Martin is ranked No. 2 behind Davis, meaning he gets the first shot at the belt, aiming to bring his impressive career record to 19-0.

Davis vs. Martin: What was said?
Before his fight with Martin, Davis was targeted by Garcia.
“Tank” handed “KingRy” the only defeat of his career so far and his old foe wants to step into the ring for a rematch soon.
After beating Haney, Garcia posted on X saying, “Everyone wants to talk about the stupid little tank.
“Fight, [enough] of this funny speech. Come see me at 144[lbs] And [let’s] stop talking.
It’s unclear if Davis wants this rematch, but he weighed in on what Garcia should do next in a now-deleted tweet after the Haney fight.
Davis wrote: “Ryan better retire now. He’s going to be seriously injured.”
