Gervonta Davis will return to the ring this December when he faces Lamont Roach in a lightweight title clash.

Tank will defend his WBA lightweight crown in this bout and heads into this one off the back of beating Frank Martin in June.

That result stretched Davis’ record to 30-0-0, and he’s fast putting himself in contention as one of the greatest fighters of this generation.

For this contest, Davis is voluntarily defending his belt, while the WBA have granted his opponent special permission to move up a weight category.

Roach is the current super-featherweight WBA belt holder, but he’s prepared to take on Davis as a lightweight.

There were reports that the event could be postponed until 2025 due to potential issues with the venue, but for now, it will take place in December.
