In the main event of the boxing show in New York, USA, WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis sensationally parted ways (115-113 and 114-114 twice) with Lamont Roach, the holder of the same title but in the lower category.
.
The boxers were rather passive in the opening round, but then Davis found his rhythm and looked more convincing in the ring. However, it lasted exactly until the middle of the fight - Roach managed to intercept the initiative and time after time to attack the formidable champion with accentuated hits.
.
The fight was not without scandal: Davis took a knee in the ninth round, but after a few seconds of confusion, the knockdown was not counted. In the post-fight interview, Gervonta said that the product applied to his hair before the fight got into his eyes, which caused problems with his vision.
After the fight, both fighters demanded a rematch, and Davis offered to do it again in New York.
