After his last fight against Ryan Garcia in April last year, Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid after converting to Islam, will finally return to face his former sparring partner, Frank Martin. Since Martin had helped ‘Tank’ Davis prepare for the fight against Leo Santa Cruz in 2020, he understands Davis’ skills and approach to the sport.

Additionally, as Frank Martin is unbeaten with 18 professional wins including victories over the likes of Artem Harutyunyan and Michael Rivera, Martin is expected to put Davis, 29-0-0, in a fix in the ring. On that note, Gervonta Davis has now indicated the potential date and venue for the fight against Martin!

Since his professional debut in 2013, Gervonta Davis fought in various cities in America including Washington, Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Brooklyn. Therefore, for the 30th and his first fight in 2024, for the time being, ‘Tank’ Davis has decided on a venue where he has yet to fight.

Lately, taking to X, talkSPORT correspondent Michael Benson informed the boxing world that Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin was being planned for June 22nd in Texas. “Gervonta Davis has indicated that his next fight vs Frank Martin is now being planned for June 22nd at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Tank’s WBA lightweight world title will be on the line,” Benson wrote.

As expected, following this tweet by Benson, several people reacted to it. Here is what they are saying!

The boxing world expects Gervonta Davis to move up to 140 lbs after Frank Martin

After Benson’s tweet, a fan thought ‘Tank’ made a “smart decision“. In their opinion, Texas, being “huge for boxing,” will provide ‘Tank’ with a “ton of new fans“.

According to one, “Frank Martin is the best fighter at 135 besides Shakur and Tank.” In their opinion, Davis always fights “great competition unlike Devin Haney“.
