While Frank Martin still digests his first professional defeat, Keyshawn Davis wants to hunt the hunted. So, even though it has barely been a week since Keyshawn Davis had his last fight against Miguel Madueno, ‘The Businessman’ is already aiming for Martin.
Well, for some time, Davis has been aspiring to fight a big name in the sport and likewise, even called out Teofimo Lopez, Gervonta Davis, and Vasyl Lomachenko. However, in addition to Lopez calling Keyshawn “big-headed,” the CEO of Top Rank, Bob Arum opined it was “too early” for ‘The Businessman’ to take on someone like Lopez. However, Keyshawn Davis has had enough!
So, taking to X, Davis asked his followers about the opponent they would prefer next. The majority voted for Frank Martin. Therefore, in a video, Keyshawn called out Martin, saying, “Everybody right now, y’all tag Frank Martin. We got to run that. No disrespect, let’s fight. The fans want to see it.
