He defended that belt with two knockouts before knocking out Jesús Cuellar in the third round in their 2018 bout to capture the WBA super featherweight title. Then, in 2019, the Baltimore-born fighter moved to lightweight to fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the vacant WBA (regular) lightweight title. Davis won that contest by TKO in the 12th round. Davis then defeated Leo Santa Cruz in 2020 by sixth-round knockout in a scrap that was for the WBA lightweight and WBA super featherweight belts. In December 2021, following a TKO over Mario Barrios in June 2021, Davis faced Isaac Cruz for the WBA lightweight strap. That contest went 12 rounds, with Davis winning via unanimous decision. Davis is 4-0 since the win over Cruz, beating Rolando Romero, Hector Garcia, Ryan Garcia, and most recently Frank Martin via knockout. Davis and Roach were initially booked to meet in December at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, but that fight was postponed and moved to New York in November. Davis had been in talks to face Vasiliy Lomachenko, but that fight never came to fruition. ESPN has Davis ranked as the No. 8 pound-for-pound boxer. He is the No. 1 ranked 135-pound fighter.

Then, in November 2023, Roach got the opportunity to fight for the WBA super featherweight belt, meeting Héctor Luis García. Roach won that contest via majority decision. In his most recent outing, the Washington DC-born competitor defeated Feargal McCrory by TKO in front of a hometown crowd to retain that title. Roach is the No. 5 ranked 130-pounder.
