The pair first fought in March in New York City. That bout ended in a majority draw, but many thought Roach should've gotten the win. In the ninth round, Davis took a knee after Roach landed a jab. The referee, Steve Willis, didn't call it a knockdown, which caused a lot of talk after the fight.
Since then, Davis and Roach have been going back and forth on social media. People started to wonder if the rematch would happen at all. Roach added fuel to the fire with a tweet on June 20, 2025.
Lmao buddy know damn well ion fuck around like that he gassin yall up just to justify why he ain't do his part of the deal yet ???????? he really might pull out of the fight… stay tuned
We'll know soon if the fight's still on for six weeks from now. If it doesn't happen, 'Tank' Davis might have another option. He's been talking with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul about a possible fight before the year ends.
Both fighters have a lot riding on this. Davis wants to keep his unbeaten record, while Roach wants to prove he can beat 'Tank'. Their first fight was close and controversial, so fans are eager to see what happens next.
As it stands, we're all waiting to hear if Davis vs Roach 2 will go ahead as planned. If not, it'll be interesting to see what each fighter does next.
