Gervonta “Tank” Davis is gearing up for his next big challenge as he prepares to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach. The highly anticipated showdown is set to take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Fans can expect an action-packed night as Davis, known for his explosive power and undefeated record, takes on Roach, a determined contender moving up in weight for this massive opportunity.
Roach has received special permission from the WBA to retain his 130-pound title while moving up in weight to challenge Davis. This bout marks Davis’s second defense of his lightweight title since his knockout victory over Frank Martin in June 2024.
Reflecting on their shared history, Davis noted in December, “Lamont’s got skills. Even at a smaller weight class, he’s one of the guys who I came up with in the sport of boxing, and he’s still doing well.”
The main card is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET, with the main event expected around 9 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the fight live on Amazon Prime Pay-Per-View, priced at $75.95 in the U.S. and £63.30 in the UK. Tickets are available through the Barclays Center box office and authorized ticketing platforms.
The undercard features notable matchups, including Jose Valenzuela defending his WBA super lightweight title against Gary Antuanne Russell, and Alberto Puello facing Sandor Martin for the WBC super lightweight title. Preliminary bouts are set to begin at 4 p.m. ET.
This event promises an exciting night of boxing, with Davis looking to maintain his undefeated record and Roach aiming to make a statement in the lightweight division.
