a $1 million purse. Davis did not respond to those figures in his comments. Instead, he focused on rejecting suggestions that he lacks the willingness to face rivals, citing his Olympic background and readiness to fight.

The dispute leaves the key financial details unconfirmed. Neither fighter’s public comments, as described here, provide the requested purse, a promoter’s response or evidence of the terms each side was prepared to accept.

Davis also brought up Devin Haney while answering claims that he was afraid to fight. He said he did not want another opponent for his next bout and urged followers to press Hitchins to accept the matchup. That appeal puts pressure on Hitchins publicly, but does not resolve the disagreement over money or the status of the contracts.

Davis can speak to what he says he signed; he cannot confirm from his account whether Hitchins signed comparable terms. The August paperwork is therefore central to his argument, but its financial details have not been made public.

Davis has stated that Hitchins is the opponent he wants next. The source reports no confirmed bout or scheduled date.
