Card Takes a Hit

The card suffered a significant blow when unified WBO and IBF middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly was removed from the co-main event after testing positive for a banned substance. The Kazakh fighter, who was set to unify three middleweight belts against WBA champion Erislandy Lara, is now fighting to clear his name, but the huge fight for the middleweight division is now off.
The winner might have had a shot at fighting Terence Crawford if he was interestedi n pursuing a title in another weight class. Lara will instead defend his title against Johan Gonzalez in a super welterweight bout.
The loss of the three-belt unification dramatically weakens what was shaping up to be one of the more stacked cards of the year.

I was at Barclays Center for Roach vs. Davis in March and scored the fight for Roach. The WBA super featherweight champion went toe-to-toe with Tank and earned a controversial draw that many believed should have been his victory. Now he’s moving up another weight class to challenge for gold at 140.
Cruz, meanwhile, was the last fighter before Roach to go the distance with Davis back in 2021. The Mexican star lost a decision that night but earned respect for his relentless pressure and durability. Since then, he’s bounced back from a loss to Jose Valenzuela by outpointing Angel Fierro and Omar Salcido to claim the WBC interim title.
Two-division champion Stephen Fulton moves up to challenge WBC super featherweight titleholder O’Shaquie Foster, looking to become a three-division champion—a fight that now carries even more weight with the Janibek-Lara unification off the table.
The Tank Connection

While Davis isn’t fighting on this card and no one knows when or if he’ll return to the ring, Tank is a key piece of the puzzle attached to the main event. Roach and Cruz have fought him with the former being robbed of a decision victory and the latter giving Davis one of his toughest nights in the ring.
Expect to hear Davis’ name called out often during the Amazon Prime Video PPV broadcast. Be on the lookout for post-event coverage following the event.
