Lamont Roach has a strong message for Gervonta “Tank” Davis as they gear up for their upcoming fight on March 1st at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Roach confidently stated that he plans to knock out Davis and ultimately force him into retirement.
Roach, a super featherweight with a record of 25-1, is well aware of Davis’ intentions to retire at the end of the year. However, he is determined to disrupt Davis’ plans by delivering a knockout blow that will expedite his exit from the sport.
“I worked my ass off for this fight,” Roach emphasized. “If he’s on his way out, why not kick his ass out?!”
Despite being seen as a major underdog in the upcoming bout, Roach remains unfazed by the doubt surrounding his chances of victory. Davis, an undefeated southpaw often compared to a young Mike Tyson, is considered the face of boxing. However, Roach sees this challenge as an opportunity to prove himself and silence his critics.
“I like to prove people wrong and I damn sure like to prove myself right,” Roach asserted. “Right now, they really got me messed up. So, you know, I got it on the agenda to upset a lot of people.”
Roach envisions the fight with Davis as the beginning of his legacy in the sport. Following this showdown, he plans to take on another champion at either 130 or 135 pounds. His ultimate goal is to establish himself as the best in his division and solidify his place among the elite fighters in the sport.
In conclusion, Roach is confident that his upcoming battle with Davis will be one for the ages and a pivotal moment in his career. With his sights set on proving his worth and cementing his legacy, Roach is poised to make a statement in the boxing world and show that he is a force to be reckoned with.
