Lamont Roach Jr. is laying down firm groundwork for a rematch with Gervonta Davis. The super featherweight champion insists on certain guarantees before stepping into the ring again, following previous cancellations.
The cancellation of a scheduled fight between Gervonta Davis and Jake Paul reignited talks of a Roach-Davis rematch. Roach expressed his stance in an interview with Marcus Hayes, stating,
“I mean, yeah, sure... But, you know, if it comes up, there's a lot of guarantees I have to have, and you know, just in case it doesn't happen again...”
Despite interest in revisiting the matchup, Roach remains focused on his own career trajectory. He's gearing up for another challenge against Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz on an upcoming PBC-Amazon Prime card slated for December 6.
Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis encounters personal challenges that might affect his future plans in the ring. At the same time, Jake Paul prepares for his upcoming bout against Anthony Joshua on December 19.
Roach clarifies his independent approach to boxing irrespective of these external happenings. He asserts,
"My legacy will never depend on just one person."With professional uncertainty surrounding Davis and ongoing issues interrupting their potential rematch, Roach steadfastly continues building his career independently.
