Boxing fans wondered if Gervonta Davis would have ring rust when he took on opponent Frank Martin on Saturday.
Amsterdam News has been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
Boxing fans wondered if Gervonta Davis, who had been out of the ring for 14 months, for reasons including spending 44 days in jail stemming from a 2020 hit-and-run accident in which he was driving a vehicle with a revoked license, would have ring rust when he took on opponent Frank Martin on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a lightweight matchup.
“Yeah, there’s a little rust, but it’s OK. I’m back,” Davis said. “A couple rounds, I feel as though I ain’t warm up completely how I wanted to. I did warm up, but I got cold as the fights going on before me. But it’s OK. No excuses.” “Frank Martin was a great fighter. He put up a good four to five rounds,” said Davis. “I was finding my range. had a decent jab and was moving a lot and I just had to break him down as the fight went on.
In the co-main event, David Benavidez won the interim WBC light heavyweight championship with a 119-109, 117-111, 116-112 unanimous victory over former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk.
