Davis (11-0, 7 KOs) is already ranked among the world’s top lightweights and is closing in on a title shot.
The 25-year-old boxer-puncher is coming off a dominant 10-round decision over Miguel Madueno and will be looking to put on a spectacular show in his hometown.
“We’ve already sold 10,000 tickets, and we’re going to sell some more,” said Davis at the final press conference.
“It’s going to be a treat on Friday. It’s not going to be beautiful. There’s going to be blood everywhere. His nose might be a little lopsided after.
“But I respect you, Gustavo. You are an amazing fighter. I appreciate you for taking the fight in my hometown, but I’m going to f**k you up.”
Lemos (29-1, 19 KOs) is a quality operator and will be determined to test the young American hotshot to his limits.
He did just that against Richardson Hitchins, who was pushed to the wire before winning a 12-round decision at super lightweight in July.
This will be Lemos’ first fight at the lightweight limit since March 2022.
The Sporting News will provide undercard results and a full report on the main event.
