Newark, N.J. native Shakur Stevenson faces Artem Harutyunyan on Saturday, July 6, 2024 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.LAS VEGAS — Even when others had the microphone at their news conference, Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Frank Martin couldn’t help themselves.
That bout highlights the 100th championship fight night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which has been replaced by T-Mobile Arena as Las Vegas’ prime spot for combat sports. But the MGM has a rich history, and the co-main event will feature the interim WBC light heavyweight title fight between David Benavidez and Oleksandr Gvozdyk.
And Davis likes to talk. Much like the nasty back-and-forth he and Garcia engaged in leading up to their showdown, he hasn’t backed off with Martin. But Davis and Garcia acknowledged after their fight much more shared affection and respect, making their apparent spat look contrived. Those fighters could still be waiting for Davis, but Martin can put a damper on such plans with an upset victory. Davis a -700 favorite at“I appreciate Tank giving me the opportunity to whoop his ,” Martin said. “He just hasn’t been in there with anybody like me.”
Gvozdyk, 37, is 10 years older than Benavidez. The younger fighter is moving up a weight class from super middleweight, so this could be quite a test for Benavidez, a -600 favorite at BetMGM.
