Gervonta Davis vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa fight results: Live boxing updates, scorecard, highlights

One of boxing's most exciting young stars will make his lightweight debut on Saturday in the first world title fight in Atlanta since 1998. 

Two-time junior lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (22-0, 21 KOs) will face Cuban Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-2, 18 KOs) at State Farm Arena for the vacant WBA lightweight title. Davis, the 25-year-old slugger from Baltimore, repeated a recent trend by needing a second chance to make weight in his new division. The exciting southpaw has never fought past eight rounds and has gone to the scorecards just once in his career.

Gamboa, 38, was once considered among the pound-for-pound best as a star of the featherweight division to open the decade. He remains viable, however, entering this weekend with a 7-1 record since 2014 and fresh off a knockout of former champion Roman Martinez in July.
