Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is also a very strong candidate to win it in the future. That might even be as soon as 2025, with Canadian betting sites suggesting the teenager is one…
by Keith Idec GERVONTA DAVIS’ return to the ring has been delayed a little longer. Boxing News has learned that March 1 is the new targeted date for Davis to face Lamont Roach in the main event of a “PBC On Prime” pay-per-view show.
