LAS VEGAS (AP) — Gervonta “Tank” Davis made a triumphant return to the ring after more than a year away. He dominated Frank Martin and knocked him out at 1:29 of the eighth round Saturday night to retain the WBA lightweight championship. Davis delivered a right and two lefts to Martin’s face to send him to the canvass and his first career loss after he won his first 18 fights. Tank again proved to be one of boxing’s most ferocious punchers. He improved to 30-0, with all but two by knockout.
