Gervonta Davis Says He is Nonetheless Preventing In Houston

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis posted on social media in the present day, saying that he’s “nonetheless combating in Houston, Texas on the Toyota Middle,” however didn’t verify whether or not the December 14th date remains to be on towards tremendous featherweight Lamont Roach.

The battle nonetheless hasn’t been introduced by PBC, and this isn’t the kind of battle that may have a fast promotion. Davis vs. Roach is such a low-level battle that it could require months of promotion to get followers considering buying it on Prime Video PPV.

Lately, there was discuss of the Tank vs. Roach battle having venue issues, and the occasion can be moved to January twenty fifth for the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell card on PBC on Prime Video PPV in Las Vegas.

If PBC goes to maintain Tank-Roach on the December 14th card alone with out assist from an enormous chief assist battle, it’s going to bomb on pay-per-view. A few of Tank and Roach’s loyal followers from the East Coast could wish to drive the 1400+ miles to see the battle in Houston, however I doubt it. That’s an extended drive for a lackluster battle. If followers have a lot curiosity in a regional contest between them, why isn’t the match being staged on the East Coast?

Tank’s publish in the present day on X means that he’s nonetheless combating in Houston, nevertheless it stays to be seen if it occurs in that metropolis, given the low curiosity there may be in his battle towards tremendous featherweight Lamont Roach Jr. (25-1-1, 10 KOs). Neither of those fighters is from Texas. They’re each East Coast guys, and Roach is totally unknown to informal boxing followers.

Even hardcore followers have hardly ever seen him battle. It’s important to be an ultra-hardcore fan who has been round for some time to know of Roach, who is generally identified for getting overwhelmed up in a loss to Jamel Herring in 2019.
