A pair of undefeated titans will go head-to-head for the WBA Lightweight World Title. Gervonta “Tank” Davis will defend his title and outstanding record against Frank Martin.
Davis enters this fight with 29 wins, 0 defeats, and 27 knockouts. It’s tough to find a better resume than that. He’s coming off an impressive seventh-round victory over Ryan Garcia in April 2023. Saturday will be Martin’s first title shot. Despite an impressive 18-0 record with 12 knockouts, he’s definitely lacking in the power department compared to Davis.
Given Davis’ longevity, unprecedented power, and proven track record in title matches, most people aren’t giving Martin much of a chance. But that’s why the fights happen. Here’s everything to know about Saturday’s fight.
