After Gervonta Davis, His Opponent Frank Martin Unveils Ripped Physique for the Toughest Fight of His Career

The fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin seems close to becoming real! Earlier this month, the Baltimore native seemingly confirmed the fight would transpire on June 22. However, what got people even more excited was his new, shredded physique. The undefeated boxer turned to X, sharing a clip of himself after a grueling workout, flaunting his physique. So, his upcoming opponent, Martin, did the same!

Earlier today, ‘The Ghost’ Martin took to his Instagram story to share a clip showcasing his ripped physique from his gym. The clip was later picked up by Boxing Media, who posted the clip on the social media platform. They captioned the post, “Frank Martin looking ripped leading up to his bout against Gervonta.”

As of the time of writing, the fight has not been officially confirmed, but both fighters have hinted at ongoing talks. If the fight gets made, it could possibly transpire at the rumored Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. 

Davis (29-0) hasn’t fought since his seventh-round knockout victory over Ryan Garcia in April last year. Due to his legal troubles, which saw him in house arrest, the WBA lightweight champion had to stay out of the ring for over a year. Meanwhile, even Martin (18-0) didn’t see much action in 2023! While Davis fought Ryan Garcia and Hector Garcia last year, Martin only fought once against Artem Harutyunyan. 

The lightweight eliminator fight saw a close encounter, with Martin taking home the win after twelve rounds of battle. So, the question is — is Frank Martin ready for Gervonta Davis? As far as Martin is concerned, he has already left a mark on ‘Tank’ Davis in their previous encounter. 

Gervonta Davis’ deleted warning to Frank Martin

Amid all the speculations about the fight between Martin and Davis, the former appeared in an interview with Naji in Cigar Talk. While there, Naji probed Martin about his previous sparring session with Davis, where Martin allegedly got hurt. So, Martin clarified that nothing of the sort happened when they sparred with each other.

Martin revealed that it was actually him who hurt Gervonta Davis during the sparring session. So, when Davis got wind of Martin’s bold claims during the interview, he hopped on X to set the record straight. In a now-deleted tweet, Davis wrote, “Keep talking… Ima upload the video.” Moreover, even though Martin suggested the sparring footage does exist, it hasn’t been made public yet. 

By the looks of things, the fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin seems all but confirmed. However, there’s always the possibility of things going south. So, only time will tell whether Davis returns to the ring in June or if his hiatus extends further. Who do you think would win? Does Martin stand a chance?
