Three-division world champion Gervonta Davis is scheduled to take on former interim WBA lightweight champ Rolando Romero on May 28.
ESPN's Mike Coppinger was the first to report the news of the matchup via a series of tweets, although the bout is yet to officially be announced by any of the parties involved with it. Davis and Romero initially were supposed to collide on December 5, 2021, but Romero was pulled out of the fight due to multiple sexual assault accusations back in October and eventually cleared of the charges in January. Davis is undefeated as a pro at 26-0 currently and is coming off of a unanimous decision victory over Isaac Cruz, who replaced Romero, in December. Romero meanwhile is also undefeated as a pro at 14-0 and defeated Anthony Yigit via a seventh-round TKO back in July 2021 in his latest appearance.
