CBSN
The WBA lightweight champion is back in action against a childhood rival
For the first time since last June, one of boxing's biggest stars returns to the ring on Saturday as Gervonta "Tank" Davis defends his WBA lightweight title.
Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) will headline a PBC on Prime pay-per-view card inside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, when the native of Baltimore welcomes amateur rival and WBA 130-pound titleholder Lamont Roach, Jr. (25-1-1, 10 KOs). It will be Davis' first fight since last June where he scored a demonstrative knockout of rising contender Frank Martin in Las Vegas. It will also be Davis' first fight in New York since a brutal knockout of Rolando "Rolly" Romero in 2022.
As we draw closer to this weekend's anticipated fight card, let's take a closer look at the biggest storylines.
