Gervonta Davis looks to be firing on all cylinders ahead of his upcoming clash.

‘Tank’ is set to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Roach is the reigning WBA super featherweight champion and has received ‘special permission’ from the major sanctioning body to move up in weight and challenge for a world title in a second division while retaining his 130lbs belt.

Davis was elevated from ‘regular’ to full WBA world champion in November 2023 when Devin Haney relinquished the black and gold strap.

The Baltimore banger defended the full world title for the first time in June with an eighth-round knockout win over Frank Martin and he is now set to make his second defence against Roach.

Roach snatched the WBA super featherweight title away from Hector Luis Garcia via split decision in November 2023 and successfully retained it against Feargal McCrory in June.

Davis is aware of the quality Roach possesses from their two fights in the amateurs and is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for their trilogy bout in the pros.

The 30-year-old is hard at work in the gym and recently showed off his blistering hand speed in a pad routine with his coach Patrice Harris, which fans watched with amazement.

Reacting to the 13-second clip, one supporter commented: “Now he is looking sharp.”
