This week, Frank “The Ghost” Martin expressed his gratitude as his highly anticipated fight against Gervonta “Tank” Davis approaches.
“I appreciate Tank giving me the opportunity to whoop his [backside],” Martin said.
Typically, it’s Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) who delivers the knockouts. However, with his WBA lightweight title on the line, Davis will be returning to the ring for the first time in 14 months following his knockout victory over Ryan Garcia in April 2023.
Despite the layoff, there’s no doubt that Davis retains his knockout power. The question is whether his sharpness will be affected by the time off. Martin (18-0, 12 KOs), under the guidance of highly regarded trainer Derrick James, is ready to test Davis. Martin has emerged as a top contender in the 135-pound division.
