About Lamont Roach
Roach does not boast the unbeaten record Davis does, but still holds a mighty record.
He comes into the fight at 25-1-1.
Roach, residing from Washington, DC, lost out on the WBO super featherweight title against Jamal Herring in 2019, but won four on the bounce to recover.
He won his first title against Hector Luis Garcia in November 2023, winning the WBA super featherweight title.
Davis has been allowed to step up a weight division to fight Davis, and should he win, would have five days to decide if he would want to keep the super featherweight or lightweight title.
