Frank Martin: record, next fight and profile →



Though Frank Martin versus Gervonta Davis has not been confirmed, Martin last week did nothing to cool the rumors during Ryan Garcia’s public workout in Dallas.

Trainer Derrick James confirms to Boxing Scene that his unbeaten lightweight has launched preparations for a targeted June 15 bout against Gervonta "Tank" Davis

Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin have agreed to fight in late spring-early summer, according to ESPN

Gervonta Davis knows that there’s a target on his back. At this point, he’s grown accustomed to it. Fighting the 29-year-old lightweight champ is almost like hitting the lottery or participating in boxing’s version of the Super Bowl. Simply put, life-changing money and millions of eyeballs are placed upon you when Davis picks you as his next opponent.

Former champion Jamel Herring is keeping himself busy trying to bolster not only his own career but that of his clients. The recently unretired junior lightweight from Coram, New York, has been fulfilling dual duties as a fighter and manager in recent years.

Shakur Stevenson has always done his best to be a professional. A part of being one is making weight. It was never an issue in the past but once he was asked to make the cut prior to taking on Robson Conceicao, Stevenson flat-out couldn’t do it.

Frank Martin is hoping that the skimpy schedule he had in 2023 was simply an outlier. Normally, the 28-year-old can be spotted in the ring on multiple occasions. This time around, he wasn’t given the opportunity. In addition to having only one appearance this year under his belt, Martin failed to make the most of it.

The noise has died down around Frank Martin but some fans won’t let him hear the end of it. The 28-year-old has always wanted to become a champion. Although the lightweight division is filled with killers, he seemed just fine with going through whomever to reach his goals. Shakur Stevenson, a former Olympic silver medalist and multi-divisional champ, was offered to the Detroit native. To make it more interesting, the vacant WBC title was on the line.
