Boxing Fans Eagerly Await Davis-Martin Title Clash on June 15
Las Vegas, June 1, 2023 – Gervonta “Tank” Davis, the reigning WBA lightweight champion, has vowed to unleash 14 months of pent-up frustration on his challenger, Frank Martin, when they face off at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on June 15.
The 29-year-old Davis last stepped into the ring in April 2023, scoring a victory over Ryan Garcia in a highly anticipated catchweight bout. However, the aftermath of that triumph was marred by legal troubles, as Davis was sentenced to 90 days of home detention and later served 44 days in a detention center for violating the terms of his house arrest.
Despite the distractions, Davis remains focused on reestablishing his dominance in the lightweight division. “I’m definitely looking forward to, all around the board, just being back in the ring,” he said. “I’ve been off for a long time, I’ve been in jail, I’ve been under house arrest and things like that. I’m just happy to be back here where I’m comfortable. I could be flawless and do what I do best, and that’s give you fans the best boxing you’ve seen to date.”
Davis’ challenger, the 29-year-old Martin, is eager to seize his opportunity and shock the world. “It’s a blessing just to be here,” Martin said. “It’s a blessing just to get this type of opportunity to come here and show the world what I’m about. I’ve got to say hats off – I appreciate Gervonta Davis for even taking the fight. I believe they f**** up by taking the fight, but I do appreciate them giving me this opportunity to show the world what I’m about. I’m ready to go out and shock the world and do what I do – do what people think I can’t do.”*
The stakes are high for both fighters, as they look to solidify their respective places in the competitive lightweight landscape. Fans can expect a thrilling showdown as Davis seeks to reclaim his dominance, while Martin aims to pull off a major upset on June 15 at the MGM Grand.
