There has been a contractual agreement between Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero to fight on May 28 for Davis' WBA lightweight title on Showtime PPV at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The two were set to fight on Dec. 5 of 2021 in Los Angeles, but Romero was pulled from the matchup after being accused of sexual assault. After the Romero situation came about, Davis went on to defeat Isaac Cruz by a hard fought unanimous decision at the Staple Center in Las Angeles, CA. The Henderson Police Department in Nevada concluded that there was no clear evidence to charge Romero with the crime of sexual assault.
The Baltimore, MD native Davis (26-0, 24 KO's) is looking to put on a more than solid performance against Romero to overshadow the twelve rounds of tough boxing he had against Isaac Cruz.
The underrated and hard hitting Romero (14-0, 12 KO's) is coming off consecutive TKO victories over Avery Sparrow on January 23, 2021 and Anthony Yigit on July 17, 2021. He is looking to prove himself to be one of the best in the division.
