Davis Scores Vicious TKO of Martin

Unbeaten WBA Lightweight Champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis Overcomes Slow Start to Retain Title

Las Vegas, NV - August 27, 2023

In a highly anticipated rematch, Gervonta "Tank" Davis successfully defended his WBA lightweight title with a vicious sixth-round TKO over Frank Martin at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Davis, who had been out of the ring for 14 months, started slowly but gradually gained momentum, eventually overwhelming his opponent with a barrage of power punches.

Martin, who entered the fight with an unblemished record, put up a valiant effort but was ultimately outclassed by the more experienced and powerful Davis. The fight reached its climax in the sixth round when Davis unleashed a devastating combination that sent Martin crashing to the canvas. Referee Russell Mora immediately stopped the contest, giving Davis the TKO victory.

With the win, Davis extends his undefeated record to 28-0 (26 KOs) and solidifies his status as one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world. Martin, now 18-2 (12 KOs), will look to bounce back from this setback in his next fight.
