Stevenson's Manager Criticizes Davis' Excuse for Title Fight Delay

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis is set for a rematch against Lamont Roach Jr. following their controversial draw, which many believe should have favored Roach after Davis took a knee in the ninth round without it being ruled a knockdown. The fight, which has garnered significant attention, featured Davis unexpectedly retreating to his corner after claiming grease from a recent hair appointment affected his vision. Boxing legend Mike Tyson weighed in, asserting that a point should have been deducted from Davis for his actions, which adds to the ongoing debate about the referee's decisions. Shakur Stevenson, a lightweight champion and potential future opponent for Davis, has expressed his belief that Roach will win the rematch, citing their prior sparring sessions. The rematch is tentatively scheduled for late June, and both fighters are eager to settle the score amidst heightened expectations from fans. The outcome could significantly influence the dynamics of the lightweight division.
