Frank Martin isn’t just showing up for the paycheck and will be looking to make an emphatic statement against Gervonta Davis.
During’s today’s grand arrivals for this weekend’s show featuring Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs Frank ‘The Ghost’ Martin on Prime PPV, it was Martin who had to hold court as Davis declined to appear to the event.
Davis’ lead trainer Calvin Ford would make a public excuse that Tank was held up, but Tank himself had made a since-deleted post on X about how weak the promotion for the fight has been and that he intended not to appear.
In any case, that pretty much left Martin to take the lead with respect to their bout.
“I’m feeling good,” Martin said. “We’ve been training for a while, I’m locked in, I’m focused. You know, the whole goal was to come out here and beat him and I’m ready to take the spot and I’m here for a reason. I ain’t here just to be here, I’m here to take this sh-t over.”
When asked why he’s so confident that he’ll be able to beat Davis this weekend, Martin gave this response.
“‘Cause I’m different. I got some things: I got speed, I got power, I got IQ. I feel like I got it all. Ya’ll gonna see. When it’s time to bite down, the world gonna see.
“We got this fight Saturday and I’m going to whoop his ass…we got Saturday to show who’s who.”
Martin (18-0, 12 KOs ) is an athletically gifted fighter and will be up against a much more experienced Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) come fight night, but he believes this is his opportunity to take the spotlight.
