Davis (12-0, 8 KOs), the 2020 Olympic silver medallist has enjoyed an impressive start to his professional career, and this saw the Norfolk native destroy Gustavo Lemos in his last fight, blowing the Argentine away in two rounds.

Following a recent training session in Las Vegas, Davis expressed his excitement about his upcoming fight: “I’m very excited. Madison Square Garden. New York City, that’s my second home. I have family out there, so I’m ready to turn up for them. Madison Square Garden is legendary. And now that I’m fighting for my first world title there, it means even more.”

“He’s undefeated, and nobody wants to lose their unbeaten record. He’s coming off his biggest win, which was against Emanuel Navarrete. He also has a lot more experience than I do. And this isn’t for a vacant title. I have to take it from him,” said the Norfolk fighter about his opponent.
