Leonard Ellerbe confirmed today on X that the fight between Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach is still on for March 1st at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) stirred up some drama this week when he posted this message on Instagram on December 23rd: “The fight is f*** cancel.” Davis later deleted the message. On the same day, Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) posted a video of him working, preparing for the fight.
Manufactured Drama?
Some fans believe Tank is trying to create fake drama to drum up interest in his mismatch against Roach because it’s seen as another one of his many cherry picks during his 11-year pro career.
The fight has already been moved once from December 14th to March 1st, and it’s seen as a product that no one wants. It won’t be a shock if Tank continues with the cancellation posts to get fans excited about this match.
