WBA approves Lamont Roach Jr. to challenge Gervonta Davis for the lightweight title on Dec 14, pending PBC confirmation.
The World Boxing Association has approved Lamont Roach Jr. to challenge Gervonta "Tank" Davis for the WBA lightweight title on December 14, pending confirmation from Premier Boxing Champions. This bout may join a doubleheader featuring David Benavidez. Roach, who holds a title with a 25-1-1 record, faces criticism as fans prefer Davis to fight higher-profile opponents like Vasyl Lomachenko or Shakur Stevenson. Roach must decide on his title defense within five days if he wins.
