Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ long-anticipated rematch with Lamont Roach Jr. is once again in limbo, as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) scrambles to find a new date. Originally targeted for August 16 in Las Vegas, the WBA lightweight title rematch now appears to be tentatively shifting toward August 23 or August 30 and even those dates remain uncertain.

Davis’ June 15 alleged domestic assault and his arrest this past Friday have significantly clouded his immediate future. His legal troubles could affect licensing and logistics for any upcoming fight. Training Disruption. Reports indicate Davis stopped training for nearly three weeks before his arrest.
