The result was keep. Clearly this guy is a subject of sustained media interest. Whether he really has made waves in the boxing world, a question raised by several delete votes, is not for us to judge. Shii (tock) 03:22, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Relisting per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 6. This article was deleted in a Afd, but a review was requested. The outcome of that review was to relist the article for a fresh AfD. I am listing this as an administrative action only, and offer no opinion on the outcome.-- RoySmith (talk) 02:14, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

(help)The article notes:
Why he’s a prospect: Martin had a very impressive amateur background during which he fought over 200 fights, winning 12 national titles to form a very solid base from which to start.
Martin won the National Junior Golden Gloves title three times (2005-07), the National Silver Gloves (2005) and National Junior Olympics (2006) among other tournaments. He also competed in numerous international duels. His U-19 National title win in 2009 should be viewed as the biggest success of his amateur career. Early in Martin’s amateur career he was tabbed by then middleweight champion of the world Jermain Taylor as one to look out for.
Taylor dubbed Martin “Kid London.”
The article notes:
US lightweight boxer Ryan ‘Blue Chip’ Martin has signed a two-year endorsement deal with Revolution Wear’s Frigo brand.
As part of the sponsorship Martin will where Frigo underwear during every weigh-in and fight for the next two years. He will also wear a new uniform designed by Everlast which will feature the Frigo logo for every fight.
Cleveland-based Martin launched his endorsement of the underwear brand in last night’s match at the Roseland Ballroom in which he defeated Jose Del Valle.
Martin, a client of Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson’s SMS Promotions, made his professional debut against Darus Somieri on 16th September 2013 in New York.
The article notes:
After more than 200 amateur fights and 12 national championships under various labels, Chattanooga boxer Ryan Martin has gone pro. And he's hooked up with someone whose very name means coin.
Martin, most recently a Golden Gloves 132- and 141-pound open participant, is set to make his professional debut in the 135-pound lightweight class on Sept. 16 at the Resorts World Casino in New York City. He has a promotional deal with SMS Promotions, owned by rapper 50 Cent.
The article notes:
Ryan Martin was pushing a lawnmower around a Hixson front yard last September, trying to put an extra $20 in his pocket, when his cell phone rang.
"It was [the rapper] 50 Cent and Tim [VanNewhouse]," he said. "They wanted me to box for them full time. I couldn't believe it."
Assuming "Blue Chip" Martin improves to 5-0 following tonight's lightweight bout against Misael Chacon in Monroeville, Pa., the whole country could believe in him come July 2. That's when ESPN would televise a bout including Martin on its "Wednesday Night Fight" show.
The article notes:
Pro boxer Ryan Martin goes from the ring to the big screen in 50 Cent's newest music video. The song is conveniently named "Winners Circle" and it makes sense because since Martin turned pro he's spent a lot of time in the winners circle.
Martin signed with 50 Cent's boxing label SMS Promotions last year. The former West Side Boxer in Chattanooga is off to a 5-0 pro start with three knockouts.
The article notes:
From his residence in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, Ryan Martin said it was "awesome" that Central High School was in the state football playoffs and had a winning record this year.
The Purple Pounders' record is not nearly as impressive as the 21-year-old Central graduate's.
He's 8-0 as a professional lightweight boxer in less than 14 months of action. He tries this evening to go to 9-0 -- 7-0 in 2014. But Martin, a protege of rapper 50 Cent through SMS Promotions, is fighting his toughest opponent to date in his most prestigious setting.

There is always a large sea of prospects in boxing, but there are those that stand out and separate themselves from the pack. Lightweight Ryan Martin (10-0, 6Kos) has been doing just that. The Chattanooga, TN native has been making noise in his 16 months as a professional and has been looking very impressive. Martin is currently signed to rapper and businessman 50 Cent's SMS Promotions. Although 2014 saw many fighters sitting on the sidelines waiting for a fight date, Martin was in the ring 8 times in 12 months. He fought on ESPN and major network undercards, including HBO and Showtime. Keeping busy and continuing to learn is top priority for Martin.Like most can't miss prospects, Martin seems to have the full package so far as a young professional. He's very talented, athletic, has fast hands, a precession-like jab and puts his punches together well. Ryan also has a decorated amateur career, which includes over 200 amateur wins and numerous National Championships and international experience.
The article notes:
Ryan Martin may arguably be the promotion’s flagship talent at the moment, with a push for champ in the works. Ryan Martin signed with the promotion in late 2013 and most recently took down Justin Robbins at the Chatman – Brewer fight on March 28th with a stunning second round knockout, bringing his record to 4-0 with three knockouts. An impressive step in a promising career.

In this interview, lightweight Ryan Martin (5-0, 3 KOs) discusses sparring with Yuriorkis Gamboa, meeting Mike Tyson for the first time, and his plans for the future.
The article notes: Walking through New York City on Wednesday and just happened to meet up with Rosie Perez on 45th & 9th as she was waiting for a cab. Now I had never met Rosie, but I felt like I knew Rosie…at least well enough to say hi. Because we have a common friend in Ryan ‘Blue Chip‘ Martin. Rosie is a big boxing fan and she’s been at a couple of Ryan’s fights since he turned pro last year. Now for those of you who don’t know Ryan yet…he’s special. It’s always fun to draw comparisons to past greats, but perhaps in Ryan’s case it’s best to just let him ‘tell his own story’
