Frank Martin is looking forward to his upcoming match to challenge the WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, on June 15th at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. The event will be broadcast on PBC on Prime Video PPV.
Even though many consider him the underdog, Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is not swayed by the skepticism surrounding his chances against Tank Davis (29-0, 27 KOs). He views this doubt as a driving force to silence his critics. Some question Martin’s abilities due to his lack of experience against top contenders in the lightweight category.
In his last bout, Martin narrowly overcame Artem Harutyunyan in a twelve-round unanimous decision in July. Harutyunyan presented a tough challenge, but he stumbled in the later stages of the fight.
While some argue that Martin is not adequately prepared to face Tank Davis, he embraces the underdog role and is committed to seizing this opportunity. Martin recognizes that replicating his performance against Michel Rivera in 2022 is crucial for his chances against Tank Davis.
Victory over Tank Davis would mark a significant milestone in Martin’s career and a rare chance. He considers this match a blessing and pledges to deliver a top-notch performance on June 15th.
As the fight approaches, Martin has a message for Tank Davis, conveying his preparedness to confront him and his hope to witness the best version of his opponent in the ring.
