Following impressive hometown pro debuts last June in DC, the highly decorated duo of welterweight Ben Johnson (1-0, 1 KO) and flyweight Jordan “Ice Man” Roach (1-0) – both multiple national amateur champions – will step up to six-round contests in their second fights with Johnson set to face Kevin Pantoja (1-1). Roach’s opponent is TBD. Johnson dispatched Michael Williams with a RD1 TKO, while Roach earned a unanimous victory over Luis Domingo Hernández Cambero in their respective first professional bouts.

Two more undefeated prospects are scheduled to compete on the card – Washington, DC welterweight David “Bodysnatcher” Whitmire (6-0, 5 KOs) and Max Garland (5-0, 5 KOs) of Capitol Heights, MD.

WBA junior lightweight titleholder Lamont Roach Jr. is set to make his first world title defense in his hometown of Washington D.C., on June 28 to be aired live on ProBox TV.

Roach (24-1-1, 9 KOs) impressed in his most recent outing, capturing the title from Hector Luis Garcia, and now turns his attention to his first defense, against undefeated Northern Irishman Feargal McCrory (16-0, 8 KOs).

“Becoming world champion was the greatest feeling in my life,” Roach said. “I’ve been waiting for that for a long time, since I was a kid, so fulfilling a dream come true was amazing.

“Beating Hector Garcia was the culmination of hard work paying off. That victory was a testament to my skills. But I want to put the division on notice against McCrory.”

Roach, who has previously fought in his hometown only twice, and not since an eight-round decision over Jesus Lule in 2016, is excited about putting on a show for his local following at Washington’s ESA Arena.

“I can’t wait to fight in D.C.,” he said. “We’ve been waiting for this for years, D.C. has been waiting for this. I’m the first world champion since Lamont Peterson to fight at home and on the big stage, so it’s going to be special.

“I’m going to show I’m on a different level than McCrory, and I’m training as if I’m fighting a unification and that I’m on a level to unify the division.”

Lamont Roach Sr., head of NoXcuse Promotions, which will put on the June 28 card, envisions even bigger things in the offing for his son.

“This is only the beginning, and we are looking forward to Lamont Roach Jr. showcasing his skills and showing the world that he is the best super featherweight in the division.”

ProBox TV CEO Garry Jonas added, “ProBox TV is excited about working with Lamont Roach Sr and Jr. Both are a success story in and out of the ring.

“They want to do it their way and they want to fight in DC in front of their hometown people. We’ve been able to give them the support and we’re excited to put on a solid championship production live on ProBox TV.”

Lamont Roach Jr. is bringing a World Title back to Washington, D.C. Roach captured the WBA junior lightweight belt with a split decision win over Hector Luis Garcia last night at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Judges had one card of 114-113 for Garcia, and then cards of 114-113 and 116-111 for Roach.

It was the second world title fight for Roach (24-1-1, 9 KO), who came up short in a 2019 WBO bid against Jamel Herring. It’s the second straight loss for Garcia (16-2, 10 KO), who went up to 135 and was stopped by Gervonta Davis in January of this year.

Roach had been waiting 16 months as a mandatory challenger for the belt, and made this chance count.

HOUSTON, TEXAS — TGB Promotions narrowly outbid NoXcuse Promotions to win the rights to Hector Luis Garcia’s WBA junior lightweight mandatory defense against Lamont Roach, Jr.
TGB, which promotes Garcia, won with an offer of $410,000 to beat the only other offer, which was $351,000 made by NoXcuse Promotions, the company headed by Lamont Roach Sr., Roach’s father and trainer. Minimum bid was $120,000.

On the bidding form turned into the WBA at the auction, TGB listed possible dates for the fight as July 22 and Aug. 19, both in Las Vegas (on what would be a PBC card).

Garcia (16-1, 10 KOs), 31, a southpaw from the Dominican Republic, won the 130-pound belt by decision over Roger Gutierrez in August but he has not yet defended the title. Instead, in his only bout since winning it, he moved up to lightweight to challenge WBA “regular” titlist Gervonta Davis and got knocked out in the ninth round on Jan. 7.

Roach (23-1-1, 9 KOs), 27, of Washington, D.C., challenged then-WBO titleholder Jamel Herring as a mandatory in November 2019 and lost a competitive decision. Since then, Roach has won four fights in a row, most recently by unanimous decision against Angel Rodriguez on the Ryan Garcia-Javier Fortuna undercard in July in Los Angeles. After that fight he became a promotional free agent after having spent his career with Golden Boy.
