Thu Dec 05 15:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Davis-Roach Lightweight Title Fight Rescheduled for March

**Brooklyn, NY** – The highly anticipated WBA lightweight title fight between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. has been rescheduled for March 1st in Brooklyn, New York, organizers announced Friday. The fight, originally slated for December 14th in Houston, was postponed without explanation.

Davis, ESPN’s No. 8 pound-for-pound boxer and No. 1 lightweight, boasts a perfect 30-0 record with 28 knockouts. His last fight saw a spectacular eighth-round KO of Frank Martin in June, following a brief jail stint for violating house arrest. While negotiations for a high-profile bout with Vasiliy Lomachenko fell through, Davis will now face Roach, a significant underdog.

Roach, the WBA super featherweight champion, is moving up in weight for the fight. The 25-1-1 boxer, ranked No. 5 by ESPN, recently defended his title with an eighth-round TKO victory. The March 1st matchup promises a compelling clash of styles between two of boxing’s rising stars.
