Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Rescheduled for March 1 in Brooklyn

The WBA lightweight champion will defend his title against Lamont Roach at the Barclays Center, following multiple postponements and fan criticism.

The Gervonta Davis-Lamont Roach fight, originally planned for December 14 in Houston, has been rebooked for March 1, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Lamont Roach, the WBA super featherweight champion, received special permission to move up in weight to challenge Davis while retaining his 130-pound title.
Fans and analysts have criticized the matchup, alleging that Davis is avoiding more formidable opponents like Shakur Stevenson or Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Davis, undefeated with a 30-0 record, is heavily favored in the bout, while Roach enters as an underdog despite a six-fight win streak and recent knockout victory in June.
Undercard details are still unconfirmed, but potential bouts include Brandon Figueroa vs. Stephen Fulton and Jermall Charlo vs. Thomas LaManna.
