In a much-anticipated showdown, WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis is set to face the undefeated Frank Martin in a high-stakes PPV bout, as confirmed by boxing insider Mike Coppinger. This spring or early summer, the boxing world will be treated to a clash that’s been the subject of widespread speculation, finally putting rumors to rest about Davis’s next opponent.

While the matchup between Tank (29-0, 27 KOs) and #2 WBA contender Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is poised to draw significant attention, it doesn’t carry the blockbuster PPV allure of Davis’s previous fight against Ryan Garcia. Despite this, the fight represents a critical juncture for both fighters, with Davis looking to maintain his unbeaten streak amidst off-ring challenges, and Martin aiming to elevate his status in the lightweight division.
The financial terms remain under wraps, but the stakes are undeniably high, especially for Davis, who previously bypassed a lucrative offer for a different bout. As PBC ventures into this PPV endeavor, the boxing community watches keenly, recognizing the potential implications for both Davis’s legacy and Martin’s ascension in the sport.
