Gervonta Davis is ready to go to war as he hardens his body and mind for the upcoming fight with Frank Martin on June 15. The American fighter is breaking a sweat in the gym and is keeping his fans updated on his progress. The latest one might even lead his opponent to question his decision to take on the toughest fight of his career.

‘Tank’ turned to his Instagram handle and shared a story of him post-training. He used a sad emoji with it as he ruined his t-shirt while training. However, how he ruined the shirt becomes evident when looking closely at the stains. The fans could see a photo of his training t-shirt lying on the ground, bloodied in patches and drenched in sweat. If this doesn’t show he is gearing up for war, nothing does.

This exhibits the 29-0 record holder’s strong desire to finally step into the squared circle since he knocked out Ryan Garcia over a year ago. These visuals also resonate with the Baltimore native’s confident words, as he had specified his intent to bring his A-game and end his year-long layoff. “I want to be flawless and do what I do best. And that’s give you fans the best boxing you’ve seen up to date,” Davis had announced at the Las Vegas press conference.

Meanwhile, Martin, 29, is also training hard to ensure he enters the ring at peak fitness levels. His training clip has made waves on the internet, and he most recently showcased a chiseled body after the 18-0 record holder went through a strenuous workout. Moreover, Martin is grateful for the opportunity and wants to utilize it to the full. He is coming into the fight after outpointing Artem Harutyunyan last July. He believes a fight with Davis is what he needs to showcase his boxing acumen to the world.
