Undefeated Gregory Corbin steps up to face Charles Martin in Texas..

Tomorrow night on the Spence v Garcia undercard in Arlington Texas, Undefeated Dallas heavyweight Gregory Corbin 15/0 (9 Ko’s) takes his first real step up in class when he faces former IBF champion Charles Martin 25/2/1 (23 Ko’s) in an intriguing 10 rounder.. Corbin has been touted highly by those who have witnessed his career from close quarters, including accomplished champions Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield who have helped to advise the 38 year old at the Heavyweight Factory in Florida, unfortunately so far Greg has not faced a single ranked opponent in his 15 outings.. 6 foot 5 inch Corbin, who turned pro in 2012 has fluctuated between 270 and 285 pounds throughout his 7 year career, but has weighed in today at a career lightest at 263, which signifies evidence that he is taking this opportunity deadly serious.. Martin on the other hand looked every inch a potential future champion back in 2015, and even though he did pick up the Vacant IBF title, Charles appeared to burn out, surrendering his belt 12 weeks after winning it, to current champion Anthony Joshua in April of 2016.. Following the loss, the 6 foot 5 inch St Louis native, appeared to run off the rails, posting a string of bizarre social media videos, before being shot in the stomach in a near deadly drive by in California. A year after Martins trip through the twilight zone, he decided to put his life back in order and return to the ring, stopping both Byron Polley and Mike Marrone in quick fashion, before once again stepping to the big time last September to take on undefeated polish born New Yorker, Adam Kownacki. Martin gave a fabulous account of himself that night, losing a unanimous decision but displaying the type of desire many thought had died in the Joshua fight.. Martin is by far the toughest name on Corbins resume, the outcome of this bout really lies within what Greg Corbin brings to the table.. If rumours and gym stories are anything to go by, Corbin is the next big thing, but like in anything, the proof is in the performance.. it’s a very good matchup.
