Gervonta Davis v Frank Martin: Weigh-in
Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images

One of the best boxers in the business will return to action later this evening (Sat., June 15, 2024) live on Prime Video pay-per-view (PPV) from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the undefeated Gervonta “Tank” Davis puts his WBA lightweight title on the line against knockout artist Frank Martin.

Davis, who is 29-0 inside of the ring, is coming off a massive knockout win over Ryan Garcia back in April 2023. “Tank” was highly regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport before that fight, but after seeing what Garcia ended up doing to Devin Haney it makes Davis look that much better. It’s a little alarming that the lightweight champion hasn’t fought in over a year, but he’s had similar layoffs in his career.

Luckily, Saturday’s massive PPV card on Prime Video will feature more than just Davis vs. Martin. In co-main event action, undefeated knockout sensation David Benavidez will move up to challenge Ukrainian veteran Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the interim WBC light heavyweight title. It will be a great night of fights as boxing moves over to Amazon Prime.

Michael Chandler urged to move on from Conor McGregor after failed fight he's done

Hall of Fame star and promotional color-commenator, Daniel Cormier has urged Michael Chandler to move on from a failed UFC 303 fight with Conor McGregor this month – claiming he expects the Dubliner to now retire definitively from mixed martial arts.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined for the last three years – after fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to common-foe, Dustin Poirier.

Conor Dana UFC

And now forced from a UFC 303 return during International Fight Week later this month, McGregor has been struck with an undisclosed injury – and whilst it has been described as not “severe”, the veteran is still expected to be out of action for at least two months.

Seeing himself scratched from the UFC 303 headliner as a result, Chandler will watch on as undisputed light heavyweight kingpin, Alex Pereira drafts into a main event fight on just two weeks notice – in a rematch against former champion, Jiri Prochazka.

Michael Chandler urged to move on from Conor McGregor fight

With speculation rife regarding the immediate fighting future of McGregor – whom UFC CEO, Dana White elected against discussing in the aftermath of his exit from the pay-per-view card, Chandler has been urged to chase other fights by Cormier, in order to snap his almost two-year hiatus.

“He’s (Michael Chandler) got some things to weigh going forward because I don’t know that he should wait anymore,” Daniel Cormier said on his YouTube channel. “I think it’s time to move off of this, and I believe that the overwhelming sentiment is that [Conor McGregor] is done.”

“I thought Conor McGregor was going to come back because to me, Conor McGregor’s a fighter,” Cormier explained. “I know, skill-for-skill, the Conor McGregor of 2015 isn’t the same guy. But I thought that the star was still the same. I just don’t know that he wants to fight. Especially right now.”

Do you think Michael Chandler should move away from a fight with Conor McGregor?
