Rolando Romero Likely Out of Dec. 5 Bout Amid Recent Sexual Assault Allegation

Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime are in advanced discussions to remove Rolando Romero from his scheduled Dec. 5 fight against Gervonta Davis due to accusations of sexual assault against Romero, sources told Sports Illustrated.

The alleged victim, Izabel Zambrano, 24, a Las Vegas resident, went public on social media last week about an incident she says occurred in the fall of 2019. In an interview with SI, Zambrano reiterated the account she posted on Twitter of the alleged assault, which she claims happened at Romero’s Las Vegas apartment after a game of Connect 4.
