“My second home!!! Me vs 5head March 1st NEW YORK let’s goooo!!! #TheONE” Davis wrote as his caption on Instagram for the post.

What’s the insult? Davis called Roach “5head” in the caption. “Five head” is a play-on-words and insult for someone who has a large forehead.

The Davis-Roach fight was initially set to be held in Houston in December. However, the fight was pushed back and will now take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 1.

Davis is 30-0. This will be his fourth fight at Barclays Center and first there since 2022. Roach is 25-1-1.

Gervonta Davis for many years now has proclaimed himself as ‘The face of boxing’.

Whether this is true or not, the man known as ‘Tank’ is certainly one of the biggest draws when it comes to pay-per-view figures.

Recently in Las Vegas, the reigning WBA lightweight champion knocked out Frank Martin in eight rounds, solidifying his dominance in the 135lb division and reinforcing the belief that he is the best in his weight class.

Post the fight, there were links of unification contests between the man from Baltimore and Vasyl Lomachenko (IBF) and Shakur Stevenson (WBC).

However, these fights have not materialised due to his rivals not being available.

Despite this, after rumours of the knockout artist returning on December 14th, it was confirmed that he would be fighting the current WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach (25-1-1), on this date at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX.

Since, losing for the first time in his career to Jamel Herring in 2019, Roach has gone on a six-fight win streak.

‘The Reaper’ notably defeated former ‘Tank’ opponent Hector Luis Garcia last November to claim his WBA title.

He then went on to defend his title in June by defeating Feargal McCrory by TKO in the eighth round.

However, per Dan Rafael on his Twitter/ X account, the fight is in doubt.

Been told by 3 sources involved in the event there’s good chance Tank-Roach won’t happen Dec. 14 as announced on PBC social platforms & by the fighters. Venue issue may be reason I’m told. Might happen as planned but unclear. 1 deemed it “50-50.” Could get pushed to early ‘25.

He then went on to say that there is no issue between the fighter’s deals, but the fight is not fully finalised, due to venue complications.

Therefore, it would seem as if the fight may not happen until 2025.

Furthermore, due to the rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk occurring on December 21st, it is very unlikely that the PBC would schedule the fight for this date.

Fight fans will have to wait and see how Gervonta Davis’ fight plays out, but what is certain is that blockbuster clashes await him.
