TOKYO (Reuters) - American Keyshawn Davis's dream of winning an Olympic gold, improbable till last month, was back on track on Sunday when the men's lightweight won his debut fight in Tokyo with a unanimous decision on points against Dutch Enrico Lacruz.

Davis, who needed professional help to manage anger issues a few years back, was removed from the United States team last year after a row over attending training camps for the Olympic qualifiers. It prompted him to turn professional in 2021.
