Ohara Davies vs. Christopher Sebire - 19 May 2018 (Selby vs. Warrington card)

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ohara Davies makes his long-awaited return to the ring when he takes on Frenchman Christopher Sebire over ten rounds at Elland Road on May 19th.

Davies, 25, has won 16 of his 17 professional contest and will be aiming to fight his way into World Title contention after a frustrating few months. The talented Londoner has been out of the ring since his explosive sixth-round stoppage victory over Tom Farell in September.

A former English Lightweight Champion, Davies has also claimed WBC Silver and WBA International Super-Lightweight titles, and is determined to get his promising career back on track with a solid performance on the undercard of the blockbuster IBF Featherweight World Title showdown between Lee Selby and Leeds hero Josh Warrington.

"I'm itching to get back in the ring and do what I do best," said Davies. "My last fight seems a long time ago and I'm excited to start entertaining the fans again. Selby v Warrington is a huge event and I'm grateful to my team for getting me on there.

"There's some massive fights out there for me in the Super-Lightweight division. I'm fully focused on becoming a World Champion and that opportunity could come sooner than expected if Terry Flanagan beats Maurice Hooker for the WBO belt in Manchester on June 9th."

I have no idea why Camp Eddie ever took the Josh Taylor fight.

Davies certainly wasn't an underdog in that fight. On paper he had the edge in Am experience and more pro fights.

Taylor had far more amateur experience having fought in the Olympics and several other big tournaments.

Both Eddie and Davies were confident in it and he was very well paid. All promotors make mistakes and occasionally over-rate their fighters. W@rren with Cleverly vs Kovalev, Mitchell vs Katsidis and recently with Jamie Conlan. Eddie with Brook v Golovkin, Charlie Edwards world title fight and many more.

Sorry but Taylor's amateur record was far superior and he was also the favourite for this fight.

[jamamb]

davies had around 15 amateur fights. hes basically a guy whose a naturally good fighter but not very well schooled and is rough around the edges in many ways. even just taylors pivots had him flummoxed, he seemed shocked that a guy could hit him up close yet not be an easy target like the lower level guys were

had never heard of the opponent

They seriously underestimated Taylor, I think he could be a multi weight World Champ.
