Lamont Roach Jr. (born August 18, 1995) is an American professional boxer who has held the WBA super featherweight title since 2023.
Roach was a decorated amateur, winning gold medals at the National Golden Gloves and USA Boxing Youth National Championships in 2013. He made his professional debut the following year, shortly after signing with Golden Boy Promotions, while studying at the University of Maryland. He went undefeated in his first 20 fights (19 wins, 1 draw), collecting three minor belts before he unsuccessfully challenged Jamel Herring for his WBO super featherweight title in 2019.
Early life
Born in Washington, D.C., Roach was raised in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. When he was nine years old, he accompanied his father and his cousin to No “X” Cuse Boxing Club in Capitol Heights, where he got to hit a punching bag for the first time and learn some of the basics of boxing.{{cite news|url=https://dbknews.com/2016/08/12/article_a044d7a8-cb6c-11e3-b996-001a4bcf6878-html/|title=Getting in the ring: Lamont Roach Jr. goes pro while still student|publisher=The Diamondback|date=August 12, 2016|access-date=May 20, 2020}} He enjoyed it so much that he decided to continue training under his father and his cousin Bernard, and by middle school was in the gym five times a week. Although he had also been playing football throughout his youth, he dropped it to focus on boxing once he reached high school.
As an amateur, his record was {{abbr|125–15|125 wins, 15 losses}},{{cite news|url=https://roundbyroundboxing.com/news/lamont-roach-jr-has-sights-set-on-wbc-title-this-saturday/|title=Lamont Roach Jr. Has Sights Set on WBC Title This Saturday|publisher=Round by Round Boxing|first=Peter|last=Nieves|date=January 25, 2017|access-date=May 26, 2020}}{{Dead link|date=September 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} with two of those losses coming from Gervonta Davis.{{cite news|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/lamont-roach-ready-title-shot-beating-mercado--134697|title=Lamont Roach Ready For Title Shot After Beating Mercado|publisher=Boxing Scene|first=Lem|last=Satterfield|date=December 17, 2018|access-date=May 27, 2020}} He won two Junior National Golden Gloves Championships, a national PAL Championship and five Ringside World Championships.

Professional career
In March 2014, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions to begin his professional career with his father Lamont Sr. serving as his manager. Roach made his professional debut on April 19, 2014, defeating Victor Galindo by unanimous decision at the D.C. Armory. Just 18 years old at the time, he was still a freshman at the University of Maryland studying mechanical engineering, following in his father's footsteps. Two months later, he defeated Miguel Antonio Rodríguez in Boston when his opponent failed to answer the bell for the second round.{{cite news|url=https://stiffjab.com/danny-kelly-lamont-roach-jr-win-in-boston-on-fs1-2318da4d117b|title=Danny Kelly, Lamont Roach Jr Win In Boston on FS1|publisher=Stiff Jab|first=Gautham|last=Nagesh|date=June 6, 2014|access-date=May 26, 2020}}{{dead link|date=February 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} In his first televised match he faced Herbert Quartey, cousin of former world champion Ike Quartey, in Philadelphia on January 20, 2015.
