NEW YORK (June 5, 2024) — PPV.COM, which does not require a subscription, returns to the ring when it live streams to boxing fans, in the U.S. and Canada, the summer’s most exciting boxing card on U.S. soil, featuring undefeated superstars Gervonta “Tank” Davis and David “El Monstruo” Benavidez in separate title fights. A three-division world champion, Davis (29-0, 27 KOs), from Baltimore, Maryland, will defend his WBA lightweight world title against the WBA’s no. 2 world-rated contender Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs), from Indianapolis, Indiana. Fresh from a brutal stoppage victory of previously undefeated former two-division world champion Demetrius Andrade, Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), from Las Vegas, Nevada, will move up in weight to challenge former WBC light heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs), who fights out of Oxnard, California. They will be battling for the vacant interim WBC light heavyweight title. The stacked four-bout pay-per-view event will take place next Saturday, June 15, beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, emanating from The MGM Grand Garden Arena, which will be hosting its 100th championship boxing event. Priced at $74.99, the Davis vs. Martin / Benavidez vs. Gvozdyk world championship event can be ordered by clicking here PPV.COM: Davis-Martin/Benavidez-Gvozdyk
“June 15 will provide further evidence of whether Tank Davis ranks among the top five pound for pound, and if so, how close to the top?? It’s also an opportunity for David Benavidez to establish a meaningful 175-pound marker against a battle-tested opponent with a noteworthy background as both an amateur and a professional. A stunning upset in either fight would mark a new identity threshold for Frank Martin or Oleksandr Gvozdyk. We’ll be there to identify the bottom line,” said Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Lampley, who will be co-hosting the exclusive viewer chat, in real time, during the PPV.COM Davis vs. Martin / Benavidez vs. Gvozdyk world championship event live stream.
Joining Jim on the viewer chat will be award-winning boxing journalist Lance Pugmire and popular podcast host Dan Canobbio. Jim, Lance, and Dan, along with former WBO junior welterweight world champion Chis Algieri will also be providing exclusive fight week commentary and reports from Las Vegas for PPV.COM‘s website and social platforms, like Lampley’s interview with Davis after the announcement press conference: Gervonta “Tank” Davis sits down with PPV.COM’s Jim Lampley ahead of Tank vs. Martin. – YouTube
