Davis, the 2012 Golden Gloves champion, made his pro debut in 2013. He won the IBF super featherweight title in 2017 and then lost it later that year after dropping weight for a fight against Francisco Fonseca. In 2018, Davis won the WBA (super) super featherweight title and then became the WBA (regular) lightweight champion against Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019.

Davis captured the WBA (Super) super featherweight title in October 2020 with a knockout victory over Leo Santa Cruz. After changing divisions again, Davis beat Mario Barrios to win the WBA (Regular) super lightweight title. His last fight was in December, a win over Isaac Cruz to retain the WBA (regular) lightweight title.

Romero made his pro debut in 2016. He won the interim WBA lightweight title in August 2020 against Jackson Marinez. In his last fight in July, Romero faced Anthony Yigit. The interim title was not on the line as Yigit missed the weight. Romero defeated him in the seventh round by technical knockout.

The two were supposed to fight on December 5, but Romero was removed from the fight after sexual assault allegations were made against him. No charges were filed after a few weeks and the fight returned.

Davis has his own history of legal problems, including being arrested on charges of simple assault and domestic abuse against his ex-girlfriend. The incident took place in February 2020 at a basketball game.
