ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez experiences that light-weight rivals Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Jr are “tentatively” planning a June twenty first rematch at Las Vegas’ T-Cellular Enviornment.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO), the reigning WBA titlist at 130, appeared to decisively beat a tentative “Tank” final month even with a bogus knockdown name that noticed Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) take a knee earlier than working to his nook to be toweled off, solely to accept a majority draw. The New York State Athletic Fee frustratingly (however understandably) declined to overturn the outcome, however at the least it appears Roach will get one other huge payday out of it.
Rodriguez provides that WBA middleweight champ Erislandy Lara (31-3-3, 19 KO) and Jermell Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KO) will seem on the undercard in separate bouts. The 41-year-old Lara had his busiest 12 months since 2019 in 2024 with a whopping two bouts, which noticed him smash Michael Zerafa in two and drive Danny Garcia to stop after 9. As for Charlo, who hasn’t fought since a one-sided loss to Canelo in September 2023, he’s nonetheless champion-in-recess with each the WBC and WBA so far as I’m conscious.
