When is Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin? All known details for the return of 'Tank'

Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin is reportedly planned for June 15.

'Tank' hasn't appeared in the ring since a knockout win over Ryan Garcia last April. Following the win, Davis found himself in a bit of legal trouble, but he's now eyeing a return to the ring. Over the last few weeks, the WBA lightweight champion has been in discussion to face a variety of opponents.

Despite heated talks with Eddie Hearn and Conor Benn, Davis will seemingly face Frank Martin next. According to multiple reports, the champion was looking to finalize a bout with 'The Ghost' in the coming days. Davis himself posted a fan-made poster to social media, seemingly confirming a fight with Martin.

Now, fans know the planned fight date. As first reported by Boxing Scene, Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin is planned for June 15. The two will headline an Amazon Prime pay-per-view, the second of the PBC's new deal with the streaming service.

As of now, the fight location for the championship bout isn't known. However, in late January, reports emerged about Davis' next bout taking place in the UK. While that's not confirmed, it would be his first fight in England since a knockout win over Liam Walsh in 2017.
