Gervonta "Tank" Davis vs Frank Martin live stream: How to watch boxing online, start time, full fight card Tank defends his lightweight world title against the Ghost The Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin fight for the former's WBA lightweight title features two unbeaten boxers and the near guarantee that someone's 0 has got to go. It's a real clash of styles, too, which makes this fight — which includes David Benavidez in the co-main event — a fascinating proposition, especially in what will be 'Tank' Davis' first fight in a year.
Davis returns to the ring for the first time in more than a year and will want to look good in getting rid of the ring rust. Tank's last bout was a savage stoppage of Ryan Garcia — the Baltimore native has only gone the distance twice in 29 previous fights — but he's since had to contend with serious issues outside the ring, including violating a stay-at-home court order after a hit-and-run crash. Having served 44 days in prison as a result, the 29-year-old wants to look good, with a possible unification bout against Shakur Stevenson on the agenda.
Martin may be contesting his first fight among the elite but the Detroit boxer is unbeaten and has shown decent skills in his rise to world level. He's quick, got good hands and is a fine boxer on the back foot — stick to that sort of moving gameplan and the 29-year-old Ghost stands a chance. His biggest problem, though, may be getting a decision from the Vegas house in a fight Davis is expected to win.

Gervonta 'Tank' Davis will look to shake off the ring rust and put a controversial year outside of the ring behind him when he steps back into it to face Frank Martin in his first WBA lightweight title defence, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, United States.
The undefeated fighter has not competed since he floored Ryan Garcia in April 2023. Tank instead spent more than a month in jail in Baltimore after breaking a home detention order.
But free to resume his career, Davis now puts his title on the line after he became the WBA's champion following Devin Haney's decision to move divisions and relinquish his crown last November.
It makes his bout with fellow unbeaten competitor Martin a fascinating encounter as he looks to stave off the challenger to his newfound crown in what looks set to be one of the most anticipated bouts of the year.
At the age of 29, Davis is already a three-weight world champion, but the pinnacle of his career so far, the sensational 7th-round knockout of Ryan Garcia, was swiftly followed by the shameful low of a 44-day stint in prison last summer. Will that serve as a wake-up call for the power-puncher with the world at his feet?
His subsequent conversion to Islam and adoption of the name Abdul Wahid hinted at an appetite for personal and spiritual growth, though he recently reverted to his old ways, picking fights with lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, former welterweight titleist Errol Spence, and even his old promoter, Floyd Mayweather. There are no two ways about it, Davis is out to cause a splash.
Martin, however, possesses all the qualities to engineer an upset. Being trained by Derrick James, he'll have been afforded time with both Garcia and Spence, and his speed and positivity could force his opponent onto his backfoot. With his first major belt and the promise of a unification clash later this year, the incentives are massive.
