Gervonta Davis Plans to Hang Up the Gloves by 2025 as He Gears Up for Lamont Roach Fight
Gervonta “Tank” Davis just dropped some big news ahead of his showdown with Lamont Roach: he’s eyeing retirement at the end of 2025. This revelation is making the buzz around their upcoming fight even more intense, especially since they’ll face off on March 1 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for the WBA lightweight title.
Old Rivals, New Stakes
During a recent press conference, both fighters took to the mic to hype up their 12-round clash. Roach, who boasts a record of 25 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, sees this fight as his chance to shine. “This is a hell of an opportunity, and we’re going to conquer it,” he said, ready to throw down and prove the doubters wrong.
Roach isn’t shy about his confidence. He believes he’s got what it takes to shock everyone. “You’re going to be surprised by the result,” he added, hinting that he thinks Davis might regret taking this fight. Their rivalry goes way back to their amateur days, and with both fighters eager to prove themselves, fans are in for a wild ride.
Gervonta Davis: Still a Force in Boxing
At just 29, Gervonta Davis is still one of the hottest names in boxing, but with talk of retirement, folks are starting to wonder how much longer he’ll be around. After hitting the big 3-0, some critics think his time to dominate may be slipping away. But don’t count him out just yet.
Davis expressed his gratitude to his team and fans, saying, “Right now, I’m not really big on getting into it and stuff like that… Come March 1, it’s definitely going to be a great show.” He’s got an impressive list of victories under his belt, including fights against big names like Yuriorkis Gamboa, Leo Santa Cruz, and Ryan Garcia. Even so, many believe he hasn’t yet reached his peak.
Lamont Roach’s Road to the Top
On the flip side, Lamont Roach has fought hard to get to where he is now. After a tough loss to Jamel Herring back in 2019, he bounced back and snatched the WBA junior lightweight title last November, edging out Hector Luis Garcia in a close fight. He followed that up with a solid eighth-round stoppage against Fergal McCrory, proving he’s ready for the big leagues.
Roach is all about strategy and grit. He’s not just looking to survive in the ring; he’s ready to test Davis’s chin and show he can compete with the best. “I’m tough and great; I’m smart and witty. Whatever I have to pull out of my bag of tricks, that’s what I’m going to do,” Roach declared.
With both fighters bringing their A-game, the anticipation for this matchup is through the roof. Will Davis cement his legacy before calling it quits, or will Roach pull off a major upset and make a name for himself in boxing history? March 1 can’t come soon enough, and fans are in for an unforgettable night of action.
