At the heart of Davis’ training camp, trainers Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis are pioneering a novel approach by studying the structure of Frank Martin’s skull, specifically targeting the zygomatic bone and maxillary sinus. This detailed anatomical analysis aims to find areas where Martin might be more susceptible to punches, a strategy that speaks volumes about the evolving nature of fight preparation. Davis, known for his formidable punching power, has inflicted significant injuries on opponents in the past. The focus on such specific anatomical details reveals the team’s commitment to leveraging every possible advantage in the ring.

Gervonta Davis’ path to this pivotal fight hasn’t been without its hurdles. His career momentarily veered off course due to legal troubles, including a 44-day jail term for violating house arrest terms related to a hit-and-run incident. These setbacks could have derailed many fighters, but Davis has shown resilience and determination to return stronger. As he prepares to step back into the ring, this fight represents more than just another title defense; it’s an opportunity for redemption and to prove that he remains one of the top talents in the lightweight division.

A Defining Moment for Martin

On the other side of the ring, Frank Martin enters this bout with an unblemished record of 18 professional wins, making him a formidable opponent. Known for his agility and technical prowess, Martin’s performance against Davis could very well define his career. This fight not only offers him a chance to claim the WBA 147lb title but also to make a statement against one of the division’s most powerful punchers. The meticulous preparation by Davis’ camp, focusing on exploiting potential vulnerabilities, sets the stage for a clash that will test both fighters’ skills, strategy, and resilience.

Gervonta Davis’ team are kicking off preparations for ‘Tank’s’ upcoming clash with Frank Martin by studying the Detroit dangerman’s skull.

The unbeaten lightweights have reportedly agreed to face each other for Davis’ WBA 147lb strap in late spring or early summer.

According to ESPN, the matchup will headline a PBC card on Prime Video pay-per-view.

Davis’ coaches Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis will now begin looking at Martin ahead of the fight.

Usually, this involves combing through hours of fight footage and coming up with a battle plan from there.

But Ellis and Ford have taken the unorthodox approach of studying Martin’s skull density as they size up the 29-year-old’s punch resistance.

“Phase one. Up early studying Frank Martin’s Skull. [He has] very thin Zygomatic bone and a thin muscle layer,” wrote Ellis on Instagram.

“[There’s] Very high maxillary sinus. Man, oh, Man. [He’s a] good kid [with a] good team, though, no disrespect.”

For the uninitiated, the zygomatic bone is one of a pair of bones on each upper side of the face that forms the cheek and part of the eye socket while the maxillary sinus is a hollow space in the bones around the nose.

Ellis’ statement may give an insight into some potential target areas for Davis when he goes toe-to-toe with Martin.

Davis broke Hector Luis Garcia’s eye socket and cheekbone when they squared off in January of last year while he also cracked Ryan Garcia’s ribs in Davis’ last outing 10 months ago.

‘Tank’ has been sidelined since the Garcia fight due to legal issues.

The 29-year-old spent 44 days behind bars after violating the terms of his house arrest.

In May, Davis was sentenced to 90 days of home detention over a hit-and-run car crash in November 2020 that injured four people, including a pregnant woman.

Davis was expected to spend his home detention at his trainer Ford’s house but a judge ruled that he had violated the terms of his house arrest after moving to a hotel and then a new home, without obtaining permission.

Like Davis (29-0), Martin is undefeated having won all 18 of his professional bouts.

Since making his debut in the paid ranks seven years ago he has been steadily climbing the lightweight rankings and now finds himself ranked No2 with the WBA, whose title he will be fighting for against Davis.

Martin’s resume is considerably thinner than Davis’ but he looks to be a world-level competitor off of the eye test.
