Gervonta Davis MADE AN UNEXPECTED STATEMENT ABOUT A FIGHT WITH Rolando Romero / Kambosos - Haney

Gervonta Davis MADE AN UNEXPECTED STATEMENT ABOUT A FIGHT WITH Rolando Romero Kambosos - Haney Gervonta Davis is arguably a Top 10 pound-for-pound in world boxing, he just agreed to terms of a contract to fight Rolly Romero in the Lightweight division. ESPN's Mike Coppinger had the scoop of the multiple-time world champion who has belts in three different weight classes signed a contract to face Rolly Romero in a Lightweight bout that is set to take place on May 28. Even though the WBA ordered this fight back in January, the final agreement was set for the middle of 2022. In previous months, these two undefeated fighters were supposed to fight on December 5, 2021 in Los Angeles. However, Romero was forcefully removed from this fight after sexual assault allegations were filed against him. As a result, Davis fought Isaac Cruz and won by unanimous decision despite fighting to the limit on that occasion. After a long investigation conducted by the Henderson Police Department in Nevada, no further charges were filed against Romero. Evidence was insuficient against Romero in order to charge him for actual sexual assault. Now that his name is clear, Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) is coming from two consecutive TKO wins against Avery Sparrow and Anthony Yigit. Rolly is arguably the best contender who can currently fight against Davis but he is still considered one step below Gervonta at the moment. Sources: Gervonta Davis and Rolly Romero have agreed to a deal for a lightweight fight on May 28 on Showtime PPV. The WBA ordered Tank-Romero in January, one month after they were slated to fight. ESPN story coming Davis is ready for this new challenge. Gervonta Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) is already set to fight in his fourth straight pay-per-view event. The overwhelming majority of boxing experts around the world consider him a Top 10 pound-for-poind boxer. Only below the biggest names in the sport such as Canelo Alvarez, Oleksandr Usyk or Tyson Fury. Davis has already held titles at the lightweight, super lightweight and super featherweight divisions. We still don't know where the location of the fight will be but Showtime Boxing PPV will be the one to broadcast the event. GERVONTA DAVIS VS KEITH THURMAN PPV GRUDGE MATCH HAS TO HAPPEN SOON Gervonta Davis squaring off against Keith Thurman has to happen if the former moves up in weight by the end of this year. Thurman is one of many names pushed forward for a potential Pay Per View fight with the Floyd Mayweather star in the coming months. After over two years out following a loss to Manny Pacquiao, the former world welterweight champion returned to action. ‘One Time’ impressed against Mario Barrios with rumors continuing to swirl that a potential grudge battle with Davis is in the air for the summer. Previously, Davis poured cold water on the possibility of facing Thurman. Late last year, he said: “Keith Thurman, we know who Keith Thurman is. He’s a guy that says many things, but he doesn’t do anything,” to The Last Stand Podcast. “He says all this stuff. When was the last time he fought? Manny Pacquiao? When was that? Come on. “As far as boxing-wise, he’s getting old at boxing. Come on, bro. You got to be active somewhere, and he’s not even worth mentioning anymore. “There’s a new generation of boxers, and I have to worry about people that are coming up now. “I’m like, I got to put him on my list that I gotta watch out for. Nobody is worried about Keith Thurman. Come on, bro. Your time has passed.” Thurman proved he is back at the top. “Boxing is my American Dream come true. It’s my life. It’s my passion, and this is what I do,” he said. “This is where I put my blood, my sweat, my tears. “It’s why I wear red, white, and blue every time I fight. “The sport of boxing, my legacy, is not over. The story is still getting written. In 2022 we have a new chapter for Keith Thurman. “With a belt, without the belt, I’m one of the greatest welterweights in the world today. “This sport is one of the toughest in the world. Suppose you’re looking for action. If you’re looking for entertainment, you’re going to want to watch our show on February 5.” GERVONTA DAVIS It’s no secret that Gervonta Davis is looking more in-house than 0ut-house when it comes to his next opponent. However, once a move to 147 is on the cards, Thurman will surely be one of the top names on the Mayweather shortlist. Therefore, if it happens, we’d be able to fully gauge the potential for Davis to settle fully at the welterweight limit like his mentor and promoter. This summer, Davis has to deal with Roland Romero before any Thurman talks can begin. ‘Trying to close that deal’ – Eddie Hearn hoping to announce undisputed fight between George Kambosos and Devin Haney Eddie Hearn, promoter for WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney, is working day to day to reach an agreement for a undisputed showdown with IBF, WBO, WBC Franchise, WBA champion George Kambosos.
