Spin it again, darlings. 🎡
RUMOR. The latest spin. World Boxing News posted on X on Oct. 14: "Gervonta Davis now claims he's fighting Lamont Roach next in a rematch. 🤷♂️ Tank previously stated his comeback opponent would be George Kambosos." (x.com) We couldn't find Tank's original post, so we can't quote his own words yet. No date, venue, network or promoter statement has come out. Nothing is signed.
Earlier spins.
Why a Roach rematch has history. On March 1, 2025, at Barclays Center, Davis and Roach fought to a majority draw. Roach was denied a ninth-round knockdown, and many thought he'd won. A rematch was expected in August 2025 but never happened. Davis faced legal trouble (a domestic-violence charge that was later dropped), and then announced a Jake Paul exhibition instead. That exhibition also never took place. Tank hasn't fought since. Roach later told Inside The Ring: "I never said this publicly, but no, we aren't going to go to arbitration. Because I'm very well taken care of." He thanked "Al Haymon, PBC, and everyone who made things right on his behalf." (via Sports Illustrated, citing Mike Coppinger)
Where Roach is now. On Aug. 1, 2026, in Las Vegas, he lost a unanimous decision to William Zepeda for the vacant WBC lightweight title, 118-110, 117-111 and 117-111 (Fightnews: fightnews.com). That makes him 25-2-3. He has no fight announced, and we found no fresh comment from him on Tank's claim as of 4:55 PM PT.
