Lewis Ritson vs. Ohara Davies | FITE tv - 4 March 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

It’s being explored. Would take place on December 16 in Newcastle..

Lee McGregor would return on the card too.

I’d imagine they contractually have to get them out by the end of the year as otherwise it doesn’t make sense having 2 good fights at the Arena in Newcastle in the space of 3 weeks.

Good fight though if it happens.

This will outsell the other.

Yeah - I’m sure it will but it won’t help either show having them on in close proximity.

[jameswilson]

With Davies being not the natural 140er that he thinks he is could Ritson’s enormous power make a return here?

[black panther]

Good fight! Hope it gets made.

Boxers think they're funny..

The whole time negotiations where on going for Fury-Chisora 3, every Chisora interview he did, he said he had no clue as to what was going on.

[keithmoonhangover]

Davies walks straight through him IMO.

[margaret thatcher]

it will be a close decision either way, davies never walks through anyone half decent and ritty's power aint there at 140 though he can box when he sticks to the jab

I'll bet you a pound it doesn't go the distance, I could be biased against Ritson because he's a barcode.

[margaret thatcher]

who is the best fighter davies has blasted out....just dont see it

I hear you brother, but Ritson is easy to hit and has miles on the clock. If he wasn't a ticket seller, he'd be an oppoment.

Ohara Davies pokes Tony Bellew over Hillsborough five years later

Ohara Davies’ statement on Hillsborough

In 2017, Davies released a statement after urging his followers to purchase the UK tabloid.

“Here is the last I will speak on the subject to which I sincerely apologize again to those I offended in my ignorance,” said Davies.

Some of the content read: “I was totally ignorant. Now I am still partly ignorant as I’ve read up what happened but am not yet totally sure what part the newspaper had to do with the 96 deaths [now 97].”

Promoter Eddie Hearn dropped him from a scheduled appearance and subsequently for the long term over the matter.

Bellew responded to Davies and his apology in separate tweets.

“So Ohara had no idea why Tommy Coyle doesn’t like the rag! I’ll be honest; I’d usually say “bol*****,” but seeing this much, I can believe this.

“Only thing I’ve got left to say is, “think before you type in the future.”

Tony Bellew blast

Bellew added: “Edward [Hearn] didn’t ask me to do a thing! He’s a little gobs**** who has zero brains!

“He’s an uneducated t**, and that’s why he doesn’t know about the 96! Now get back to your computer desk, you little helmet!”

Half a decade later, Davies decided to fire back at Bellew and dredged up the matter again.

“Or maybe I didn’t know about the 96 because I don’t follow football,” said Davies. “Also, because it happened before I was born.”

Tony Bellew Everton jibe

Davies poked the bear by aiming a shot at Tony Bellew’s beloved Everton Football Club.

“But what I know about football is that Everton is a crappy team. When was the last time they won the league?”

The renewal of the back and forth comes as Davies attempts to find a new promoter following the stalling of his career.

“As fighters, we have one career. Our managers and promotors will have many fighters, but we retire in our mid-30s.

“They keep managing and promoting until they drop dead. Put yourselves first and do whatever is right for you without waiting,” stated the Londoner before adding his hopes for new representation.

Ohara’s not making himself an attractive proposition for a promoter. The Hillsborough/Sun stuff was the final straw for Matchroom I think. If he did the things now he was doing then, as the world is more PC than ever, then he wouldn’t have even got so far as The Sun jibe before being suspended.

I can’t see any of the main promoters wanting him at the moment.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Apparently, it's all signed and agreed.

Will be early 2023 though.

[Spud]

Great fight.

Ritson was good at lightweight but I'm not sure if it was because he was huge at the weight?

Most likely.

He dominated British level.

But when he stepped up to Euro level, he went up to 140.

Probably couldn’t make 135 anymore. Maybe he should have had a domestic level fight at 140 before challenging for the EBU.

[wrighty]

I don't see anything wrong with him going back to that level but boxers dont seem to like doing that nowadays

[KiwiRider]

Great fight.

Love it.
All action, no frills
