Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach Set for March 1 on “PBC On Prime”

Rescheduled Bout Heightens Anticipation

The highly anticipated match between Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach will now take place on March 1, rescheduled from its original December 14 date due to venue conflicts at Houston’s Toyota Center. While Davis expressed a desire to fight in Houston, Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) founder Al Haymon is exploring other locations, with a focus on venues in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area to cater to both fighters’ East Coast fanbase.

Davis’ Impressive Record and Roach’s Challenge

Undefeated with a 30-0 record and 28 knockouts, Davis is a star in American boxing. Lamont Roach, currently the WBA 130-pound champion, is set to step up five pounds for this 135-pound showdown. Davis initially sought to defend his title in Houston, but PBC’s shift to a possibly larger market reflects the event’s high commercial appeal and expected broad audience draw.

Upcoming PBC Fights Add to the Excitement

As the main event on the March 1 “PBC On Prime” pay-per-view, the Davis-Roach fight follows a massive bout scheduled for February 1 between David Benavidez and David Morrell Jr.. This 12-round light heavyweight clash is set for Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena and promises to be another thrilling match for boxing fans. Originally rumored to be on the same card, the Davis-Roach and Benavidez-Morrell fights were separated to ensure each receives the spotlight it deserves.

Davis’ Stellar Career and Possible Future Opponents

Known for his knockout power, Davis last fought in June, winning against Frank Martin in an eighth-round KO. While he previously considered facing Vasiliy Lomachenko, Lomachenko’s uncertain future led Davis to focus on Roach. Despite Lomachenko’s hiatus, he remains a potential future opponent if he returns to the ring.
