Ryan Martin has been used to being the favorite in every fight throughout his pro career. The Chattanooga native was expected to defeat journeymen fighters and gatekeepers on his way to becoming a legit prospect.
Now the undefeated junior welterweight contender will have to adjust to something that he is not familiar with: being the underdog.
“Blue Chip” Martin will face junior welterweight contender Josh Taylor this Saturday night at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The 12-round bout will be streamed live on DAZN (2 p.m. ET).
DAZN is a live-streaming service that costs $9.99 a month, but there is a free 30-day trial period.
Martin is participating in the World Boxing Super Series 140-pound eliminations, an eight-man single-elimination tournament. The winner becomes the consensus best fighter in the junior welterweight division and wins the Muhammad Ali trophy.
