Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) and Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) were scheduled to face each other in mid-June for the title of the WBA lightweight championship belt. As for Frank, a victory over the man considered “The New Face of Boxing” will take him to new heights, both in terms of fame and money.
However, Gervonta Davis certainly will not want to be humiliated in the first defense of his championship belt. After Devin Haney, the previous absolute champion of the lightweight division, moved to a new weight class, “Tank” became the new WBA champion.
With his proven ability against countless strong opponents, many people believe that this will continue to be an easy match for him. However, Frank Martin had different thoughts. The boxer nicknamed “The Ghost” recently promised a shocking surprise at the MGM Grand Garden arena, Las Vegas.
“I see myself as a winner. I go out there, be myself and let people know who I am. I will not let his tricks distract me. I’m going to go out there and finish the fight with my arm raised.” Frank Martin said in a recent personal Instagram livestream.
Frank Martin had to wait a long time for the opportunity to compete for the first world championship of his career. That tiredness of waiting will be an important key to helping Frank win the next match if he can turn it into motivation. Besides, the American boxer is also showing a relatively impressive performance as he has easily won his last 2 matches.
