After having humbled Michel Rivera in the December fight, Frank Martin will be taking on Artem Harutyunyan on July 15. ‘The Ghost’ Martin has had his view for the top since his clash with Rivera. The fight saw Martin win in a unanimous decision over Michel Rivera over the 12 rounds. The scores from the jury were 117-110, 118-109, and 120-107 all in favor of ‘The Ghost.’ Last year, he showed his prowess brilliantly as he also beat Romero Duno and Jackson Marinez. Promoted by Errol Spence Jr. and trained by Derrick James, Martin took on the WBA eliminator challenge.

Martin (17-0, 12 KO) is going straight to the big names as he wishes to fight Isaac Cruz. The 135-pounder hopes to fight elite names and secure his title as the undisputed. However, as he prepares for his bout against Harutyunyan, he also has started mapping his next big fights. But what stops him from fighting Cruz?

Gervonta Davis stands between Frank Martin and Isaac Cruz

Recently, ‘The Ghost’ revealed that he wants to fight Isaac Cruz. The showcase fight is a co-main event for the big Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. clash. Cruz is training hard to go against Cabrera by zeroing in on his strengths and weaknesses. He hopes that this clash will earn him a rematch with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

Recently, Martin (17-0, 12 KOs) revealed in a conversation with FightHype.com that Isaac Cruz wants to only fight Gervonta Davis at the moment. He said, “We’d be a great fight but I just feel like Isaac Cruz, he got his eyes so set on Tank.” Martin went on to add that Cruz does not want to fight someone that can take him down and ruin his chances to fight ‘Tank.’

Before anything, ‘The Ghost’ will take on Artem Harutyunyan

The bronze medal holder Artem will clash with Martin outside of Germany soon this month. The fight is likely to take place in this global boxing capital, Las Vegas, Nevada. WBC Lightweight elimination match will be an interesting one to watch out for. Both are on the top list of contenders in the WBC’s list for the 135-pound championship.
