The rivalries between pugilists make a contest more interesting. In a similar context, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero and Gervonta Davis are going to square off in the ring. As the countdown for the fight has begun, the exchange between the pair has become more intense.

Recently, in an interview with ‘The Schmo’, the undefeated lightweight targeted the champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis with bold remarks.

He said, “Well, I mean he has twice as many fights as me. You know, so obviously he’s a more popular fighter… I mean, like we just saw what the hell happened to f**king Canelo. I mean, I’m pretty sure I got way more to beat the sh*t out of Tank than Bivol had to beat the sh*t out of Canelo.”

Notably, in an epic clash between Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol, the Russian registered the biggest upset of the year, stunning audiences worldwide.

According to ‘Rolly,’ he is also going to pull one of the biggest upsets in the lightweight division.
