Gervonta Davis is set to defend his WBA ‘regular’ lightweight crown against Frank Martin on June 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight is expected to be an exciting one, with fans anticipating fireworks in the ring.
Frank Martin, with a record of 18-0 and 12 KOs, is seen as a good fighter, but not at the level of some of the top contenders in the lightweight division. Some believe he is the second best fighter in the division behind Tank Davis, but that might be a stretch. Martin has flaws in his game that could be exploited by a seasoned fighter like Davis.
It is interesting to note that Gervonta’s management has chosen to go with Frank Martin for this fight, potentially because they see him as a beatable opponent. This safe play is in contrast to how they have handled other fighters in the past, such as Vasily Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson. The decision to stage the fight in Houston, despite both fighters being from different cities, adds an interesting dynamic to the matchup.
The fight night will feature other exciting matchups, including David Benavidez vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the WBC interim light heavyweight belt and Gary Antuanne Russell vs. Alberto Puello for the WBC interim super lightweight belt. The main event between Davis and Martin is scheduled to begin around 11 PM ET, with the action kicking off at 8 PM ET.
The Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin fight night promises to be an exciting event for boxing fans. While Martin may not be the top contender in the lightweight division, his matchup against Davis is expected to provide an entertaining and competitive bout. Keep an eye on this fight night as it unfolds on June 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
