A rematch for the WBA lightweight championship title is set to take place on August 16 in Las Vegas. The event, promoted by Premier Boxing Champions, will once again feature Gervonta Davis, holding a record of 30 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw (28 by knockout), against Lamont Roach, with a record of 25 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws (10 by knockout).
This second bout between Davis and Roach was initially planned for June 21 but was subsequently postponed, pushing the date back by several weeks. Their first encounter occurred on March 1 in New York and controversially ended in a draw.
The initial fight in the United States was broadcast using the Pay-Per-View model, attracting a reported 260,000 purchases. Ticket sales for that event also proved successful, generating approximately $6.5 million in revenue.
