Gervonta Davis
Davis finished his amateur career with an impressive record of 221-5 and has been a professional boxer since 2013. In 2017, he won the IBF World Super Featherweight title by defeating Jose Pedraza. Two years later, he claimed the WBA Lightweight World title by knocking out Olympic champion Yuriorkis Gamboa.
In 2021, he won the WBA title in a third weight class by defeating super lightweight Mario Barrios. His last fight to date was against Ryan Garcia at a catchweight. In April 2023, he defeated Garcia by knockout in the 7th round and has not fought since.
Frank Martin
Frank Martin also had an impressive amateur career before turning professional in 2017. He caught attention in 2022 with a decisive victory over Michel Rivera in a clash of prospects. In 2023, in a WBC eliminator, he secured a hard-fought and not entirely convincing victory over Olympic medalist Artem Harutyunyan.
Davis vs Martin Records

• Frank Martin — 29 years old, USA. Professional record: 18 wins (12 by knockout) and no losses.
Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin Prediction
The fighters have similar styles. Both are southpaws who prefer a counter-punching style and possess excellent timing. Davis indeed looks like the clear favorite. He is more experienced in both amateur and professional careers, and his punches are more powerful. I predict the fight will last less than 11.5 rounds.
