Gervonta “Tank” Davis has been dropping some ticking time bombs on his verified Twitter account this week.

From March 26 through July 9, the PBC/Showtime schedule will be highlighted by seven world championship matches, including two title unification fights, and three title eliminators.
Gervonta Davis confirmed Friday night that he will fight in New York for the first time in more than four years.

Rolando Romero has made his way back into Gervonta Davis’ life. The pairing of unbeaten lightweights has been resurrected by the WBA, who has ordered a mandatory title fight between the two. Baltimore’s Davis presently holds a secondary version of the 135-pound title, while Romero has remained the number-one contender since last August.
Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero is free to resume his boxing career. A months-long investigation into allegations of sexual assault has concluded with no charges to be filed against the unbeaten lightweight contender. Accusations were made last October by 24-year-old Izabel Zambrano, accusing Romero of sexual assault from a September 2020 encounter in the boxer’s North Las Vegas apartment.
Gervonta Davis initially indicated that he considers Isaac Cruz a tougher opponent than Rolando Romero. The unbeaten Baltimore native quickly corrected himself, though. The more he thought about it, Davis couldn’t say with certainty that Romero’s replacement is better than the undefeated fighter he was supposed to face December 5 in Los Angeles.
