Gervonta Davis, boxing’s knockout king, is returning to the ring! After his spectacular seventh-round KO over Ryan Garcia last year, Davis is now set to headline a PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view event. Davis is looking to make a statement. He recently inherited the WBA lightweight title after the former undisputed champion Devin Haney moved up in weight.

Standing in his way is the tough and resilient Frank Martin. Martin’s last fight was a close decision win, solidified by a dramatic 12th-round knockdown. He’s no stranger to taking on tough competition, with victories over Michel Rivera and Jackson Marinez under his belt. This would be a great battle between two southpaw boxers. Even the undercard fights of this event has everybody whispering.

The next fight had David Benavidez’s rival Demetrius Andrade going against David Morrell. This might seem a bit anticlimactic since Morrell had been trying his hardest to land a fight against Benavidez, but now he will have to face his previous opponent instead. However, if he manages to win this fight, his chances of facing ‘The Mexican Monster’ will increase drastically. So it’s still a great opportunity for the boxer. It will be a jam-packed main card, as all these fights seem quite interesting and relevant. What are your thoughts about these undercard fights? Let us know in the comments section.
