Main Event Preview
Ohara “Two Tanks” Davies (24-2-0, 17 KO) has just two losses in his career. One was a seventh-round TKO at the hands of WBO champion Josh Taylor, and the other was to former super lightweight title challenger Jack Catterall by 12-round unanimous decision. It has been over four years since he last tasted defeat and now, at 31 years old, he’s prepared to get another crack at a championship. The only person standing in his way is his countryman Lewis Ritson.
Like Davies, Ritson (23-2-0, 13 KO), has won much more than he’s lost. Another similarity is that the last person he lost to, Ponce in 2021, also just lost in a title fight like Catterall did. Since then, he’s won a pair of 10-round bouts convincingly, once by early stoppage. Now, with momentum and a three-inch height advantage, Ritson is chasing a world title opportunity of his own, and he’ll likely have the crowd with him as well in his birthplace of Newcastle.
