Hello and welcome to tonight’s WBA lightweight championship fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin. The popular Davis, a Baltimore native unbeaten in 29 professional fights, is back in action for the first time since last year’s seventh-round knockout of Ryan Garcia, which appeared to confer his status as the face of American boxing. He will be defending his title at 135lbs against Martin, an undefeated challenger from Indianapolis.
