Davies is still determined to put on a show

The pride of Telford was all set to light up the town with its first professional bout for 13 years on April 4, but the health pandemic meant the BCB Promotions event was sidelined.

After keeping fit and sharp throughout the months of lockdown, Donnington’s Davies, 24, is hopeful that the show will go ahead before the end of the year as the sport continues to recover from its shutdown.

He told British Boxing Television: “I was gutted, a bit p****d off to be honest, but everything happens for a reason, I’m a big believer in that.

“That is the mindset I went with. I’m now looking to when we can get the show back on because I sold so many tickets and everyone was buzzing for it.
