After more than a year out of the ring, Gervonta Davis is all set to step back into it this Saturday, when he will take on undefeated Frank Martin for Tank’s WBA lightweight belt.
Davis is one of the biggest draws in the sport, so there should be a ton of hype for this one, but that hasn’t really been the case. Davis has expressed frustration with how the fight has been promoted, and even skipped the grand arrivals on Tuesday. And now, he’s taking out his frustration on Martin.
Tank Davis makes Frank Martin flinch durin face-off
At the face-off following Wednesday’s press conference, Davis stepped right up to Martin’s face and began trash-talking. He then faked like he was going to throw a punch, forcing Martin to flinch and get ready for battle.
Honestly, it was a very quick reaction from Martin in which he showcased his reaction time. But Davis wasn’t impressed and instead laughed at him. This came after Davis openly mocked Martin during the presser.
Davis looks genuinely annoyed during the lead-up to this event. That could be scary for Martin, or it could be an advantage if Tank is distracted even a little bit.
