Tale of the Tape
Fight Preview
Boxing superstar and WBA Lightweight World Champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) returns to defend his title against the rising WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Lamont Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) in what promises to be an explosive clash at Barclays Center.
The WBA has granted Roach special permission to move up in weight to challenge for Davis' lightweight belt while retaining his junior lightweight title. If victorious, Roach will have five days to decide which title to keep and defend.
This marks Davis' second title defense since being elevated to full WBA champion, following his impressive eighth-round knockout of Frank Martin. For Roach, this represents the biggest opportunity of his career, entering on a six-fight win streak including his dramatic WBA 130-pound title victory over Hector Luis Garcia.

- Establish a strong jab early
- Avoid prolonged exchanges in the pocket
- Maintain high work rate to prevent Davis from setting up power shots
