No greater event than one of sport and today we are talking a real live David vs Goliath title bout as we chat with the man who knows he's the underdog but believes he's built for this moment. Undefeated Boxer Frank Martin looks to become the new WBA Lightweight World Champion pulling off the upset win over Boxing's best and biggest star, Gervonta "Tank" Davis on June 15th at the MGM Grand Las Vegas.
In partnership with Fanatics, The Pivot Podcast shares an exclusive conversation as Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with Frank "The Ghost" Martin as he prepares to step in the ring with Tank Davis, 29-0 and 27 KOs. Both undefeated talents in their own right, Martin opens up about being an underdog, his anticipations for the showdown, and the pivotal moments that shaped his journey to the ring.
Despite boasting a perfect record of 18-0, Martin remains criminally underrated within his division, a fact he confronts head-on as he discusses his mindset approaching what is undeniably the pinnacle of his career. Delving into the origins of his nickname "The Ghost," Martin dissects the nuances of his fighting style and its potential and favorable impact when he faces Davis, Alluding to the last time the two fighters met in Vegas, a few years ago in a sparring match at The Mayweather Boxing Gym, Martin reveals what really transpired that day and how the man himself, Floyd Mayweather, pulled the two fighters apart after several grueling rounds.
Martin shares with Ryan, Channing and Fred the advice Mayweather has given him over the years and the one key piece he has kept at the forefront of his training, work when your opponent is resting and become mentally strong not just physically. Addressing the false narratives from the press conference and the trash talk spewed from his opponent, Martin turns the words into motivation and confidently tells the guys, "people think they know who I am and what I'm capable of, but have no idea, but soon they will see who Frank Martin really is."
Calling the city of Detroit home, Martin's upbringing created his resilient mindset and unique athleticism, qualities that have raised his current status to become one of the sport's top talents and he explains how working with renowned boxing trainer, Derrick James, has edged even more, increasing his speed and athleticism to a level unlike anything Tank has experienced before.
Martin says this moment is more than just a fight, it's for all the people who felt lost, misguided and not good enough, to know the good guy does win sometimes and this night is about the underdog.

Frank is the perfect example of someone who is quietly confident. His self belief isn't loud, but he's got a "glow" that certainly gives off that his toughness isn't "ON him, but it's IN him..". I'm definitely intrigued by this fight
For sure! His aura.
Well said🤝🏽
Great assessment!
Wow brotha, took the words right out my mouth. This is FACE OF BOXING CHARACTER. That's why I love Crawfords attitude so much 🫡
@@Prophetgoodwin 10000% agreed.
Frank is very well spoken, level headed and confident. This will be a great fight.
Because he's well spoken?
@@terancem6240 did you black out after “well spoken” ?
@@beu2543everyone doubting him blackin out 😂😂😂
lol you know he’s a bad fighter when you rooting for him because he impressed you with his talking
@@ancienttechnique5830well if he was a bad fighter tank wouldn’t be fighting him. zip tanks pants back up bro.
Being from Bmore, Tank is my guy and I'm pulling for Tank. But I always liked Frank's skill and demeanor. I just hope both fighters are healthy and bring their best.
Respect to Frank for steppin in the ring with Tank, but that man Tank is an animal in the ring. I hope bruh ready 😂
He wasn't ready
@@gtswago1he wasn’t ready at all
Buddy was not ready for the assignment
As a boxing fan I love this fight but Tank is going to show Frank what the upper room looks like
...or starin at the bottom rope.
So are you saying that Tank is going to get knocked out
I think he means Franks gonna be looking at the ring floor
Dudes be having all the confidence in the world and Tank be like "don't bring your mom I promise you don't bring your mom's." 😂😂😂 She gon see you get picked up
Until he gets picked up on Saturday 🤷🏾♂️
@@mooniemusictv 😂😂😂🤣
@@mooniemusictv.....He said the same thing to Ryan and he delivered.....you are just a hater!
Facts 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 yeen lien
That's why i like Frank. Always cool, smiling. People want you to be angry and aggressive all the team. You aint gotta look tough everyday 😅. Dont get it twisted. Once that bell ring its go time. Aint no playing around 💯
Frank Martin is one of those dudes that’s just always there…. No matter what you do.. he’ll be the quiet one standing somewhere that’s just still there….
He nothing easy to get rid of
Bruh 😭😭😭😭😭
Tank in 7
@@Qmoney615 I got Tank as well. 8-10
Tank licking his chops after hearing about that liver shot!
Also Tank: you don’t like body shots 😂😂😂
Wish they asked more pressing questions. Frank's last fight wasn't impressive. He says Tank hasn't fought anyone like him. Has he fought anyone like Tank? Frank talks like Tank is a pushover. All hype no smoke. Tank took belts off multiple champions. People ain't laying down for him. They getting stopped. This is a tough fight for Frank. Very tough.
I definitely agree 100%
Well said
They football players bruh
It’s funny cause the more interviews Frank has been in lately, it seems like he’s the one underestimating tank, not the other way around. He gon get hurt bad with that mindset of styles making fights against a fighter who can fight any style.
I don’t think underestimating him at all I think he being himself and know the task at hand and plus you supposed to believe in yourself and your abilities and being confidence
100%
This dude talking right in to getting stopped and spending that bread
Davis been the one underestimating Frank he’s the under dog he just believes in what he can do many people think he has no chance so you gotta stay confident
You’re saying that as a person with no self belief who has never faced chaos head on. Ofc you will say this. No matter what it’s a collision. Don’t be scared homie
I fucks wit Frank!!! Seems like a real thurl humble dude!!!💯💯💯 much respect to this man! He fought a great fight!
This show is called the pivot. Now that the fight is over you guys should pivot and interview him again lol
THIS young Man is OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!
He busy with them podcasts while Tank is grinding!😂
😂
😂 Derrick James just there waiting for paycheck
yup, right after his second workout of the day 😂
@@codingmafia1642 .....Spence gonna vanish after the fight like Oscar did after Tank beat Ryan.😂🤣
Or maybe he is doing what's needed to advertise the fight? Yall really weird af. Get off theses grown men nuts at some point.
Frank is a solid good fighter. Foot work, speed, decent power. Very impressive! With that being said, Tank with the dub 7-10 rounds 🥊🔔. LETS GO
I was one of the few ones to call it..Frank by decision
This joke getting old
@@kingjahman7905put some money on Frank since u believe in him😂
@@yehuncho7630 I bet big bag on Frank for sure! By decision
I like the fact tanks been silent
Y’all tripping. Tank gets this nice guy out of there by the 9th
Hey! Every fighter has a punchers chance when the headgear comes off. Never underestimate the heart of a fighter. Prime example, the Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua bout.
Not true I seen lots of fights the skill level is way to high And they fought a bum that never would beat them or any other mid/high carder
Ryan Clark is sending a message to Frank. You peep what his shirt saying? after Saturday Frank gonna have to accept and adjust lol
Martin gonna be a real threat if he keep grinding. Much respect to the homie. He took that L with grace. Fighting top Dogs only make you better ✊🏾
Your show has grown tremendously proud of you guys!
Im rooting for Frank.
im rooting for the winner which is Tank
Bet your house
Bet 100
I will bet $500 on Frank who down to bet.
@@stephenrobinson3120 Please bet me hahahha
He is definitely carrying that sparring until Tank ko him.
Took the L ..
Tank by decision, frank ain’t no slouch
Coming back to watch this after the fight, Frank Martin predicted his loss 😮💨. He fell into the same trap he said the guys prior fell into
facts
I always say May the best man win on that night, and May they both come out with the same health they went in with.
I’m open to see whoever wins 🏆🥇🎖🏅🎗 as long as they both come out healthy 🤷🏾♂️🤳🏾 just saying tho
💯 💯
Frank love talking about that sparring session. Let’s see if you buckle the legs when it really counts on Saturday
Frank trained at IBG back in the day before COVID I would see him every single day I’m telling y’all he’s going to give Tank work.
Wishful thinking 😂
He's got that good energy, not that naive confidence, no arrogance, just self belief.
Frank by TKO.
@@blacksupremacy1396 you need all that other stuff to be great tbh.. Tank got self belief, arrogance and naive confidence.. you need to believe no one on your level to that extent and until frank has that mentality, he won't beat someone like tank
I’ll be tuned in. Just glad too see two black brothers headlining a card!
Sounds racist to me
Tank not all black
@@tjones617what is he then?
@@tjones617what is he then?
@@tjrichez4297 half white, white black.
Crazy he said everybody fell asleep and he fell asleep in the fight
Here after the fact… he fought good until he didn’t… respect though… he’ll be back…
Who is here watching this after Tank separated dude’s soul from him body? It’s levels to this!
here after the fight and tank was the better man!! salute frank tho
The last few fighters who went on this show before their fight got beat TF up lol
Haha funny comment like who?
@@romeopmusic6319 Ngonnou, Adesanya
Another one 🦍💥🥊
Great interview,great questions good job guys.
Tank packed Frank ass up lol
WELP! this interview didnt AGE WELL 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tank Definitely was not nervous 😂😂😂😂 he walked frank down into them deep waters
I like tank but I want to see Frank Martin win
Frank winning makes the sport better. There can be more than 1 🌟
@xxdarkmidnite7096 quit riding both sides pick your corner pimp
Naw Im the same way, I want to see Frank win, at the sametime I like gervonte... @@woods6337
@@woods6337he doesn't know any of them in real life he doesn't need to pick a side
butt!!! he cant sell. Tank does cause he knocks out opponents. remember mexicans will watch if you are an action boxer
Definitely Tank’s most challenging fights yet…Frank would have to take Tank the distance and make it boring but if tries to knock Tank out that might not work out for him.
Tank gon eat like it’s Tanksgiving
pause
@@alphabah5076😂 that's crafty.
Lol
I’m not going for Tank.. I’m just being Frank
lol… cornball
I don't believe that sparring was one sided in Franks favor. If you look at the Fight Hype video right after Tank and Frank sparred , the host said that he should give them both 100 because the sparring was that good. Franks own dad said that it was like 2 pitbulls, and nobody backed down. I got Tank winning by KO in the 8th round.
Frank didn't say it was 1 sided. He said it was good tough work after he hurt Tank
Well damn ! You called it !
@@chriswoods1256 Yup, 💯💯💪💪
Tank over everybody. Lots of respect to Frank
He a very laid back guy much respect for him 😊
Sad as he'll two of my favorites are fighting each other but I've been riding with tank 7+ years now man I never fold on my boy. Frank Martin is my guy still either way proud of these boys man 💪🏽 may the best man win 💯
Frank bout to get WHOOPED!!! MARYLAND we up another 1️⃣👆🏾
Tank 💰💰💰💰
💯💯
Frank about to be like AT&t and reach out and touch someone.
He's going to touch tank bad and tank is done. Little tank tank. Little tanker.
Tank better where is lucky pink panties
BALTIMORE
@@johnellg9399 😩😅
I met Frank a couple years ago when no one knew who he was on the south side of Indianapolis. We had a mutual friend so I stuck up a conversation with him. Believe me when I tell you, he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. We talked boxing and other things. He is truly someone you can easily get behind and cheer for. I'm with Frank all the way with this one. 👍🏼
A lot of fighters got beat that talked about the fight on the pivot right before the fight. 🤣🤣🤣
frank did do soemtype of work with tank you can tell by how tank trainer was talking during the press. "please push tanks button"
This Broadcast literally make you to relax , forget about fight and focus on the life
Channing killing me wit those Jordan Lows 😂
I like Frank! And he says all the right things! I just hate when fighters do this and then they lose and start making excuses about how this and that went wrong throughout camp. See it happen more times than not, I hope this time is different
Impressive guy - Respect for Frank Martin. I still got Tank winning though!
Damn tank definitely going for that liver shot
I remember during the press tank kept saying “ you don’t like body shots “ 😂😂😂😂
Liver shots hurt every fighter. It happens.
@@takarahowell8183HE SURE DID
AND LAWD I HOPE HE REALLY REALLY PAID ATTENTION!!!!!!!!
thats exactly what i think gon end it
I’m telling yall if you are a fighter you come on this show before you fight you are losing im telling you look at the fighters who have came on this show before they fought and lost
Obese Facts!
Tank understands that all fighters have their day there's a 100% chance he sleeps on Frank,yet Frank doesn't have the ring experiencet needed to beat Tank...
Frank talks a good game but then when you really think about it, he facing Tank!
😂rs tho
Gervinta Davis is a human being,anyone can be touched
@@freemind5454 And nobody said he can't be touched
Best frank interview All week. Great job fellas 👍🏼
Boston 3z up!
Tank is going to put on a clinic this weekend. Complete and utter domination that will end in an exciting stoppage. The stoppage will come by either a body shot or a crushing right hook. Frank will be in top condition, so it may go at least 8-10 rounds.
Frank literally has a punchers chance at best, to win this fight.
This is a Win-Win situation for Frank..If he wins, he’s a household name, If he loses but give tank that work in the process, he’s a household name regardless. I’m betting on “The Ghost”
YOU LOST ME ON BETTING ON THE GHOST ❗️
Great interview Frank
Proud of him fasho. He got a chance . May the best man win.
Tank smart choosing to box Frank Martin now before he actually improves/gains further experience. Tank knows Martin will move up and beat guys and he don't want Martin then, he want him now and use him as a warm up.
Frank trying to convince everybody he really like that and really gotta chance😂
Frank gon win
@@Alex-bd4ov lol oh yea??
@@McfishkinsDon't believe that bozo we know wassup 😂💀
For those who don't know : SPARRING is not a fight. It's closer to slap boxing & a game of catch at a BBQ with your friends, frenemies & family. Different levels of intensity and animosity. Your sparring partner is also your PARTNER. You work together. If you hurt all your sparring partners all the time, they won't want to spar with you.
Sparring partners from a different gym is more like a fight or "SMOKERS."
(For those that fought / fight Smokers.)
You can tear their head because they probably aren't coming back anyway plus they are trying to tear your head off because they probably aren't coming back anyway. If they do, then you have "Gym Wars" or "SPAR WARS." etc.....The only 2 exceptions a Detroit & Philly....where they try to tear your head off, every time, regardless of who you are. If Santa Clause or even Muhammad Ali himself, holding the torch, all shaking and shyt, were to step between those ropes, they are going to try & blast his @$$ outta there.
Frank & Tank seem like mirror images of each other, both saved by boxing but with that hard life still within them. Opposites attract & Like repels. (Magnetic law*)
I don't expect either one to plan on giving an inch both not only willing to stand their ground but, also wanting to advance and finish off their opponent in the most brutally spectacular fashion.
I like Frank and I like Tank. May the best man win.
I'm rolling with Frank win lose or draw.
*🔥🤯👻🥊🏆🔥*
Clearly Yal knew fans because frank is a great fighter. I don’t think he win but he is great
As long as frank doesn’t get knocked out or stopped he gone level up crazy after cause bro really got skills
Frank seem to be a pretty solid dude 👊🏽
I like this dude man. Seems really down to earth
He was a dope guest. Was talking dat ish.
I like Frank I wish he took the Shakur fight he could have won but I got to see him get KO by Tank
Damn he just got KO’d
The comment the one person made about " don't bring your mom's " they told Crawford the same shit😂
It's been nice meeting Frank🙏🏾 but I find it hard to believe that Tanks camp would take a fight they think there might be a chance of losing 😂 Tank in the 5th
They should have both fighters on the show. Not at the same time but separate. Capitalize on the marketing
Million Dollars worth of game had both.
They do get both fighters. There’s actually a curse whoever they interview first loses. It happens with Izzy (ufc) and Spence.
Cuz we all know who would be acting nervous and goofy.. Tank
@@aramismcginty918 right they did do it.
@@cruzrenteria9134great platform
Frank Martin talks a good game. Let’s see if he can walk the walk.
Great questions from the hosts. Genuine answers from the guest. 💯
Another Great by The Pivot Podcast Show!!!! Shout to All!! @ FGM Best of Luck!!!!! Have a Good Fight against GTD! Thanks to the Pivot for Your Platform!
Callin it now Tank gonna win by brutal body shot KO 6-7 round
Keep ya head up Frank, you fought well
Smart, well-spoken dude. Easy to root for him
Has anyone else realized how many interviews this kid frank been doing tank in the field rn working as he is speaking with interviewers 😂
tank is household name wym 😂😂 frank up and coming what you expect
Say fool you sound like a casual stop it interviews part of the sport
Bud was doing the same thing. Then beat the stuffing outta turkey foot Errol
He gotta build up his fan base, the only way to make real money down the line.
@@jalenb23frank up an coming were? Boxing damn near scripted with this PBC STUFF
Good Day Gentlemen. Love your show, and content. Where can I purchase one of those shirts you’re wearing. Adapt, Adjust,and move Forward. Great shirt 💯💯🙏🏼
Frank a solid dude. Im rooting for him in this fight💯💪🏾
Maaaan great interview; 😂😂😂 he got slept tho
It's your time Ghostman. Handle business make history cause a quantum shift.🔥🤯🥊🏆🔥
At the press conference, he looked shook and Tank definitely got in his head, after the press conference, Tank had him waiting patiently as he pulled up the sparring session video on his phone...like what??? He should've dipped off like nah see you on fight night or next press conference...
A Shadow disappears when its bright lights. A ghost is always present 😮
This Podcast was not thinking about Frank until now, he's fighting Tank. See what happen to Earrol when he sat in that chair.
Errol was in that chair more than 1 time
😂😂😂
I wanna see a good fight. Wishing both these brothers good health after the fight
The big question I think is whether or not it goes the distance
Frank just comes across as a genuine dude. Love him as an opponent for Tank cause outside of Pitbull, he haven't fought a legit opponent imo. I do like Tank to win the fight but I really think Frank will make it a good one. I'm ready for this one
Every fighter that has gone on this show before a fight lost !
Frank finna shock the world! tank a hype job. Texas riding with Frank! lets go champ
Hahahhahaha hype job..😅😅😅😅😅😅 YEAH OK REMEBER WHAT YOU JUST SAID
.HYPE JOB

Not all of Texas my friend 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 I think hype job was a bad choice of words 😭
😂😂😂😂😂Sorry! I'm ridin wit Tank fam....💯
lol 😂 tank is nothing more than a prize fighter. I keep telling people that he puts asses in seats and put checks in pockets. That’s all.
BRUH HE CAN HAVE ALL THAT CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD. BUT COME FIGHT NIGHT THEM LIGHTS AND WHEN TANK AINT THAT SAME FIGHTER HE SPARRED.HE SAID BACK WHEN HE FOUGHT LEO SANT CRUZ..C'MON. TANK WASN'T EVEN THE MAN HE IS TODAY HE'S A DIFFERENT ANIMAL..
