Lamont Roach says there is no comparison between him and Frank Martin as it looks like he will be far superior to his compatriot, dethroning Gervonta Davis.

Davis is scheduled to defend his WBA lightweight world title against Roach in Houston on December 14 on PBC’s Prime pay-per-view, although the fight has not yet been officially announced.

Roach will move up to 135 pounds from 130 pounds, where he holds the WBA crown, and says he poses a much tougher challenge than Martin, whom “Tank” defeated in eight rounds in June.

“With all due respect, I’m not Frank Martin,” the 29-year-old said Talking about cigars.

“Frank Martin started boxing at the age of 15?

“He didn’t have the experience to play with someone as skilled and experienced as he was.

“I have the same skill level as Tank.

“I had the same experience as Tank.

“I’ve got the reflexes, I’ve got the skills, I’m damn sure I’ve got the IQ.”

“The Reaper” has faced Davis twice in amateur competition and lost by decision both times.

Washington has won six wins since taking a unanimous decision to fight Jamel Herring for the WBC super featherweight world title in 2019, securing the WBA crown via split decision Hector Luis Garcia in November 2023, whom ‘Tank’ knocked out 10 months earlier.

Davis, who hails from neighboring Baltimore, has won 28 of his 30 professional fights by knockout, but Roach says he has the strength to counter the 29-year-old’s power.

“What makes people think I’m going to end up like these guys who had no experience and no skills?” he added.

“I think I have a nice chin.

“I was hit on the chin a few times.

“Nobody ever dropped me.

“No one has ever seen me hurt in any fight.

“The power may be slightly different.”

Dmitry Bivol has rejected a possible rematch with Canelo Alvarez ahead of his bid to become the undisputed airy heavyweight champion.

Bivol shot to fame when he secured a dominating unanimous decision victory over Canelo in May 2022 in Las Vegas to retain his WBA airy heavyweight crown.

A rematch was announced after the fight, but Alvarez opted to return to super middleweight after suffering the second defeat of his professional career and first since his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2013.

Since then, the four-time super middleweight world champion has won five times over Edgar Berlanga and defended his unified WBA, WBO and IBF super middleweight world titles.

Bivol, who will face unified WBC, WBO and IBF champion Beterbiev for the undisputed crown on October 12 in Riyad, insists he is no longer interested in fighting the Mexican, who he believes has missed his chance.

“He had a chance to do it [a] rematch,” said the 33-year-old FightHype.com.

“He didn’t take advantage of this opportunity.

“He didn’t even negotiate on this matter and now the matter is closed.

“I have my own way. He has his own path in the super middleweight division.

“I am a airy heavyweight fighter.

“Just different weights.”

Since defeating Alvarez, undefeated Russian he won three fights in a row, the last one by sixth-round TKO against Malik Zinad in June, also in Riyad.

The two were scheduled to meet on June 1, but Beterbiev withdrew knee injury.

The 39-year-old is undefeated in 20 professional fights, all of which ended by knockout, but Bivol insists he is not focusing on his opponent’s appalling knockout rate.

Bivol added: “I try not to pay too much attention to things like ‘he has incredible power, he’s a unsafe fighter.’

“I’m not trying to draw attention to [people saying] he’s already vintage.

“I just try to pay attention to what he’s doing in the ring, his skills and all that, and I try to pay attention to what my coach says.”

Jake Paul received a stern warning at the end of his intense fight with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

Their long-awaited clash was originally scheduled for July, but had to be postponed due to Tyson’s ulcer becoming inflamed, forcing him to stop training on doctor’s advice. However, Tyson’s camp assures fans that he will be in good fighting shape before he heads to the ring next month.

The fierce clash, scheduled for Friday, November 15, will break out at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, potentially in front of a colossal crowd of 90,000 spectators. Mike Tyson has not appeared in a professional match since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005, and his last in-ring appearance was in 2020 during a closed-door event against Roy Jones Jr.

Meanwhile, YouTuber Paul, 27, is basking in the glory of his latest victory over UFC alumnus Mike Perry, which came last July.

The trash talk heats up as Tyson’s entourage ramps up the mind games. A promotional clip appeared online in which a member of Tyson’s team declares: “We’re not going to throw just one bomb. We want to throw bullet after bullet.”

One of the boxing legend’s trainers boldly declared that Paul would get into stern trouble if he dared to step into the ring today, saying, “If the fight was today, Jake Paul would be over,” and emphasizing his constant attack strategy: “He throws missiles, and not just one bomb. The bombs come one after the other.

Ahead of his upcoming fight in the ring, Tyson sparked health concerns after recently confessing: “It’s difficult to walk right now. But in two months I will be perfect. The fight is won in the gym. Listen, I’ll do anything to lend a hand me. I’m going to have fun here with all my childhood friends and, damn it, Jake Paul.

The confusion in the boxing community is palpable as Tyson unveils training photos ahead of his fight with Paul, sparking a rift among fans. Additionally, eyebrows were raised at the seriousness of his approach after the straightforward revelation.

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, “Iron Mike” revealed his training schedule: “I train extremely difficult, I train six hours a day. I start at 11 a.m. and can leave the gym at 5 p.m.,” to the host’s disbelief. In response to Kimmel’s disbelief, Tyson agreed to a brief respite, prompting Kimmel to react with surprise: “Oh no.”

Adding to concerns is the risk that Tyson could face a boxing ban if he fails a drug test as a result of his pre-fight admission of potential cannabis operate. When asked by Kimmel if he would be high for a fight with Paul, Tyson replied: “I’ll be high in my life, yes.”

This led to further questions about marijuana operate, to which he replied, “That’s possible too.” A surprised Kimmel remarked, “Oh no, my bet is getting smaller as we talk.”

The seriousness of Mike Tyson’s intentions remains a question mark. However, if he decides to operate marijuana before his upcoming fight with “The Problem Child,” the consequences could be stern.

The Texas Commission, which has strict rules on such substances, can impose significant sanctions.

In a stark warning from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), they stated: “If any combatant tested positive for a banned substance, we would file a grievance, suspend him or her for 90 days, and if the combatant prevailed, the decision would be changed to a no-decision due to violations of the rules.
