Tank Davis responded to Frank Martin calling him out: “[He’s] Ready for bed”


Via Adam Baskin: Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis reacted with delight after hearing Frank Martin call him out last Saturday night following the best win of his career over Michel Rivera in Las Vegas.

Martin (17-0, 12 KOs) told the media after the match that he wants to face WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Gervonta or Devin Haney next.

Martin, 27, is now a mandatory WBA 135 lb challenger thanks to a title elimination win over Rivera (24-1, 14 KOs).

Tank Davis (27-0.25 KOs) responded with the following comment to Frank Martin’s call:

“Yes, getting ready for bed. It’s all about food,” Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis said on social media about Frank Martin’s appeal.

Martin is not a great boxer like Tank, and he doesn’t have that kind of hand speed. The only chance that Martin can beat Tank is if he can get past him like he did with Rivera, but that will be difficult because he will be hit a lot.

Unlike Rivera, Tank won’t be afraid to let go. He will chase Martin, trying to knock him down with every shot he throws.

With that said, Tank had two battles in 2023 with Hector Luis Garcia on January 7th and Ryan Garcia on April 15.

Unless either of those matches fail, the earliest Gervonta could take on Martin would be late summer.

It’s best for Frank to build a Tank Davis or Devin Haney fight by facing Shakur Stevenson next. The highly ranked #2 WBO, #3 WBC, #5 IBF, and #5 WBA Shakur (19-0.9 KO) lightweight opponents are yet to be scheduled.

Shakur also called Martin last night after his win over Rivera, and he was serious. He needed an opponent after being turned down by Isaac Cruz, William Zepeda and George Kambosos Jr.

“We want it all. We can get Gervonta Davis. We can get Devin Haney. Any kind of person, we’re ready,” Martin said when interviewed last Saturday night after his win over Michel Rivera in Las Vegas.

“I see Rolly here. Rolly is my guy. We can go there too. Make it happen, man.

“I confused him. He relied on that right hand the whole game,” Martin said of the previously unbeaten Rivera. “I guess he feels who is the stronger man.”
