Reigning WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) returns to the ring against Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) on Saturday, June 15. The highly anticipated 12-round bout will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Live coverage of the event gets going at 8 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video PPV.
Tank has ascended into stardom at 135 pounds and makes his first fight appearance following a brief prison stint. Last April he stopped Ryan Garcia with a powerful body shot in the 7th round. The victory extended his unbeaten win streak to 28 and upped his KO rate to 93.7%. Now all eyes will be on Davis as he prepares for yet another successful title defense.
Martin finally gets an opportunity at a world title, as the 29-year-old from Dallas, Texas has been a professional since 2017. In his last bout, Martin handed Artem Harutyunyan his first loss, winning by unanimous decision. The former Golden Gloves gold medalist will look to shock the world and pull off a massive upset.
