But the unbeaten boxer was cleared after investigation surrounding the accusations were closed without charges being filed.
And according to ESPN, report Davis, 27, and Romero, 26, have agreed to fight once more after the WBA ordered the bout.
Initially, the grudge match between the rivals was eyed for June 4 but has now been moved by a week.
Davis currently holds the WBA’s secondary ‘regular’ title which he will defend against former ‘interim’ holder Romero.
The challenger spoke out for the first time in January after being cleared of sexual assault.
Romero posted on Instagram: “After three and a half months of my name being slandered with false accusations, having to miss out on opportunities, cheated out of my dream, and out of a massive amount of wealth.
“The investigation into the allegations made against me has been formally closed.
“Charges were not filed because the allegations could not be substantiated because, as I always stated, I am innocent.
“I am now the symbol of freedom, purity, and love.”
Davis went on to instead face Issac Cruz, 23, and narrowly beat the Mexican replacement in a fight which was blasted by Romero.
He told FightHype: “Both of those motherf***ers were lucky I wasn’t in the ring that night. I could knock them both out at the same time.
“You know I truly believe this s***. I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t believe it. I thought it was a good fight. I thought Tank won. Everybody over here said Isaac Cruz won are just a biased dumbass.
“But did he do some efficient stuff? Yeah. Did he make Tank look truly inferior to what he actually is? Yeah.”
