Gervonta Davis returns to the ring in December, fans disappointed

Gervonta Davis, an undefeated boxer with a record of 30-0 and 28 KOs, is scheduled to return to the ring in December 2024. However, the opponent he has chosen, Roach, has drawn criticism from fans due to his lack of notoriety and proven knockout power. Roach, who holds a world title and has a record of 25-1-1 with 10 KOs, is moving up in weight, which could pose challenges in the matchup. Many fans had hoped for a more high-profile fight, such as a bout against IBF champion Vasyl Lomachenko or Shakur Stevenson, but those matchups seem unlikely until 2025. The reaction from the boxing community has been mixed, with many questioning the legitimacy of Roach as a challenger to Davis, who is considered one of the biggest names in the sport. This upcoming fight has not generated the excitement that typically surrounds a Davis match, highlighting the disparity between his star power and that of his opponent.
