ROLANDO ROMERO claimed that he spent more on sparring than he earned to fight - after knocking out many people at the gym.
Gervonta, an unbeaten American woman, will fight Gervonta on Saturday. She has only 35 bouts and did not have a lot of amateur experience.
Rolando Romero is known for sparring with partners
Instead, he made a name for his self in Floyd Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym where sparring sessions were treated like world title fights.
It attracted Mayweather's attention, who signed Romero in 2016 with Leonard Ellerbe, his right-hand man.
The boxer was unable to pay his dues after continuing to brutalize sparring partners and sharing evidence online.
SunSport spoke to Romero, 26 years old, who said that he didn't care about their identities, but just went into the room and beat them all.

"I have calmed down, as it was getting expensive. I was not spared by anyone, so I started to pay.
"Then, I was sparing more than I was making to fight. So I thought, "OK, maybe there's something wrong with that."
"I was like, man, from the end 2015 to August 2018, I was just going into there and my sole goal was to beat you, knock out.
"That was my only goal. Every time I got in the rings, I didn’t care about anything.

"Honestly, it was funny to me, and then Leonard called and said, "Aye, we can't get your fights, you need stop doing this."
"I was like, OK Leonard." Two days later, I posted another video of myself knocking people out. However, I don’t post as often as I used too."
Romero, who is 14-0 under Mayweather Promotions stands out as one of the most outspoken fighters around the globe.
He has 12 KOs and he backs up his brash words by using his heavy hands to plot his victory over all his rivals.
He stated, "I want the champ, I want the best fighters in the world and my era."
"I cannot say the best of all times, because there are so many options.
"There's Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran and Floyd.
"And I can't beat any of those people, but I sure can beat every f***ing person in my era.
"That's what motivates me. "I want to be the best fighter of my generation."
Romero will be taking on long-time rival Davis in New York. Davis is currently defending his WBA Regular' lightweight title.
Romero was accused of sexual assault and Romero was forced to resign.
He denied them all.
After an investigation, the unbeaten fighter was not charged as the allegations were not substantiated.
He got another shot at Davis, who together with an unnamed foe remain at the top of Romero’s hit-list.
He stated that he was the "motherf***er" I liked the least in the sport. There is another guy I don't like.

"There are two people that I want to kiss and go up to. They are not the right people for me to discuss.
Tank, this fight is ours and I'm going knock him out to make me a star. He has everything I want."
