Gervonta Davis is already in great shape over two months out from his next fight against Frank Martin.

‘Tank’ recently confirmed on social media that he would be returning to the ring against Martin on June 22 in Houston, Texas.

The fight has not been officially announced at the time of writing, however, Davis is already hard at work preparing for his upcoming clash.

Following a grueling session, the Baltimore banger flaunted his ripped physique in a video uploaded to X on Sunday evening as fans expressed their concerns for Martin.

Reacting to the video, one supporter wrote: “That boy in shape I feel sorry for Frank.”

Another tweeted: “Boy Frank Martin is in a world of trouble, 2 months out and Tank looks like this.”

A third added: “Frank Martin might be going to sleep I can’t lie.”

Davis has been out of action since his seventh-round knockout win over Ryan Garcia in April last year.

Shortly after the triumph, he spent 44 days in prison for violating the terms of a sentence which initially saw him avoid jail time.

Last May, Davis was sentenced to 90 days of home detention, three years probation and 200 hours of community service over his November 2020 hit-and-run car crash which injured four people.

He was later found guilty of violating the terms of his home detention and as a result, was ordered to serve the rest of his 90-day sentence in jail.

However, he is now free to move on with his career after having his ankle monitor removed and will box Martin in his first fight back after 14 months.

It was initially reported that the bout was being targeted for June 15 but Davis has since affirmed that it has been pushed back seven days.

The Toyota Centre in Houston, Texas – which is the rumoured venue for the contest – was already booked by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion on June 15.

Davis confirmed that this was the reason for the slight delay in a tweet, posted last week, reading: “I let Meg do her thing… week after.”

The 29-year-old, who was officially elevated to become the WBA lightweight world champion in January following Devin Haney’s decision to vacate, will defend his strap against Martin on the night.

Martin is ranked No.2 with the major sanctioning body and is undefeated at 18-0.

The best win of his fledgling career came against surging contender Michel Rivera in December 2022.

That fight put Martin’s name on the map at 135lbs and proved he is ready to step up to world title level.

In his last outing, he beat Artem Harutyunyan in a competitive bout.

Many felt Martin was well tested in this bout, as he only won by narrow scores of 115-112, 115-112, 114-113.

Harutyunyan is reportedly now being lined up to face Shakur Stevenson on July 6 as a result of his performance against Martin.

It has been confirmed to The Ring that Gervonta Davis will defend his WBA lightweight title against Frank Martin in late spring/early summer on Amazon Prime, headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event on Pay-Per-View.

Davis hasn’t fought since his win over Ryan Garcia in a mega-event last April. The Baltimore native served 44 days in a detention center in June having violated terms to his 90-day house arrest at the home of his long-time trainer Calvin Ford. Davis had pled guilty to taking part in a car accident involving four people in November 2020.

Since his release, he has been linked to several possible fights, including a recent offer from Eddie Hearn to move up to welterweight and face Conor Benn. That always looked a stretch for Tank, who has long fought on the PBC umbrella.

Meanwhile, Martin was riding the crest of a wave and primed to face Shakur Stevenson last fall for the vacant WBC 135-pound belt. However, at the last minute he backed away from the deal and hasn’t fought since. While it was startling at the time, it always looked as though PBC had something up their sleeve for Martin, and a fight with Davis apparently made the most sense.

Davis (29-0, 27 knockouts), rated at No. 2 by The Ring at lightweight, impressively took the IBF 130-pound title from Jose Pedraza (TKO 7) in 2017. Since then, his star has risen and he is one of the most popular attractions in America, regularly selling out arenas across the country and performing on Showtime Pay-Per-View.

The 29-year-old owns a highlight-reel knockout over Leo Santa Cruz (KO 6) and showed that his vaunted power carries up in weight when he came on strong to stop the much larger Mario Barrios (TKO 11) at 140 pounds. More recently, he stopped WBA 130-pound titlist Hector Luis Garcia (TKO 9) and then dismantled Ryan Garcia (KO 7) in a fight that garnered 1.2 million PPVs.

Martin (18-0, 12 KOs), rated at No. 6 by The Ring at lightweight, won his first 11 fights and started working with then-unified welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr. and his trainer Derrick James. The leg-up has benefited Martin, who has gone from strength to strength, taking the unbeaten record of Jerry Perez (KO 7), stopping one-time contender Romero Duno (TKO 4) and Jackson Marinez (TKO 10).

He was hugely impressive dominating Michel Rivera (UD 12) in a match up of unbeaten prospects. The 29-year-old southpaw had a harder time than expected and had to come on late to edge out Artem Harutyunyan (UD 12) last July.
