LAS VEGAS — Gervonta Davis got one over on Frank Martin in their first faceoff ahead of their much-anticipated boxing match.
Davis (29-0) is scheduled to defend his WBA lightweight title against Martin (18-0) on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. On Wednesday, the two met for the event’s pre-fight press conference that was relatively uneventful until the faceoffs at the end.
“Tank” quickly got in Martin’s face and the pair spent a few minutes jawing back and forth, with Davis repeating that he is “going to touch you up” while Martin replied that they’ll see on Saturday. Tension continued to build as the faceoff prolonged, culminating in a moment at the end where Davis feinted, drawing out a flinch from “The Ghost.” Davis then laughed dismissively at the challenger as he and his team walked off.
