Saturday's scheduled fight between Keyshawn Davis and Edwin De Los Santos is reportedly off.

The two sides couldn't reach an agreement following Davis' failure to make weight, sources told ESPN's Andreas Hale.

Davis was stripped of the WBO lightweight championship Friday after he missed weight ahead of a planned title defense against De Los Santos.

The 26-year-old weighed in at 139.3 pounds, which is 4.3 pounds over the divisional limit.

"I outgrew the weight," Davis said. "I've been making this weight for four years now. I was up late last night and early this morning trying to make the weight, but I outgrew it."

Even before missing weight, Davis said he planned to move up to junior welterweight after the De Los Santos fight.

The undefeated Davis was slated to make his first defense since knocking out Denys Berinchyk in February to capture the WBO lightweight title.

Davis holds a 13-0 (1 NC) professional record with nine knockouts.
