Gervonta 'Tank' Davis finally gets to face Rolando Romero after their inital bout in December was delayed.
Romero was the subject of a sexual assault case which resulted in the 26-year-old being replaced by Isaac Cruz. The case since then has been dropped.
Now Romero will be looking to pull off a huge upset against one of boxing's hardest punchers, who will also have an eye on getting a world title shot with a win.
Championships
This will be Romero's first attempt at winning a world title, albeit this fight is for the WBA (regular) world lightweight title, not the 'super' title which is held by George Kambosos Jr.
Biggest win
With just 14 professional fights on his record, Romero is still a relative novice in the sport, but his most recent win which was a seventh round stoppage win against Anthony Yigit in July 2021 - the biggest success of his career so far.
Yigit boasted a 24-1-1 record going into the fight making him the most experienced opponent Romero has faced, and to stop someone with significant experience in just your 14th fight, it's an achievement to be commended.
