Gervonta Davis Seeks Quick Rematch After Unexpected Draw with Lamont Roach

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Gervonta “Tank” Davis is eyeing a swift rematch against Lamont Roach following their unexpected draw on March 1. Davis, who has hinted at a potential retirement or extended break, is now motivated to clarify the first fight’s outcome.

In a recent interview, Davis expressed his determination to return to the ring quickly. “I want to get back in there and show everyone what I can really do,” he stated. Davis’s performance in the initial bout did not meet his expectations, pushing him to fight again sooner rather than later.

On the upcoming card, Erislandy Lara is expected to defend his WBA middleweight title, while Jermell Charlo is also slated for a comeback—his first since September 2023. Charlo plans to resume at 154 pounds despite concerns regarding the risks associated with his age and previous fight at 168.

Fans and analysts are already weighing in on the anticipated rematch. A user noted, “I hope Roach doesn’t get cocky thinking he already beat Tank once; he needs to bring his A-game.” Another stated their surprise at the quick turnaround for Davis, suggesting this matchup could be more exciting than his previous fight against Ryan Garcia.

The past weekend was action-packed within the boxing community. Tim Tszyu, who faced setbacks in 2024 with losses to Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev, secured a victory against a lower-tier opponent, Spencer, whose performance has raised questions about his future in the sport.

Tszyu spoke about the challenges of making the 154-pound weight limit, which spurred conversations on whether he will move up to 160. “It was a tough cut for me; I’ll have to see how I feel going forward,” Tszyu remarked.

Debate continues about Tszyu’s potential fight with Keith Thurman, with some fans believing this matchup would represent a significant step for him. “Thurman is probably the appropriate step up for a next fight,” noted one observer.

Across international boxing scenes, notable events unfolded in Kazakhstan and England, where fighters experienced varying success. Heavyweight contender Joe Joyce faced criticism after stumbling during his bout, leading experts to suggest it might be time for him to consider retirement. A fan commented, “There were times when Joyce lost his footing just walking forward; he should think about his future in the sport.”

Meanwhile, Filip Hrgovic secured a win but displayed a lack of urgency in his performance. A spectator remarked, “Hrgovic looked disinterested, but he landed many punches nonetheless. He needs to step up his game as the heavyweight division evolves.”

As the boxing landscape continues to shift, fans eagerly await the next steps for Davis, Roach, Tszyu, and other prominent fighters. With multiple fights on the horizon, the anticipation for each matchup grows across the sport.
