After more than 7 months of being away from a boxing ring, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis finally returns to action this weekend. Known for his highlight-reel knockouts and electric performances, ‘Tank’ is set to take on Lamont Roach Jr. in what promises to be an exciting showdown.
Originally slated to take place in December 2024 but postponed due to scheduling conflicts, Davis‘ WBA lightweight title defense will finally actualize on March 1, 2025, at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Davis, boasting an unblemished 30-0 record with a staggering 28 knockouts, is renowned for his punching power and precision. Roach Jr., on the other hand, mounts a formidable challenge with a 25-1-1 record and is stepping up from super featherweight to challenge Davis and make a significant impact in the lightweight division.
As if the fight itself wasn’t enough, the two also share a rather interesting history. Back in their days as amateurs, the pair faced off twice, with Davis emerging victorious both times.
So, the upcoming match not only offers Roach a shot at redemption but also promises fans an electrifying showdown between two skilled fighters. And since this fight is being broadcast across the globe, the timings are going to be all over the place. So, bookmark this!
