Lamont Roach Jr. has delivered a sobering update: the long-awaited rematch with Gervonta “Tank” Davis is likely off the table. After months of delay and speculation, Roach is now looking ahead and considering alternative opponents rather than waiting for a rematch that may never take place.
What’s Behind the Fallout?
- Their first showdown on March 1, 2025, ended in a highly controversial majority draw, with many believing Roach should’ve won—especially after referee error in Round 9.
- A rematch was originally targeted for August 16, but repeated delays and shifting dates (June 21, August 23 or 30) have made it uncertain.
- Davis’s arrest in July on domestic violence charges, though later dismissed, added further complications.
- Roach’s father confirmed that August was no longer a realistic timeline, and as of early August, they had not received a firm new date.
- With no clarity in sight, Roach himself stated: “The rematch don’t look like it’s happening… we’re moving on.”
