If Davis does not give Roach a rematch, who is he fighting next?
Published

Gervonta “Tank” Davis escaped with most draws against Lamont Roach Jr. to keep his lithe WBA title. Davis-which is recognized as the face of boxing next to Canelo Alvarez-Rrawie gave up the belt in a more challenging fight with the opponent that he was to defeat. Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) was not able to win in the performance in which fans wondered if it could be a bit overrated.
Nevertheless, Davis remains invincible, despite the fact that his star power accepted the hit after what took place on Saturday evening at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Modern York. Some of the biggest names in boxing had a fight that ends closer than expected. Finally, the bad taste of the night rinses and questions about what will happen next for one of the biggest stars in boxing.
First of all: Davis should give Roach an immediate rematch?
It is challenging. At the moment, everyone who watched this fight, nods, agrees that Roach deserves another shot in Davis as soon as possible. Roach performed much above expectations, and the dominant thought is that his style gave Davis problems. After the fight, Davis said he would welcome the rematch. However, at a press conference after the fight he was not as sanguine about the time.
“[The rematch with Roach] It will probably not be this year – said Davis. – It’s definitely a fight I want, but it won’t be next.
There will not be many to take Roach as a favorite direction of a potential rematch. Instead, Davis will be guilty for the first time for taking Roach the first time. Waiting for a rematch is that the order will be restored and the activities dealing with tank service, as expected in the first fight. Some will say that Roach was robbed, but in fact it was a strict fight. The fight resembled the first fight of Floyd Mayweather with Jose Luis Castillo in 2002, when many thought Castillo had done enough to convey “Pretty Boy” the first loss of his career. Mayweather escaped with victory in the decision and won skilfully when the rematch took place seven months later.
The difference is that Mayweather was still growing, but Tank is already a certified star. Davis would not be much to gain in a rematch except to tranquil the mind. Roach is not a huge star, and the financial position would be narrow. While Davis is not obsessed with repairing the harm of the fight, he will probably think about the rematch and performs other options.
So who is he fighting next?
There is an obvious clash with Shakur Stevenson, which would be a huge battle between offensive dynamics and a defensive specialist. However, when Stevenson is now consistent with Eddie Hearna’s boxing and working with the boxing Power of Turka Alalshikh, chairman of the general Arabia of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment, the fight is challenging to perform. Davis did not convince the words of what he thinks about potentially cooperation with Alalshikh, which makes the opportunity to fight Stevenson to be at best distant. The same can be said about the 140-Funt Master Teofimo Lopez Jr., who is part of the triple match on May 2 at Times Square with Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.
This does not leave Davis with many options with an area of 140 pounds under the premiere banner of boxing masters. He could pursue the title of Champion of the WBC WBC Alberto Puello, who defeated Sandor Martin to Undercard. But there may be less interest in Davis, who collected the world championship title at 140 pounds than the Roach rematch. Although the fight against Keyshawn Davis from Top Rank to unify the lanes at 135 pounds, boxing fans would like, the WBO Lightweight champion is still being built towards the home brand and you cannot recognize free fight fans. It is unlikely that the fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko materializes because Lomachenko is considering retiring. But the Davis-Lachenko fight would have a significant amount of cache if the 37-year-old decided to fight.
There are no clear options for Davis’ next fight. Unless he lowers the guard and does not play football with Alalshikhem, he probably will not get a noisy opponent who would make him a larger combat bag than a Roach rematch. It can take a smaller name, but fighting fans become restless, and Davis does not face the best fighters from 135 to 140 pounds.
The reality is that the name Davis has enough weight to sell arena (19,250 participants on Saturday) and attract solid numbers of Pay-Per-view without a noisy opponent attached. He may want a final rematch with Roach, because the draw is tormented by him.
But let’s see how he feels next month.

The former Bantam champion UFC Holly Holm will return to the boxing ring for the first time in over 12 years.
Holm is the latest woman who joined the growing group of women’s boxers in Jak Paul’s most valuable promotions and will enter the ring against the unbeaten Yoland Vega in a 10-round featherlight fight on Undercard of 28 June fight with Julio Emperor Chavez Jr.
MVP announced an unexpected announcement during the Wednesday Paul-Chavez press conference in Anaheim.
“I am excited about cooperation with the most valuable promotions and a return to the boxing ring,” Holm said by a statement to ESPN. “This modern chapter will be an thrilling journey and I can’t wait for the challenge.”
The fight against Albuquerque, Up-to-date Mexico, Holm, 43 years ancient, began a combat sports career in the boxing ring, gathering a 33-2-3-3-3–3 and winning titles in three weight classes. In 2011, she competed both in boxing and mixing martial arts, but moved only to MMA in 2013. She signed the UFC in 2015 and was renowned for the Champion Ronda Rousey on UFC 193 November 15, 2015, in one of the biggest threads in MMA history.
Gathered a MMA record in the amount of 15-7 in 2011–2024. After her defeat from Kayla Harrison on UFC 300 in April 2024, Holm asked for release from UFC for other projects. With the boxing of women in a much different state than when she competed, where both the exhibition and money improved, Holm decided to give boxing in the last race.
“Holly Holm is the most dominant two-story athlete in history-show. Her achievements in boxing and MMA are incomparable and we are honored to welcome her in the most valuable promotions,” said Bidarian, co-founder of the most valuable promotions. “I remember that Holly shocked the world, destroying Ronda Rousey, and I have no doubt that he has the opportunity to shock the world again in her world champion. But Yolanda is a proud Mexican warrior and has her own plans, which is why she signed a contract with MVP with MVP.”
The fight against Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, Vega (10-0, 1 KO) began a boxing pro-boxing career in 2015, but was relatively inactive. However, she fought four times in the last year, and her last trip in March.
“The fight with the champion of this posture on Saturday, June 28 brings me to my goal, which is to become the world champion. I respect and admire her work, but today she has become my next goal, and the goals are to be achieved,” said Vega.
Holm was introduced to the International Gallery of Boxing Fame in 2022, but plans to become a champion again before hanging gloves for good.
“Approaching boxing, I spent most of my MMA career at 135 pounds, and now I have the opportunity to debut in boxing with such a weight,” she said. “Thanks to boxing titles in three classes with a higher weight behind the belt, I am joyful to implement the fourth title in the modern branch.”

Berlanga vs. Sheeraz: The outdoor setting of the Louis Armstrong stadium contrasts with the eliteness of Times Square, but do they resonate?
Published

Place of the event of Edgar Berlang vs. Hamzah Sheeraz from July 12 will be the National Tennis Center of 14,053 places at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Up-to-date York. It is a place that works for this sport, but not in boxing. Unfortunately, the stadium has many places at the ground level, makes them useless to watch box.
Fans are more concerned about the PPV price of the event than the location. If Turki wants to satisfy fans, he should value an event with a discount, because Berlanga is in the main event.
It is not clear why Turki Alalshikh chose this location for the event on July 12. His smaller place than Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center. The only obvious benefit from the Louis Armstrong stadium is that it will be an external place, such as the previous Turki event on May 2 at Times Square. The roof is extended in the event of a strange rain, sometimes in Up-to-date York. This is one of the green states.
Fights
Edgar Blangga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz – the main event
Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda-Scholar
Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias
David Morrell vs. Imam khataev
Ordinary fans will be cheerful that they can participate in a fight, and not exclude, as we have seen in the Times Square event. The crowd for this event was several hundred carefully selected VIPs, many of which wealthy millionaires. The fights were terrible and it was what was happening at a bad match.
Local Berlanga string?
It is doubtful whether this place will be sold, because none of the fights resonates with the crowd from Up-to-date York. Although Berlanga comes from Brooklyn, it is not a enormous enough name to bring a crowd of 14,000. Shakur comes from Newark, Up-to-date Jersey and it is not very popular in this state. Of course, Turki can afford to make the event half -filled, but it is better to be in the formulation of this card at the 5600 places at Madison Square Garden in Up-to-date York. In this way, a sale would be guaranteed.
Berlanga did not do enough in his career to count him, to bring a enormous audience. It would be a better idea for Turk to find a popular warrior who could complain about the event. Shakur would still be a good factor, and Berlanga would be perfect for the third fight in advance.

Chantelle Cameron hopes that the Katie Taylor trilogy is closer after joining Jake Paul’s MVP

Cameron Cameron hopes that the long -awaited trilogy fight Katie Taylor is a more realistic perspective after joining Jake Paul’s most valuable promotions.
Cameron (20-1, 8 KO) announced that she had signed a contract with MVP on Monday with another UK star IBF Super Middle Wweight, Savannah Marshall.
After two hits against Taylor (24-1, 6 KO) in 2023 with one victory, Cameron has long called for the third and deciding about the fight.
MVP, which Amanda Serrano also represents, worked closely with Taylor, and their third fight for July 11 in Modern York.
Asked if she hopes that moving to MVP can bring her closer to the third fight against Taylor, Cameron said ESPN: “Yes, I think I think I think [MVP] I now have good working relationships with Katie, she fights with Amanda.
“There is no reason that if he sets out in July, what is the excuse not to fight me.
“This is a huge move. Who knows, Amanda can make a decision, but if Katie wins a win, it will be engaging what movement he makes, because I will be with MVP, he knows that MVP will put off the money, so let’s see what he is doing.”
Cameron’s next opponent is to be announced soon, and the undisputed champion of the welterweight champion is equipped with MVP achievements with promoting fighters.
“The evidence is in the pudding with Amanda Serrano,” said Cameron.
“What they did with Amanda is unbelievable … They are changing the game. Their promotion, content, the promotion they do is simply whole.
“They absolutely break it. This is something I wanted to be part of and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so they didn’t even have to set me up.”
Because MVP creates a box and the center of their activities, this movement was elementary for Cameron, although he still had robust relations with the former promoter Frank Warren and Queensberry.
“It was just a really positive transition and it is the most crucial thing. It doesn’t happen often in professional boxing, but I had great relationships with Queensbury, and now I will have great relationships with MVP,” she said.
“I think that every boxer should now look at signing a contract with MVP, because they really invest and put time and effort on women.”
