Boxing predictions, best bets, odds: David Benavidez, Gervonta Davis

Saturday is a big day in the boxing world, with some of the best fighters in the world stepping into the ring. The biggest fight of the weekend features arguably “the face of boxing” in Gervonta Davis returning to action to defend his WBA lightweight world championship against Frank Martin.

In addition to Davis vs. Martin, Saturday will see two-time former world champion David Benavidez giving up on his pursuit of undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and moving to light heavyweight to face former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the WBC interim title on the undercard. 

Another title fight set for Saturday night sees Gary Antuanne Russell take on Alberto Puello for the vacant WBC interim junior welterweight title. Russell, younger brother of former WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., is a perfect 17-0 with all of those wins coming by knockout. Puello is no slouch himself, however, as he enters with a perfect record as well at 22-0 with 10 knockouts. And the PPV opener sees Carlos Adames look to defend his WBC middleweight title against veteran Terrell Gausha.

Plus, a main event from Puerto Rico featuring IBF junior welterweight champion Subriel Matias defending his title against Liam Parao. In addition, Chris Billam-Smith is set to defend his WBA cruiserweight world championship against Richard Riakporhe, who previously handed Billam-Smith his lone professional loss. That showdown is set to take place in London.
