But after doing his time, Davis is now free to continue his boxing career and defend the crown he claimed after Devin Haney vacated before moving up in weight. 

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

A win for either man would likely set up the chance of a unification bout later this year, so it's a must-watch clash.

Davis vs Martin: What has been said?

Ahead of his bout with Davis, Martin has been speaking about his plans. 

Despite being undefeated in his professional career, the challenger is a heavy underdog heading into this one, but he doesn't care.

Speaking at his pre-fight media workout, he said: "I feel like this is one of those moments where all the hard work I put in is paying off.

"This just feels like a life-changing moment.

"I believe in myself, even if the world is against me.

"It’s just time for me to show up and show out.

"We all know what ‘Tank’ brings, but a lot of guys don’t know what I bring.

"He’s got it all, but on fight night, the world will see that I’ve got it all, too."
