Gervonta ’Tank’ Davis vs Frank ’The Ghost’ Martin Full Fight Highlights

Gervonta “Tank” Davis made a triumphant return, defending his WBA lightweight title with an eighth-round knockout of Frank “The Ghost“ Martin on Saturday night. Despite a 14-month hiatus, Davis’s power remained undiminished. He dropped Martin with a crushing left hand, improving his record to 30-0 while Martin fell to 18-1. This was Davis’s first fight since his knockout of Ryan Garcia in April 2023, marking the longest layoff of his career. In the early rounds, Martin’s impressive footwork allowed him to evade Davis. However, Davis remained unfazed. “I knew he was going to tire down,“ Davis said during an in-ring interview. “So that’s why I was just standing there, being a target for him just so he could tire himself out. And once he tired himself out, you know me, I started picking him apart.“ During the post-fight interview, Davis reviewed the final moments of the eighth round – a left uppercut that staggered Martin, followed by a left cross that ended the fight. “Boom,“ Davis exclaimed with delight as he watched the replay, which showed the knockout at 1:29 of the eighth round. Martin acknowledged understanding Davis’s strategy to let him tire out, noting that he had tried to slow down to avoid it. Still, Davis’s power prevailed, contributing to his 28 knockouts in 30 fights. “He came in and landed a big shot, and it was a shot I didn’t see,“ Martin said. Davis admitted feeling “a little rusty,“ as if he hadn’t fully warmed up in the early rounds. “But it’s OK, I’m back,“ he affirmed.
