Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin title at stake

Davis will be defending his WBA lightweight title when he faces Martin.

Gervonta Davis' record

Davis has compiled a 29-0 record with an impressive 27 of those victories coming inside the distance.

‘Tank’ made his debut in 2013 with a first-round win over Desi Williams. Davis claimed stoppages in each of his first eight fights, with seven of those coming inside the first two rounds.

The southpaw was taken the distance by durable journeyman German Ivan Meraz in 2014, before recording three successive first-round wins.

Davis’ first real test came in 2017 in his first world title fight as he faced off against the 22-0 Jos Pedraza for the IBF super featherweight title.

Davis claimed a seventh-round victory, leading to his then promoter and mentor Floyd Mayweather to label him as the “future of boxing”.

Davis defended the title against Liam Walsh, but was then stripped of the belt ahead of his victory over Francisco Fonseca after missing the weight.

The 29-year-old then picked up the WBA super featherweight title by stopping Jesus Marcelo Andres Cuellar and defended that belt twice before stepping up to his current weight.

Davis became the WBA (regular) champion by claiming the then vacant title with an impressive victory over former unified featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa.

The Baltimore-native has since record victories over the likes of Leo Santa Cruz, Mario Barrios and Isaac Cruz, who is the only man to last the full 12 rounds with Davis.

Davis was last seen in April of 2023 as he ended Ryan Garcia’s unbeaten streak with a seventh-round victory.

That win now looks even more impressive, given Garcia’s victory over the previously unbeaten Devin Haney earlier this year.

Frank Martin's record

Frank Martin has an 18-0 record with 12 of those wins coming inside the distance.

The 29-year-old from Detroit will be contesting his first world title fight, but he has been in contention for a while now, having been ordered to face the former two-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson by the WBC for the then vacant lightweight title in August 2023 in a fight that didn’t materialise.

‘The Ghost’ made his debut in 2017 against John Edward Lockette and claimed a first-round victory. Five of his first six wins came inside the distance and Martin has quietly put together an impressive unbeaten run.

Martin’s first big win came in July 2022 as he stopped Jackson Marinez in the 10th and final round of their contest and he has since claimed two victories over previously unbeaten opponents.

The southpaw was last seen in July of 2023 as he claimed a unanimous decision win over Artem Harutyunyan, a Bronze Medal winner at the 2016 Olympics.

The bout was a close one, but Martin claimed a knockdown in the 12th round and won by small margins on all three judges’ scorecards.

Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin odds
