Lamont Roach Jr. has proven he can hang with the best fighters in the world, but he's yet to get a win in one of those marquee matchups. On August 1, Roach will get another opportunity when he clashes with William Zepeda in Las Vegas. The fight will headline a DAZN boxing card and all signs point to a potential war that could be the fight of the year.
Roach-Zepeda will emanate from The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The bout will headline the new TNT Sports and DAZN boxing series.
The 12-round bout is set for Saturday, August 1, 2026, with the vacant WBC lightweight world championship on the line after Shakur Stevenson moved on from the division. Tickets go on general sale Friday, June 5 at 10 a.m. PT, priced from $30 to $300.
The card launches "The Fight," a new monthly boxing series from TNT Sports and DAZN — a real statement of intent for a partnership that wants to put marquee boxing back on accessible platforms.
