The undefeated lightweight champion hints at stepping away from boxing but remains focused on Saturday's fight at the Barclays Center.

  • Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, with a 30-0 record and 28 knockouts, will defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr. on Saturday night in Brooklyn.
  • Davis has suggested 2025 could be his final year in boxing, though he expressed uncertainty, mentioning the possibility of a temporary break instead of full retirement.
  • The fight against Roach, a WBA super featherweight champion moving up in weight, is widely seen as a showcase for Davis, with oddsmakers heavily favoring him.
