In a direct message to Martin via social media, Davis issued a challenge, emphasizing the fan interest and the potential for a blockbuster fight.
“Everybody right now, y’all tag Frank Martin. We gotta run that. No disrespect, let’s fight. The fans want to see it. It will be a hell of a fight,” Davis declared, rallying support for the matchup.

Hoping to give what the fans want, he even referred to the time they ran into an altercation. “Let the world know, I want to fight Frank Martin out of everybody,” he concluded. Of course, the message came to Frank Martin’s notice. Taking to his Instagram Story, Martin replied, “Say less.”
Martin’s Response
Frank Martin, who recently experienced his first professional loss, didn’t hesitate to respond.

The gesture was interpreted by FightHype as a confirmation that Martin is prepared to step into the ring against Davis, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown.

A History of Tension
The roots of this impending matchup trace back to an altercation between Davis and Martin prior to the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford fight. During an interview with Fight Hub TV, Martin found himself interrupted by Davis, who made pointed remarks about Martin’s profile in the sport.
“I’m just getting to know you, Sir,” Davis quipped, implying Martin’s lack of prominence in the boxing world. The incident, captured on camera, quickly gained traction online, adding fuel to the rivalry between the two fighters.
Building Momentum
With both fighters now committed to the bout, anticipation is building within the boxing community. Davis’s proactive approach in calling out Martin has garnered significant attention, reflecting his determination to carve out a path among boxing’s elite.
