Gervonta Davis, ESPN's No. 8 pound-for-pound boxer, and Frank Martin, ranked No. 7 at lightweight, have officially agreed to a highly anticipated boxing match for the WBA lightweight world title. Set to take place in late spring or early summer, the fight marks Davis's return to the ring after legal issues sidelined him for the latter half of the previous year. This match also represents Martin's first title shot. Both fighters are undefeated and recognized for their technical prowess and power. The fight, which will be Davis's first since a seventh-round knockout over Ryan Garcia in April, will be broadcast as a Pay-Per-View event on PBC and @PrimeVideo. This bout is not only a significant test for both athletes but also a strategic move for Martin, who passed up an opportunity to fight Shakur Stevenson last fall.

Gervonta vs Frank Martin is actually a very good fight from a technical perspective. Frank Martin can fight off the back foot and he will make it difficult for Tank. It’s the fight Tank probably needs before he goes after Haney & Shakur.
