Arch-rivals Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero will cross paths in 2022. Last year, the duo was supposed to square off with each other for Davis’ WBA lightweight regular belt. Unfortunately, as Rolando Romero found himself in a controversy, he withdrew from the fight.

After ‘Tank’ defended his belt against Cruz, WBA opted to order him to defend his belt against ‘Rolly’, on a yet-to-be-announced date.

Nobody expected this matchup to come to fruition after what happened last year. However, Romero himself was optimistic about bagging this fight. He had spoken about the same last year and now he seems to have gotten his wish after the WBA’s order.

On December 5, Davis faced a stern test as Cruz was a rugged opponent. Although he wasn’t on Romero’s level to go after Davis, he tried everything in favor to keep ‘Tank’ on his toes.
