The wait is finally over! Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is set to defend his WBC interim super lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr. After Gervonta Davis declined to grant ‘The Reaper’ a well-earned rematch following their majority draw earlier this year, Roach made the bold decision to move up to 140 pounds in pursuit of becoming a two-division world champion.
