Frank Martin just wants his rightful recognition.
The rising lightweight contender knows this is the fight that can deliver it and bring him to the opponents amongst whom he believes he belongs.
Martin pounced on his opportunity to do so, and he will square off against fellow undefeated contender Michel Rivera on Saturday night at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in a 12-round WBA lightweight title eliminator. Martin is ranked 10th in the WBA’s rankings, while Rivera ranks No. 2. At the top of the division, 24-year-old Devin Haney reigns as the undisputed champion, while 24-year-old Ryan Garcia and 28-year-old Gervonta Davis rank near the top as two of the sport’s most-electrifying and followed stars. On top of that, 25-year-old, two-division champion Shakur Stevenson just moved up and entered the weight class.
“Yeah, absolutely,” Martin responded when asked if he believes he’s on the same level as the aforementioned fighters. “If I wasn’t feeling like I was on that level, I wouldn’t even be taking this fight. This fight puts me right there, I wouldn’t even be trying to get to this point if I wasn’t ready for it.”
