Lamont Roach Jr. Seeks To Capture Héctor Luis Garcia’s WBA Title


After winning the purse bid earlier this year on May 25, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions, the primary promoter for Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions agreed to add Roach Jr, and Garcia to the David Benavidez-Demetrius Andrade undercard November 25 in Las Vegas. Roach is the WBA’s mandatory challenger for the 130-pound championship.

Garcia (16-1, 10 KO's, 3 NC) verses Roach Jr. (23-1-1, 9 KO's) will be one of three bouts broadcast by Showtime Pay-Per-View before Benavidez and Andrade square off in the 12-round main event at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Michelob ULTRA Arena.

The undercard will include WBC middleweight champ Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KO's) taking on Jose Benavidez Jr. (28-2-1, 19 KO's) in the 12-round co-feature.
