It’s about Redemption Not Repeat: Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Ready for High-Stakes Las Vegas Rematch

The countdown is on, and the stakes could not be higher. On August 16, 2025, the boxing world will shift its gaze to the glittering lights of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Lamont “The Reaper” Roach Jr. will step back into the ring for a rematch that has been brewing ever since their controversial first meeting earlier this year.

For Davis, it’s about redemption—reclaiming his dominance and silencing critics who questioned his performance in their initial clash. For Roach, it’s about proving that March’s outcome was no accident and that he has what it takes to outsmart and outwork one of the sport’s most feared punchers.

Their first showdown on March 1, 2025, ended in a majority draw, a decision that sent shockwaves through the boxing community. In a fight filled with tension, tactical shifts, and bursts of explosive exchanges, the most talked-about moment came in the ninth round when Davis took a knee—without an official knockdown call—sparking widespread confusion.

While some analysts argued that Roach’s defensive discipline and sharp counters earned him enough rounds to warrant the draw, others maintained that Davis’s power and ring control made him the rightful victor. The debate raged on, making a rematch not just inevitable, but essential.

Gervonta Davis is no stranger to the big stage or to pressure. With a reputation for devastating knockouts and an undefeated record on the line, the Baltimore native thrives under the spotlight. But the draw against Roach was a rare moment of vulnerability—a blemish in a career built on finishing fights in emphatic fashion.

“I’m not leaving it to the judges this time,” Davis declared in a recent press conference. “Last fight, things got messy. This time, I’m coming to dominate from the opening bell.”

Lamont Roach Jr., meanwhile, enters this rematch brimming with confidence. Known for his technical precision and patient approach, the Washington D.C. native has often been overlooked in discussions about the sport’s elite. That changed after March 1, when he stood toe-to-toe with “Tank” and refused to back down.

“They said I couldn’t handle his power, but I proved them wrong,” Roach said. “Now I’m going to prove it wasn’t luck. I can beat him, and in Vegas, the world’s going to see it.”

Former World Champion Warns: Terence Crawford Could ‘Bully’ Canelo Alvarez with a Shock Game Plan Set to Stun Fans

A former world champion believes Terence Crawford uses a ‘surprise’ game plan for his September 13th fight.

Both Canelo Alvarez and Crawford have remained quiet in the media as their fight camps begin their final stages, but it hasn’t stopped ex-professionals analysing the fight

One former Canelo opponent provided one ‘key’ piece of advice to help the American beat his foe by using his movement to unsettle the Mexican.

But the 37-year-old is still going to struggle coming up in weight, even if he looks the bigger man on the night, it is still a full-fledged super middleweight in front of him.

Terence Crawford could ‘surprise’ and ‘bully’ Canelo Alvarez, says former world champion

A victory over the undisputed super middleweight champion would be his third undisputed title win, in a weight class 21 lbs above the last time he won all the belts at welterweight.

His Errol Spence Jr performance is regarded as the best of his career for his nine-round domination of the second-best of the division at that time.

The game plan, which saw him outmuscle Spence Jr, is one that Paulie Malignaggi, former IBF super lightweight champion, points to as the way to ‘surprise’ his next rival.

Anthony Joshua

In a video with BoxingScene, Malignaggi said: “(Erislandy) Lara stayed true to his qualities, which is his boxing. He stayed true to his identity. I don’t know that Crawford is not going to stay true to his identity.

Maybe you want to muscle around Canelo. One thing at least that surprised me in the Errol Spence fight was how physically strong Crawford was in manhandling Spence. He was hurting him with punches, but he was also physically manhandling him.”

‘Magic Man’ had spoken about the successes of Erislandy Lara in his matchup with the 35-year-old Guadalajaran, which did not earn him a win on the cards but tested the current Mexican great.

The outspoken Italian-American has previously said the challenger is a more complete fighter than the four-division champion, Alvarez, and thinks fans will be ‘surprised’ by his plan for the contest.

“I mean, at 38 years old, you don’t just suddenly lose your identity. But this may be a situation where he may also want to surprise us and maybe try to bully Canelo in spots,” he said.

Former contender believes Terence Crawford cannot hurt Canelo Alvarez

Although others have doubted whether the Omaha fighter can even make a dent in his opponent in Las Vegas, Gabe Rosado believes the power of fighters from different weight classes is not the same, even when a fighter moves up.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Rosado explained sparring a bigger man is different to facing a naturally heavier boxer with 10-oz gloves on.

He said: “I don’t see how Crawford could hurt Canelo because Canelo’s been in there with (Sergey) Kovalev. He’s been in there with (Dmitry) Bivol.

“He’s been in there with big punchers. How can a guy that’s really a 147-pounder, even though he’s up in weight, I don’t see how he could hurt (Canelo).”

‘Bud’ was previously pushed to the limit by Olympian Israil Madrimov at super welterweight, and detractors of the one-time 154-pound titleholder have used it as an example of why he may struggle against Saul Alvarez.

Boxing trainer confidently predicts Terence Crawford will turn Canelo Alvarez showdown into a ‘Tom and Jerry’ chase.

Terence Crawford vs Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is one of the most anticipated boxing events of the year, and it will be a marquee week for boxing fans around the world.

Dana White of the UFC will collaborate with Turki Alalshikh to put on a week of boxing matches before the big finale in Las Vegas.

No one is sure what the American’s game plan will be, considering he has a disadvantage in weight, but one former world champion believes he may ‘bully’ Canelo.

Terence Crawford will make the Canelo Alvarez clash a ‘Tom and Jerry’ fight

While the Mexican is seen as a ‘massive favourite’ by Carl Froch, the majority of boxing’s most respected voices have backed Crawford to beat the 35-year-old, with a minority believing a late stoppage may be a reality.

However, the boxing trainer Jose Benavidez Sr is not convinced that ‘Bud’ will even take the fight to the undisputed super middleweight champion.

Terence Crawford

Benavidez is not as impressed with the 37-year-old from Omaha as others inside the sport are, and believes this is not going to be a contest the fans will enjoy.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, he said: “I think it’s going to be a Tom and Jerry fight, at the end of the day, Crawford has not been looking really good. We saw how he looked at his past fight. Canelo, the reflexes are not there, his power is not there.

“The knees are not the same. Canelo is going to try to knock him out, but Crawford is going to do what he does best. He’s going to move around, try to win the rounds.”

The last two performances of the former undisputed welterweight champion have been vastly different from one another.

Arguably his greatest career performance against Errol Spence Jr in 2023 ended with a ninth-round knockout, whereas his most recent victory, in a weight division above, saw him have some trouble with Olympian Israil Madrimov.

It is the latter performance that Sr thinks viewers should expect.

“If Crawford stays, Canelo can knock him out because Canelo is a bigger guy. I don’t think Crawford’s going to come and give the fans what they want. He doesn’t care,” he said.

Federer Announces Triumphant Comeback – Swiss Legend to Compete in 2025 Shanghai Masters After Three-Year Absence

20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is making a memorable comeback at the 2025 Shanghai Masters by playing in the “Roger & Friends” celebrity doubles event on October 10.

Roger Federer is gearing up for a memorable comeback at the 2025 Shanghai Masters. On August 10, he revealed he will play in the “Roger & Friends” celebrity doubles event on October 10 at Qizhong Stadium. This will be his first time competing in Shanghai since his 2017 victory, where he won his second singles title at the tournament.

The exhibition promises an exciting mix of participants, featuring Chinese tennis standout Zhang Zhizhen, Olympic table tennis gold medalist Fan Zhendong, legendary retired table tennis player Wang Liqin, and popular singer Eason Chan.

World Boxing Star Tyson Fury Open Up On Why He Resorted to Cocaine to Cope with His Struggle Against Depression.

World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury says he has been taking cocaine to help him deal with depression.

The British fighter said he has suffered mental health issues for years and has not trained since May.

“I’ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine,” Fury, 28, told Rolling Stone magazine.

It comes two days after Fury claimed on social media to have retired, before retracting the comment three hours later, saying it was a joke.

Speaking about his mental health issues, Fury added: “I can’t deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of my mind.

“They say I’ve got a version of bipolar. I’m a manic depressive. I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself.”

Fury beat Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko last November to win the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles. It was 40-year-old Klitschko’s first loss since 2004.

Within two weeks, Fury was stripped of the IBF title because he was unable to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.

A rematch with Klitschko was cancelled in July – with Fury citing injury – and the bout was rescheduled for 29 October at Manchester Arena.

However, that has also been called off, with Fury’s uncle and trainer Peter Fury saying he does not expect to see his nephew in the ring again until 2017.

Fury, who is from the traveller community, told Rolling Stone he had been the victim of a “witch hunt” following his win over Klitschko, claiming he had even been turned away from restaurants with his family because of his heritage.

He said: “I’m the heavyweight champion of the world and I’ve been told, ‘Sorry mate, you can’t come in, no travellers allowed’.

“I used to love boxing when I was a kid. I hate boxing now.”

Fury faces a UK Anti-Doping hearing in November after traces of a banned substance were allegedly found in a urine sample in June.

Fury told Rolling Stone he had taken cocaine only in recent months, once he had stopped training, and had never taken performance-enhancing substances.

“I Have His Word” – Turki Alalshikh Drops Jaw-Dropping Hint on Tyson Fury’s Next Fight

‘The Gypsy King’ had stated that he was ‘happy’ and ‘content’ with his career and that he wouldn’t be returning.

However, he has hinted that he would only step back in the ring if he was able to fight Usyk for the third time.

And now, it seems the former heavyweight champion has had his wish granted.

Saudi boxing chief Alalshikh announced on X on Wednesday that Fury had given his word that he will come out of retirement.

He posted: “The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026.”

Alalshikh then included a reference to a ‘rabbit’, which is a reference to what Fury had labelled Usyk throughout their rivalry.

The announcement also included a picture of Fury alongside Alalshikh with the pair shaking hands.

A potential comeback will also give boxing fans hope of an all-British fight with former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua has refused to rule out a monumental clash with Fury, and now there is a chance it may end up finally happening.

Fury would be delighted to have the chance to take on Usyk again after losing his heavyweight titles in their undisputed bout.

On wanting to right some supposed wrongs, the ‘Gypsy King’ has since explained: “If I was gonna come back, I’d come back for Usyk.

“But I want a fair result in England. That’d be the one I want, immediately. That’d be the fight that I’d want next.

“In England. I only want a f*****g fair fight! I don’t want any favours, I want a fair fight, a fair result.

Explosive Victory: Emma Raducanu brushed aside Olga Danilovic at the Cincinnati Open to make a confident start with her new coach.

The British number one has added Rafael Nadal’s former coach Francis Roig to her team on a full-time basis as she prepares for the upcoming US Open.

And the surprise 2021 champion in New York cruised to a 6-3 6-2 win in her first match since the Spaniard came aboard.

Danilovic beat British number three Katie Boulter in the first round while Raducanu had a bye, and the Serbian number one broke Raducanu to love in the first game of Saturday’s match.

After four breaks of serve between the pair in the opening five games, Raducanu came from 30-0 down to grab another and make it 5-3, before serving out the set with an ace.

In the second set, Raducanu, 22, drew errors from her 24-year-old opponent and eventually earned a break for 3-2.

From that point, the world number 39, ranked four spots higher than Danilovic, did not drop another game as she booked her spot in the third round in Ohio.

“I’m really building some momentum. I’m really happy with how I’ve stayed pretty consistent over the last few months,” said Raducanu.

“I still feel like there’s a long way to go but just working hard behind the scenes, putting a lot of hours in and hoping I can trust in that.”

Raducanu will next face world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who beat her at Wimbledon last month in two tight sets.

Sabalenka, playing for the first time since losing in the Wimbledon semi-finals, progressed 7-5 6-1 against Czech Marketa Vondrousova.

Sabalenka faced and saved 12 break points in the match before securing victory.

Earlier, Poland’s Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek eased through to the last 32 with a 6-1 6-4 win over Russian Anastasia Potapova.

Australian Open champion Madison Keys of the United States saved two match points before beating Germany’s Eva Lys 1-6 6-3 7-6 (7-1).

With Explosive Hint Gervonta Davis and Deontay Wilder Ignite Boxing World with Explosive Hint at Mega-Fight Showdown

Let’s clear up any confusion right from the start: the author of this article does not intend to compare Gervonta Davis and Deontay Wilder in terms of their boxing skills. The two American athletes are completely different in style and characteristics, with Davis undoubtedly possessing a far superior technical repertoire compared to his compatriot. However, there is one aspect, purely psychological, where a potential parallel can be drawn between the Bronze Bomber and the small puncher from Baltimore.

After becoming world champion in January 2015, Deontay Wilder remained on the WBC throne for more than five years, successfully defending his world title ten times. In each of those ten defenses, he entered the ring as a clear favorite.

However, despite always retaining his crown, several of his performances were far from perfect. Sometimes he fell behind on the scorecards, sometimes he was shaken by his opponent’s punches, and sometimes he displayed significant technical flaws. Nevertheless, his inhuman right-hand power always bailed him out, allowing him to keep both his belt and his unbeaten record.

This string of victories against lower-level opponents, while solidifying Wilder’s status as an elite heavyweight of his era, also had a significant and not entirely beneficial impact on the American boxer’s psyche. The Bronze Bomber became convinced that his right hand would always save him and that the numerous imperfections in his game plan were essentially insignificant and unworthy of excessive attention.

Wilder genuinely believed he no longer needed to improve, a conviction he repeatedly expressed in various interviews as world champion. For instance, in Rome, he told Italian journalists that technique in heavyweight boxing is not that important, and after his second victory over Cuban Luis Ortiz, he stated that his opponents must be perfect for 36 minutes, whereas he only needs to be perfect for 2 seconds.

Gervonta Davis Issues Explosive Demand for Lamont Roach Rematch After Fiery Social Media Clash — What Happens Next?

GERVONTA DAVIS has expressed his interest in an immediate rematch with Lamont Roach Jr, despite previously claiming that he would face a different opponent next.

‘Tank’ was taken the distance for only the third time in his career, with Roach, 25-1-2 (10 KOs) producing an assertive performance before suffering a controversial draw last Saturday.

The pair squared off on an absorbing encounter at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, headlining an Amazon Prime pay-per-view card.

But while Davis, 30-0-1 (28 KOs), was a firm favourite heading into their clash, the only fighter left feeling truly aggrieved by the judges’ scorecards was Roach.

In the ninth round, referee Steve Willis issued a count in response to Davis taking a knee, but then ruled it a no-knockdown shortly after the Baltimore bruiser sprung back to his feet.

Naturally, the incident has been a major point of criticism, with Roach ultimately being denied a 10-8 round that would have swung the result in his favour.

After retaining his WBA world lightweight title, Davis then told media members at his post-fight press conference that a rematch is unlikely to happen next.

In doing so, he also hinted that, despite wanting a second encounter with Roach, an opponent for his next outing has already been lined up.

But now, while responding to a post from ‘The Reaper’ on X, Davis has insisted that he is actively pursuing the rematch.

He wrote: “Your b**** ass just happy you didn’t get knocked out. Your dad was jumping up and down in the corner when yall made it to the 12 rd.

“And say no more. I’m pushing for the rematch.”

Donald Trump’s Granddaughter Amasses a Fortune Surpassing His — The Stunning Reason Behind Her Skyrocketing Wealth

Say what you will about the Trump family, but “routine” is not in their vocabulary. The White House can now add another surreal milestone to its résumé: Kai Trump, the eldest granddaughter of arguably the world’s most talked-about dynasty, second only to the Kardashians, is just 18 and already giving her grandfather, yes, President Donald Trump himself, a lesson in modern-day wealth management.

Once upon a time, the path to millions ran through oil fields or casinos. For Gen Z, it starts with a TikTok feed, an energy drink sponsorship deal, and a perfectly curated look featuring a golf club in hand.

Kai is more than just “Trump’s granddaughter.” She’s a financial outlier in a family where money is hardly scarce. Her father, Donald Trump Jr., is a media strategist and a contender in the family’s unofficial scandal competition. Her mother, Vanessa, a former model and high-society fixture, has been in a high-profile relationship with golf legend and scandal magnet Tiger Woods since her 2018 divorce from Trump Jr.

So what does life look like when you’re a social media star pulling in five times the salary of the US president? In case you missed it, Grandpa Donald earns about $400,000 a year as president, a modest sum compared to the $2.5 million Kai rakes in annually. Her income stems from a combination of her rising career as a professional golfer, her wildly successful social media presence with partnerships including TaylorMade Golf and sports drinks, and a $16 million family trust fund sitting pretty at JPMorgan.

Tiger woods

The secret to it all? The NIL law – short for Name, Image, Likeness – which has transformed any young person with millions of followers into an endless marketing machine.

Despite out-earning her grandfather by a wide margin, Kai still knows how to show him respect when it counts. Her speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which followed the attempted assassination of Trump, went viral. She took the stage to recall how her grandfather “hands out candy and asks about grades.”

Since then, she’s become a full-fledged influencer, amassing millions of followers and leveraging them into commercial deals worth tens of millions of dollars. Along the way, she also starred in a viral video where she appeared to be working at Starbucks and celebrated her 18th birthday with friends, footage that drew sharp backlash online for portraying her as a privileged teen out of touch with the harsh realities around her.
