Gervonta Davis and Rolly Romero had a stare-down ahead of their highly-awaited fight. The pair are set to face each other on May 28 at the Barclays Center with Davis' WBA (regular) World Lightweight Title on the line. At the ceremonial weigh-ins, 'Tank' and Rolly got to size each other up one last time before they meet in the ring again.
Watch the video below:
During the face-off, the pair did not exchange any words, instead they just looked each other dead in the eye and sized each other up. After the face-off, they turned and posed for the media. Rolly took the opportunity to step in front of Davis and walk up to the edge of the stage, flexing his biceps and trying to cover the WBA (regular) World Lightweight Champion.
The Baltimore native did not have any of it and gave Romero a little nudge. This caused Rolly to lose his balance and go off stage. He immediately got back up on stage and tried to start an altercation with Gervonta Davis. The security guards and the entourage from both sides rushed to the stage to separate the two fighters.
