Ohara Davies’ US debut ended in heartbreak - and a round - as he was dropped and stopped by Ismael Barroso, delivering the veteran his second crack at the 140lb WBA jewel. 

This year will mark 10 years as a professional for Ohara Davies. It has been a tough tuition both inside and outside of the ring, but finally, this weekend, he could well reap the rewards of a decade’s labour. 

The 147lb division’s successors take centre stage this weekend as they vie for significance heading into the year’s crown jewel - Errol Spence vs Terence Crawford.
