Unlike his opponent, Gervonta Davis, this will be Frank Martin’s first mega fight with a payout that equates to a mini fortune. This bout represents a significant milestone in Martin’s career, propelling him into the limelight and onto the grand stage of professional boxing. As such, information about his prior ring walk music is scarce. However, he made a notable entrance during his fight against Artem Harutyunyan, where he enlisted the help of rapper Yella Beezy. Beezy’s live performance of ‘Why They Mad’ electrified the arena, showcasing Martin’s flair for the dramatic and setting the tone for the high-stakes match. This partnership not only highlighted Martin’s growing influence but also hinted at his potential to become a major draw in the sport.

While not much is known about Frank Martin’s other walkout songs, one notable instance is when Martin shared a clip of his face-off with Davis on his Instagram, featuring the track ‘Should’ve Ducked’ by Lil Durk and Pooh Shiesty playing in the background. This choice of music not only sets a confrontational tone but also reflects Martin’s taste in contemporary rap. What’s more, Martin appears to be a fan of Youngeen Ace, as evidenced by another social media post where he showcased one of his training sessions with the song “It Go” by Youngeen Ace playing over it. These musical selections give insight into Martin’s preferred soundtrack for both his professional and personal moments, emphasizing his connection to the gritty, motivational themes. 

Apart from these selections, there isn’t much documented about Frank Martin’s entrance music choices. However, Travis Scott’s ‘Thank God’ from his UTOPIA album was notably featured in one of Martin’s training clips shared on social media. Fans eagerly anticipate discovering Martin’s next ring walk song as the fight begins, highlighting the anticipation surrounding his upcoming bout.
