Davis Promises Fireworks on March 1 Fight Night

Davis returns to action for the first time since his impressive KO win over Frank Martin. Roach defeated Feargal McCrory in his previous fight, retaining his WBA super-featherweight title. “Tank” will walk into the ring as the overwhelming favourite and understandably so.

At the media workout at the Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, Davis reflected on fighting at the Barclays Center again, and how his training camp in Washington DC has gone: “The atmosphere at Barclays is always amazing. I won my first championship here and I’m just excited to come back here to put on a great performance.

“Training in DC was great. It was fun. It brought the amateur style back.”

Looking ahead to March 1 against Roach: “Roach is in for a rude awakening, for sure. He’s trying to psyche himself up, but it comes down to skill. Whoever is the most skilled fighter will be the winner,” said Davis.

“Knocking someone out feels like a home run, when it hits the sweet spot of the bat, and it goes far. That’s how it feels for me.”
