Dsalita Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe, is confident that WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis will secure a knockout victory against Frank Martin this Saturday night.
Excited about the upcoming Davis-Martin fight, Ellerbe believes it will be a thrilling showdown when the two fighters clash in the main event on PBC on Prime Video PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Tank (29-0, 27 KOs) handpicked Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) as his opponent, showcasing his intention to take on the top fighters in the lightweight division. With a ‘hit list’ of impressive opponents, Tank aims to prove that he is not just the best in his weight class but also among the top boxers globally.
While Ellerbe’s confidence in Tank’s abilities is evident, some question Tank’s true standing in the division, especially since his opponents have mostly been of a lower caliber. Boxing enthusiasts eagerly await to see Tank challenged by top-tier fighters before he potentially retires in the near future.
Despite Ellerbe’s reluctance to discuss a potential matchup between Tank and Shakur Stevenson, fans remain hopeful for such a showdown. They anticipate that Tank will face off against the likes of Stevenson, Lomachenko, or Zepeda in the near future to solidify his status as an elite fighter.
As Tank gears up to take on Martin, Ellerbe predicts a definitive victory for his fighter, emphasizing Martin’s skills but ultimately expressing his unwavering support for Tank. While a knockout victory for Tank seems probable, the true test lies in facing opponents who are considered among the division’s elite.
