Lamont Roach Reacts with Joy to the Resolution of Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ Domestic Violence Case

On July 11, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (who is the WBA lightweight champion and one of boxing’s biggest stars) was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of assault after an alleged domestic violence dispute with his ex-girlfriend (who is also the mother of his two children).

The incident occurred on June 15, when Davis allegedly struck the woman on the back of the head. He also allegedly slapped her in the face while she was removing the children from the back of Davis’ car after he came to pick them up for Father’s Day.

The victim reportedly had a cut on her inner lip as a result of this altercation, and her mother (who appeared on the scene after the reported altercation occurred) had a phone recording where Davis could reportedly be seen throwing an object at his ex-girlfriend.

On August 12, Dylan Segelbaum of the Baltimore Banner broke news that the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office decided against filing charges against Davis. This stemmed from Lindsay Chase, an attorney who represents Davis’ ex-girlfriend, reporting via email that she was declining to prosecute Davis.

Segelbaum’s article also notes that any attempts to contact the ex-girlfriend’s mother have been unsuccessful in the wake of Davis’ arrest, and since the police officer who arrived on the scene hadn’t witnessed any of the alleged altercations take place, he couldn’t be used as a witness.

As a result of this verdict, Gervonta is now free to focus on his boxing career for the time being. Of course, he was scheduled to face Lamont Roach on August 16, in a rematch of their March 1 title fight that ended up being a majority draw.

Many believed that Roach deserved to win that controversial fight for various reasons, which could have resulted in Davis receiving the first loss of his professional career. This is why there was a lot of intrigue about this upcoming rematch, which has since been postponed.

Roach made his feelings about Davis’ case getting dropped clear on X Tuesday, as he responded, “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣” to an X post that featured a video of comedians Druski and Kevin Hart along with streamer Kai Cenat dancing and celebrating together with the caption, “Lamont Roach hearing the Gervonta Davis news today”.

Roach might be thinking that his chances of getting the record straight against Tank in the near future have just become much better, now that this legal case is not an issue.

Anthony Joshua Poised to Ignite Boxing History By Reviving Muhammad Ali’s Most Iconic Moment in Next Showdown

It seems we may now be close to the details of Anthony Joshua’s next fight being announced. For months on end, speculation has been rife in the boxing world regarding who ‘AJ’ will bounce back against following his brutal KO loss to Daniel Dubois last September, and his opponent now seems all but confirmed. Despite there being talk of a potential deal finally being struck for Joshua to fight Tyson Fury, after years of fans being desperate for that fight, as well as rumours of a bizarre matchup against social media superstar turned professional boxer, Jake Paul, it looks like ‘AJ’ will be fighting neither man. Instead, he will likely be sharing the squared circle with a fellow Olympic gold medalist.

Last week, it was revealed by French media outlet L’Equipe that Joshua had told French boxing promoter Yohan Zaoui that there was a 90% chance that his next opponent would be Tony Yoka, who won Olympic gold at the 2016 Olympic Games, and that the fight would take place in December. Although there seems to be plenty of things close to being set in stone for Joshua vs Yoka, one thing which hasn’t been spoken about much is where the fight will take place, however, that changed earlier today, as Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith gave a huge tease and hint as to where the fight could take place.

Although there has been some initial disappointment from boxing fans that Anthony Joshua’s next fight will be against Tony Yoka as opposed to a big heavyweight star, the fight’s location could generate an incredible amount of hype. On Tuesday, the 12th of August, Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith posted a picture to social media of himself inside the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana, seemingly teasing that Joshua vs Yoka could take place in Africa.

A boxing superstar as big as Joshua potentially fighting in Africa is huge news for the sport as well as Africa as a continent, and will give plenty of fans a throwback to what it was like back in 1974, when Muhammad Ali and George Foreman competed against each other at The Rumble in the Jungle in Kinshasa, Zaire, now the Democratic Rebublic of Congo.

Anthony Joshua

The Rumble in the Jungle is to many the most iconic event in the history of boxing, and the most iconic moment of Ali’s legendary career. If ‘AJ’ is able to make the event even a fraction as good and historic as Rumble in the Jungle was, it could revitalise his career.

Anthony Joshua Delivers Ruthless Reply to Proposal from Unbeaten 41-Year-Old Boxing Icon for Return Bout

Anthony Joshua channeled his inner Canelo Alvarez when responding to Andre Ward’s offer for a potential fight.

Joshua is gearing up for his return to the ring, having been inactive since he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September last year.

While he is believed to be making a return in late 2025, or at the beginning of 2026, Joshua’s opponent is yet to be officially announced.

One man that is vying for the spot in the opposite corner is, former professional boxer, Andre Ward.

Ward was a hugely respected pound-for-pound fighter in his heyday, although he has been retired since 2017.

The American left the ring with an unbeaten professional record of 32-0, but is now suggesting he’d make a return if Joshua accepts his offer to fight.

Ward took to Instagram when he suggested in a video: “There’s one name that I brought up before that when you say that name I can see myself fighting him. Present day. Today.

“If the business was right and everything was right on that front, me and Anthony Joshua.

“That’s a fight that I would take at Wembley Stadium. It’s a dangerous fight for my legacy, it’s a dangerous fight across the board. But that’s a fight that would get me in the gym and get me in the mindset that I need to be in to go to war.

Joshua quickly hit back suggesting that this is purely a financial move from Ward.

He savagely said: “Pay Day Pay Day [Canelo voice].”

Which then sparked a back-and-forth between the pair in the comment section of Ward’s post.

To which Joshua replied: “Don’t come asking for multi millions to fight me. Put your pride before your ego and let’s rumble.”

That was where their public interactions came to a close, although Joshua continued to respond to fans remarks in the same comment section.

Who will Anthony Joshua be fighting next?

Ward seemed serious in getting a chance to fight Joshua, but as it stands the Briton is heavily linked to a fight with another American instead.

Paul recently met with Saudi boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh to discuss the terms.

Having already verbally agreed to fight it seems to be a matter of when, not if, we see them share the ring.

Joshua’s long-term promoter and Matchroom Boxing chairman, Eddie Hearn, issued Paul a warning should their bout go ahead.

It seemed to be a humorous idea at one stage, but now as the conversations are progressing we may seriously see a match up between Joshua and the Youtuber-turned-boxer after all.

Charges Against Boxing Superstar Davis Suddenly Dropped in Domestic Case

Domestic violence charges have been dropped against unbeaten world lightweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis over a June incident with his ex-girlfriend.

The Miami-Dade County Clerk’s Office website showed a misdemeanor battery charge was discharged on Tuesday when the woman declined to prosecute Davis.

The 30-year-old American had been involved in a Father’s Day incident outside the home of the woman, who has two children by the fighter, and was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach.

Davis, a southpaw boxer, is 30-0 with one draw and 28 knockouts. His most recent bout was a controversial majority draw against compatriot Lamont Roach in New York last March in which Davis kept the World Boxing Association lightweight crown.

It’s not known when Davis will return to the ring, although there had been talk of a rematch with Roach, 25-1 with two drawn and 10 knockouts, before the arrest.

50 Cent Accuses Floyd Mayweather Of Allegedly Trying To Pawn Off His Belongings

50 Cent is once again taking aim at the legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather, on social media over his finances.
50 Cent claims that his longtime rival, Floyd Mayweather, is allegedly going broke and is even resorting to pawning off his valuables.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, he shared a picture of a golden goblet in his possession as well as an older picture of the boxing legend appearing to drink out of the same one. “Damn champ you pawning sh*t, they just hit me asking do I want it, they want 80K for it call my phone,” 50 captioned the post, as caught by Complex. The actual backstory of the chalice is unclear.

Regardless of the truth, fans shared plenty of laughs in the comments section of the post. “For 80k I’m pawning that sh*t too,” one user admitted. Another theorized: “That is a church chalice used for Communion. My question is how did it end up in a pawn shop?”

JUST IN:Anthony Joshua gives brutal response to offer from undefeated

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have been at odds on social media for ages. Earlier this year, 50 Cent teased Mayweather for a comment he made on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon about his real estate portfolio. “I don’t know the exact number. I own, right now, somewhere upwards of 100 buildings or more, I think 99% of my buildings are in New York City,” Mayweather said on the show in April.

50 shared the clip on Instagram and immediately cast doubt on his claim. “Oh my God. If there safe to say, I should say LOL. Champ is the richest special ed student. LMAO,” he wrote. Taking to the comments section, he further added: “Oh sh*t wait I think Champ think he own them buildings. They beating him out of the money. He saying he don’t know what he own… Somebody tell champ he just publicly said he live in NY. They will come and take 58% of any income he has.”

He also took aim at Mayweather in May, when the boxing legend decided to file a defamation lawsuit against Business Insider. Mayweather was upset about an article the outlet published downplaying the likelihood of him actually owning so many buildings in New York City. “Well that case is going nowhere because you didn’t do the deal champ. He must must have named the writer separately to make him have to pay his own legal team. Champ mad,” 50 wrote on social media.

Anthony Joshua gives brutal response to offer from undefeated 41-year-old boxing legend for comeback fight

He savagely said: “Pay Day Pay Day [Canelo voice].”

Which then sparked a back-and-forth between the pair in the comment section of Ward’s post.

Anthony Joshua’s next fight could land in Africa in December against Olympic gold medallist

Tony Yoka believes a fight with Anthony Joshua could take place in Ghana in December.

The Frenchman has been linked as a possible opponent for AJ in recent weeks as speculation ramps up over the Watford powerhouse’s next steps.

Joshua hasn’t boxed since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September, but is expected to return to the ring at the back end of this year.

READ: Joshua Accused of ‘Selling His Soul’ Amid

Reports persist that Joshua could meet YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a crossover clash in the coming months.

However, Yoka insists the Brit’s team are scouting locations for a showdown with him in Africa.

“His team has just left for Ghana to see what the sports facilities are like,” Yoka told L’Equipe.

“There is a possibility that the fight will take place in Africa.

“A lot of people are talking about it, and it could revive boxing in France.

“If it comes to fruition, it will indeed generate enormous interest.”

Despite Yoka’s confidence that the fight will happen, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn insists that Paul remains the ‘frontrunner’ to box his client next.

Last week, he even went as far as to suggest that there have been no talks with Yoka’s team.

Yet the Parisians’ co-promoter Yohan Zaoui claims AJ told him that he was ’90 per cent sure’ he would be facing Yoka next when they bumped into each other in Southern Cyprus.

“Who do I run into this morning at the pool? Joshua!” Zaoui told L’Equipe.

“He’s also on vacation with his family, with his younger brother and his nieces and nephews. I chatted with him for a few minutes. He’s humble and kind…

“He told me that his next opponent would certainly be French.

“He told me that he had the option of facing the American YouTuber Jake Paul, but that 90 per cent of the time it would be Yoka.

“I asked him his prediction. He told me that there was no easy fight.”

Yoka succeeded Joshua as the Olympic super heavyweight gold medallist at Rio 2016, but has struggled to adjust to life in the professional ranks.

After a perfect 11-0 start, he suffered a three-fight skid to Martin Bakole, Carlos Takam, and Ryad Merhy before subsequently linking up with new trainer Don Charles in an attempt to revive his career.

Charles famously masterminded Dubois’ victory over Joshua last year and has guided Yoka to three wins in 12 months.

Former World Champion Delivers Verdict on Possible Showdown

Former World Champion Delivers Verdict on Possible Showdown Between Anthony Joshua and ‘Mastermind’ Jake Paul

‘The Problem Child’ has been taking boxing media by storm with claims that he will fight former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in 2026.

While it may still be seen as an unlikely scenario, Eddie Hearn has confirmed talks of the ‘mismatch’, and in a recent interview, has said the American is now the likely ‘front-runner’ for the heavyweight’s next fight.

Joshua’s trainer believes the clash is ‘dangerous’ for the 28-year-old novice, but it hasn’t stopped Paul’s team at Most Valuable Promotions from meeting with Matchroom to try and work out a deal for what could be a massive showdown in monetary terms

The fight has been compared to the 2017 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor for the amount of money on offer, plus the likely spectacle of the show.

However, the ex-YouTube star does not have the same fighting pedigree as the former UFC champion.

While it may seem an extraordinary conversation to be happening, former world cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson can’t help but praise ‘El Gallo’ for staying in the limelight.

Oleksandr Usyk

Nelson spoke to Boxing King Media about the ongoing saga of the fight and explained: “I think the kid has kidded the kidders, as in Jake Paul (is a) genius. Now you’re talking Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua in the same sentence.

“Do I think it’ll happen? No, I don’t. But Jake Paul’s done the job. He’s got the whole world talking about Jake Paul, a domestic fighter, fighting a former two-time heavyweight champion of the world.”

Paul is no stranger to getting the boxing world talking; his fight with 58-year-old Mike Tyson was hugely controversial, and, most recently, he squared off with Oleksandr Usyk after his fight with Daniel Dubois.

The longest-reigning cruiserweight champion of all time would not blame AJ for taking the money, but it would tell us where Joshua’s head is at in terms of competing at the highest level.

“So, if by some miracle it does happen, that tells me AJ is cashing… With something big like we’re talking 250 million, I’d do it if I were AJ at this stage of his career and getting paid that kind of dough,” Nelson said.

Gervonta davis

“Jake Paul has played a blinder. It’s not going to happen. And if it does, then you know, AJ is basically saying, ‘Thank you, (I’m) gone’.”

‘The Entertainer’ may be right that the bout won’t take place, but if it does, UK fans won’t be able to experience it live in the country.

Even though ‘El Gallo’ had mentioned on the Usyk vs Dubois rematch broadcast that he would like it to take place in Wembley Stadium, the British Boxing Board of Control would likely not sanction the bout.

According to Sky Sports, there is ‘no guarantee’ the BBBofC will give Paul a professional license due to a lack of in-ring experience against a dangerous heavyweight.

After meetings in New York at the weekend, no further news on the bout has come out from either camp, but with fight week in Riyadh, expect Hearn to provide more update

Hall of famer Andre Ward Has Revealed That One Fight That Could Tempt Him Back Into The Ring, Me And Anthony Joshua

Boxing Hall of Famer Andre Ward has sent shockwaves through the combat sports world by revealing the one fight that could lure him out of retirement — a blockbuster showdown with former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.

Ward, 41, retired undefeated in 2017 with a record of 32–0, cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s most technically gifted fighters. Known for his defensive mastery, ring intelligence, and adaptability, the former super middleweight and light heavyweight champion has consistently resisted calls for a comeback — until now.

In a recent interview, Ward admitted that while most fights don’t interest him, the idea of facing Joshua in front of a roaring U.K. crowd would be enough to reignite his competitive fire.

“Me and Anthony Joshua“

“Me and Anthony Joshua — that is a fight I would take at Wembley Stadium,” Ward said. “If I’m ever coming back, it would have to be for something truly special, and that’s one of the few that fits the bill.”

READ MORE : ‘Run him over’ – Oleksandr Usyk called out by Anthony Joshua’s bitter rival in…

The matchup would be nothing short of a stylistic and size spectacle. Ward, who last fought at light heavyweight, would be moving up dramatically to face the 6’6” power-punching Joshua — a man with Olympic gold credentials and a history of thrilling nights at Wembley. For fans, it’s a fantasy fight blending pure boxing skill against raw heavyweight power.

Anthony Joshua

Joshua, currently on a resurgence after regaining form in recent outings, has yet to respond publicly to Ward’s comments. But the potential pairing has already sparked a flurry of debate online. Could Ward’s technical brilliance neutralize Joshua’s size and strength? Or would the jump in weight prove too steep, even for one of the sport’s most cerebral tacticians?

While Ward made it clear he’s not announcing a comeback just yet, his willingness to name an opponent has fueled speculation that boxing may witness one of the most surprising returns in modern history. And if it happens, Wembley Stadium could be the stage for a cross-generational clash that fans never saw coming.

Davis’s Legal Troubles Cast Shadow Over A Recent Battery Arrest On June 15—have stirred further uncertainty about the bout’s future

The future of the long-awaited rematch between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. has been thrown into deeper uncertainty following Davis’s recent run-in with the law.

On June 15, the undefeated lightweight star was arrested on battery charges, marking the latest in a string of off-ring legal issues. The arrest has reignited concerns over whether the fight—once scheduled for this summer—will move forward at all.

Davis, a three-division world champion known for his devastating knockout power, was already facing scrutiny after the controversial outcome of his March 1, 2025, bout with Roach, which ended in a majority draw. The contentious decision, fueled by debate over a ninth-round knockdown, led to intense calls for an immediate rematch. That bout was initially set for August, but scheduling hurdles and now Davis’s legal troubles have left the fight in limbo.

Promoters have yet to announce a new date, and insiders say Davis’s court proceedings could play a significant role in determining the bout’s future. While his camp has denied speculation about retirement, the arrest has undoubtedly complicated negotiations and promotional plans.

For Lamont Roach Jr., the delay is another frustrating chapter in a rivalry that has captured the attention of boxing fans. The Washington, D.C. native has remained vocal about his desire to run it back, while Davis’s focus appears increasingly divided between his legal defense and his career inside the ropes.

As the case develops, the boxing world watches closely. The outcome will determine whether the Davis-Roach rivalry reignites in the ring—or fades into what-might-have-been territory.
