Lamont Roach Jr. has just thrown down a shocking $250K challenge to Gervonta Davis, adding a dramatic new twist to their long-awaited showdown! The pair will lock horns for the first time in the professional scene since their two fights in the amateurs. The exciting PBC-promoted fight on Amazon Prime Video will unfold at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 

Davis, of course, defeated Roach during their amateur career. Despite that, the WBA Super Featherweight champion is confident about his chances of beating Davis, who is the obvious favorite going into the fight on March 1st. Regardless, the bout has just turned even more interesting with hours left in the showdown. 

This dramatic moment took place during their intense final face-off at the weigh-ins, setting the stage for a heated showdown. But you might be wondering—what exactly went down? As the two fighters stood toe-to-toe, tensions ran high. Gervonta Davis, exuding confidence, looked Roach in the eye and declared, “Imma stop you! Wanna bet?”

Without missing a beat, Roach, refusing to back down, upped the stakes with a bold counteroffer: “$250K.” ‘Tank’ loved the offer, wasting no time in sealing the deal with a firm handshake. With a confident grin, he doubled down on his prediction, declaring, “250K?! BET! Ima stop him, watch!”

Meanwhile, Davis’ former opponent has revealed what he thinks would happen when Davis and Roach meet in the ring. 

Frank Martin says someone’s getting whooped—Gervonta Davis or Lamont Roach Jr.? 

Frank Martin knows firsthand how dangerous Gervonta Davis is. After suffering an eighth-round stoppage loss to Tank last June, Martin isn’t giving Lamont Roach Jr. much of a shot this Saturday night at the Barclays Center. “Tank’s gonna whoop him,” Martin told ESNEWS.

Roach, the reigning WBA super featherweight champion, is moving up in weight, fresh off a stoppage victory over Feargal McCrory. However, Martin remains unimpressed, seeing Roach as nothing more than a minor obstacle for Davis.

“Roach is a decent fighter,” Martin admitted. “But Tank gonna dog him.” While fans are eager to see Davis in matchups against the likes of Shakur Stevenson and Vasyl Lomachenko, Roach is determined to derail those plans.

Having said that, it appears Lamont Roach Jr. is not just about to lose the upcoming fight but also a significant portion of his earnings from the fight. However, there’s a miniscule chance that Roach will cause an upset. Do you think it’s possible?
