This Saturday, the sports and entertainment world will get a much-needed shot in the arm. For sports fans, the world of boxing is always of high interest, especially when you have champions who deliver knockout victories, time after time. The fight game will again take center stage in American culture when Tank Davis continues the tradition of world-class boxing. Big-time boxing returns from the Vegas ring to the big screen in your living room. Gervonta (Tank) Davis is a fighter with the power and ability to deliver just that excitement. In 29 bouts, he’s delivered 27 knockouts with a 93.1 knockout percentage. The product of Baltimore, Maryland, is hands-down the star of the boxing world right now. Davis is not only powerful but also skilled as a fighter. He has not shown any technical weaknesses that could be exploited. Repeatedly supplying every ingredient that boxing fans are looking for, whether you’re a novice fan or a seasoned examiner of the sweet science. After most recently stopping the electric Ryan Garcia in round seven in his last fight, the notion of any immediate threats to his title evaporated. The WBA lightweight champion has seen no comers who have been able to defeat him as he continues to hold the most valuable title any fighter wants to keep - the title of “undefeated.”Frank Martin is the challenger who’s not just a fighter looking for an opportunity to steal the spotlight. Martin is also an undefeated fighter, boasting 18 bouts with 12 knockouts. “The Ghost,” as he is known, is taking a genuine step up in the quality of competition and pressure. He has much to prove, no matter how confident he may be. Both men are southpaws, and both men show major aggression and heart. Still, Davis enters the ring with visible and proven punching power that separates the two. When these two intense fighters enter the ring, the question is who wants it more. Boxing is an anything-can-happen, at-any-time sport. Frank Martin embodies that threat in many ways, making this bout potentially memorable. The list of legit challengers to Davis is concise, and Martin has earned his spot atop that list. MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas is home to several historic moments in boxing history. It will also be the home of this one. The city and the arena possess the full spectrum of ticket buyer experiences to complement fight night, but what is always most important will be the pay-per-view draw and the final box office numbers. Tank Davis is the cash cow in the ring on June 15th without question, but “The Ghost” will have to come to life to put his name on the big checks. Another knockout victory for Davis would also catapult him into a frightening altitude as a certified knockout artist who may sit on the championship throne for a long time.
