One of the most talented and polarizing stars in boxing is back in the ring on Saturday.
Following a near-14-month layoff, undefeated WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KO) will defend his title against the undefeated Frank Martin (19-0, 12 KO) in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions PPV card on Amazon Prime.
Here is how you can watch the card featuring David Benavidez taking on Oleksandr Gvozdyk in the co-main event.
What Are the Key Storylines Leading Up to Davis vs. Martin?
The 135 to 147-pound weight region is one of the hottest in the sport.
Davis, Devin Haney, Vasyl Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, Jaron Ennis, William Zepeda, Subriel Mattias, and a handful of others have boxing’s collective eye on them.
The battle between Davis and Martin pits two of the top fighters in the weight region against each other, with their respective undefeated records on the line. Both men are 29 and have a history in the ring as up-and-comers in the sport.
The two sparred in Floyd Mayweather’s gym, and it seems it was a spirited session. Davis admitted Martin landed a big left hand that he felt, but he insists the latter felt his power, too.
Here is an episode of Gloves Off on PBC’s YouTube channel that discusses both fighters’ journeys.
Davis hasn’t fought since he stopped Garcia in April 2022. Legal issues have kept him out of the ring, so that that ring rust will be a concern and topic of conversation.
Martin is not a soft touch for Davis in his comeback fight. Martin is promoted by Errol Spence’s Man Down group, but he hasn’t faced many known fighters, which is part of the reason he and Davis don’t have any common opponents.
