Two of the hottest fighters in boxing will be heating up Las Vegas on June 15th as Gervonta “Tank” Davis defends his WBA lightweight title against unbeaten Frank Martin, while the fearsome David Benavidez makes his light heavyweight debut against Oleksandr Gvozdyk.
Both bouts, as well as the undercard bouts, will be broadcast on Prime Video.
Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is fresh off a spectacular seventh-round knockout victory over Ryan Garcia last April. In a showdown between two unbeaten southpaws, the pound-for-pound star will face one of the best young lightweights in the world, with many thinking Martin will be a formidable opponent.

Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), a two-time super middleweight champion who opted to move up a weight class after a bout with Canelo Alvarez fell through, will face “The Mexican Monster” in the highly respected and experienced former WBC light heavyweight champion Gvozdyk.
Sporting News will have the full card and live round-by-round updates from both bouts.
Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin live updates, highlights and commentary
9:27 PM ET: The third round heats up as Russell attacks Puelo on the inside. The Dominican fighter doesn't take any damage from strikes, but he's behind on the points. Back in the dressing room, Tank appears calm and relaxed with his hands bandaged.
9:23 PM ET: Russell looked to have the upper hand in this all-southpaw bout, dominating the first two rounds with his jab and sharp bodywork, but Puelo's boxing was on point and his height, range and safety-first style posed stylistic problems for the American.
9:12 PM ET: The next bout will see the super-skilled and super-speedy Gary “Antuan” Russell facing off against Alberto Puelo for the WBC interim super lightweight title. The introductions have started and we can expect a better match than Adames vs. Gausha.
And still the WBC Middleweight Champion of the World…Carlos Adames. Official scores: 119-109, 118-110, 118-110. Adames improves to 24-1 (18 KOs), while Gausha falls to 24-4-1 (12 KOs).
9pm ET: After 12 unforgettable rounds of championship boxing, we move on to the scorecards: will Carlos Adames be able to defend his WBC middleweight title or will Terrell Gausha be the new champion?
8:55 PM ET: With this extremely disappointing fight heading into the deciding rounds, and the outcome of the WBC middleweight title being very difficult to determine, the good news is that David Benavidez is primed and ready to step up in the co-main event against Oleksandr Gvozdyk later this week.
8:41 PM ET: The seventh round was a very monotonous one, but Adames finally broke through with some ferocious attacks to the head and body, and the bout came to life. Gausha avoided the worst of it, but it was the most crucial round of the match for the champion.
8:29 PM ET: After four rounds, Adames, the first middleweight champion from the Dominican Republic, appears to have a slight points advantage. Neither fighter is injured and the bout remains tricky.
8:12 PM ET: The first bout is on the cards, as hard-hitting Carlos Adames defends his WBC middleweight title against Terrell Gausha in what will be Adames' first title defense since being promoted to full champion.
7pm ET: Hello and welcome to Sporting News' live coverage of the WBA lightweight title fight between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Frank Martin. We're counting down the time until the event starts, and we'll be back with you in an hour.
