Good fight though if it happens.

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.
