“I Did That Just to Impress Your Sister Who Was Watching”: Already Under Fire for Recent Controversy, Boxer Crossing a Line While Blasting Rolly Romero Makes Fans Go Wild

Rolly Romero got his hands on the WBA super lightweight championship following his victory over Ismael Barroso. Romero’s victory over number-one contender Barroso in a ninth-round stoppage raised eyebrows due to the controversial nature of the fight. As a result, Romero’s next steps are dictated by the sanctioning body, including an immediate title defense against the mandatory challenger, Ohara Davies.

Davies recently beat his fellow countryman Lewis Ritson on March 4 in Ritson’s hometown of Newcastle, England. The TKO victory made him the mandatory challenger for the WBA title. However, Romero and his team were insistent that the now 15-1 boxer would face either Ryan Garcia or Gervonta Davis in his next fight. Over the years, Davies has been a controversial figure in the sport of boxing. Moreover, his recent call to send the referee officiating the title bout to jail landed him in a bit of controversy. Now, he has come out and again slammed Romero for his post-fight comments.

The British boxer took to Twitter and detailed an incident about a sparring session. In the Tweet, he claimed that he knocked out Romero in a sparring session and did it only to impress his sister. “Don’t forget we sparred in Vegas and I put you down, TBH I did that just to impress your sister who was watching boy was she impressed,” he wrote.

The comment drew significant backlash from fans who were quick to condemn ‘Two Tanks’. Moreover, they called him out flooding him with criticism and outrage as they reacted to Davies’ comments.

A user named Jason Jones stated that bringing Romero’s sister into this was not necessary. He also claimed that Davies was not known outside the UK.

Another user urged Davies not to brag about the sparring session due to the age difference between them.

Moreover, one user said that making a family member a part of trash-talking was a classless move.

A user also revealed the chance Davies has of getting into a fight with Romero as he is not part of Al Hamon‘s PBC promotions.

Another user wondered why Romero was being knocked out in sparring sessions. This was due to another video of him being knocked out in a sparring session, which went viral.

Fans have reacted strongly to this incident, expressing their disappointment and calling for accountability. It serves as a reminder that fighters should always maintain professionalism and respect, both inside and outside the ring. Moreover, the British boxer now faces potential consequences for his actions, including damage to his public image and a loss of support from fans.
