It’s been nearly a year since Gervonta Davis got back to the sweet science. However, fans might just get to witness his comeback to the sport soon enough. The Baltimore native last appeared in the ring in April last year when he knocked out Ryan Garcia. And now rumors suggest he might take on Frank Martin. 

The slated date for the potential fight is set on June 15, and adding to the excitement, ‘Tank’ Davis just issued a statement hinting at a nail-biting showdown. Turning to X (formerly Twitter), the WBA lightweight champion made his thoughts known to the public today!

Leonard Ellerbe responds to Gervonta Davis

Earlier today, Davis wrote, “[I don’t know] nothing about nothing, but somebody gonna sleep soon..” Even though there hasn’t been an official announcement to confirm the fight as of right now, the CEO of Davis’ former promotional company, Leonard Ellerbe, hinted at the fight being finalized. He wrote back, “Mark it down.”

Despite Davis’ popularity and impeccable skills, Martin is no pushover. Boasting an impressive 18-0 record, the Detroit native has a total of 12 knockout wins. If the fight becomes real, Martin will be desperately looking to halt Davis’ undefeated run. However, Martin isn’t the only potential opponent the Baltimore native had the option to fight.

Eddie Hearn on Davis vs. Conor Benn

Earlier last month, there were strong indications that Davis would fight Conor Benn. Even Mathchroom Boxing head, Eddie Hearn, claimed he had sent a $25 million offer for the fight. However, Davis leaked their conversation on X, claiming Hearn only offered him $10 million, far from what Hearn claimed later.

‘The Distroyer’ Benn later clarified that the Davis would get a $10 million guarantee, and the rest would come from the pay-per-view sales and whatnot. What’s more, Hearn wasn’t happy that Davis leaked their messages.

In an interview with Boxing Social, Hearn stated, “I don’t know why I waste my time with this guy, [he’s] like a baby. If you’re not willing to sit down and have a sensible business discussion, like, he doesn’t even know the details of the offer…We made him an eight-figure offer with plenty of upside. He doesn’t even want to discuss the upside because he just gets ill advice.”

With that said, as things are right now, Davis seems to have limited choices, with Frank Martin standing out as the primary option. However, things can always go sideways in the sport of boxing, so only time will tell whether the fight becomes real. Do you think the Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin fight would happen?
