Is Gervonta Davis trolling his opponent and the boxing community, or is his March 1 fight with Lamonth Roach Jr. really canceled?
Davis sent fans into an uproar on Monday after he posted the image below on his Instagram account. Uncrowned captured the image and posted it on X.
I couldn’t contact Davis, but I did reach out to Roach Jr’s publicist Nilo Wright to ask if him or his client had been notified about a cancellation or delay. “Nope, still preparing as planned for March 1st,” Wright said.

Also, Roach was asked by several people and he was seemingly getting irritated with the consistent questions. According to Roach, he’s still “locked in” for March 1.
Davis has since deleted the post, but the havoc has been created.
There’s seemingly some thought that the fight could be in jeopardy around the boxing world. Oscar De La Hoya, the face of Golden Boy posted at Davis on Monday evening offering him an opponent if he needs one.
