Gervonta "Tank" Davis will be joined by David Benavidez on a card featuring two of boxing's biggest punchers on June 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, a source in Benavidez's camp confirmed Saturday.
Davis (29-0, 27 KOs), a former two-division titleholder, will face Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) in a lightweight matchup to headline the PBC pay-per-view event on Prime Video.
Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), a former interim super middleweight world titleholder, will move up in weight to take on Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) in a light heavyweight bout in the co-main event.
Although details weren't revealed until Saturday evening, when event promoter Premier Boxing Champions posted to its social media channels, the matchups had been in discussion for weeks.
Jose Benavidez Sr., David's father and trainer, told Boxing Scene in March, “It will be a great card. It's an honor for us to fight on the same card. Gervonta is happy, as well, with us fighting on the same night. I think that's just going to bring more viewers. It's an exciting night of fights, and we're super-excited."
