Given the lengthy stretch until fight night, neither man is yet to begin their camps but you wouldn’t believe it by taking one look at Davis. Videos have emerged of Davis posing for the cameras at a recent press event and fans were left stunned by the condition he is in already. One supporter wrote: “Lamont Roach is in trouble. Gervonta Davis is in shape right now.” Another commented: “Tank is looking insane.” A third posted: “His shoulders look big and strong.” A fourth fan remarked: “That champ in shape it’s up.” Meanwhile, somebody else said: “Looking in great shape already.” Roach, the reigning WBA super featherweight champion, was granted ‘special permission’ by the major sanctioning body to move up and challenge for Davis’ title while also retaining his 130lbs strap. Roach picked up the WBA super-featherweight strap by beating Hector Luis Garcia via split decision in November 2023 and defended it against Feargal McCrory in June. Davis is set to face WBA super featherweight champion Roach in MarchEsther Lin/ PBC He is now closing in on the opportunity to join an illustrious list of two-weight world champions, which includes his upcoming opponent.

The Baltimore boxer defended the full world title for the first time in June with an eighth-round knockout win over Frank Martin. Boxing fans were hoping to see Davis square off with Vasyl Lomachenko next in a WBA and IBF unification clash after both parties entered into negotiations earlier this year. However, talks came to an abrupt halt in July when Lomachenko opted to take some time away from the sport. Lomachenko’s manager Egis Klimas insisted that his client ‘wasn’t in the mood to fight Davis right now’ and wouldn’t be returning to the ring until 2025.
