Long-time super lightweight contender Ohara Davies (18-2, 14 KOs), last seen in October suffering a points defeat to WBO No. 1 contender Jack Catterall, returns to action June 28 against former long-reigning lightweight world champion Miguel Vazquez at the historic York Hall in London.
Tyrone McKenna will fight in front of his home fans in Belfast at Ulster Hall on March 29 – live on iFL TV. ‘The Mighty Celt’ (17-1-1-KO6) was last seen narrowly outpointing Lewis Benson in Glasgow and kicks off 2019 on the undercard of the highly-anticipated WBO European title rematch between Conrad Cummings and Luke Keeler.
Sam Maxwell will be back in action next month. The 30-year-old is hoping this year brings title shots.

Ohara Davies aims to begin a knockout streak in 2019 and leave nothing to the judges for the rest of his career. ‘Two Tanks’ (18-2-KO14) was outpointed by world-ranked Jack Catterall in a surprisingly tactical affair back in October and with the super-lightweight division buzzing, Davies is preparing for a statement of resurgence.
WE CERTAINLY GOT the rounds in up in Leicester on Saturday and, as is often the case, it really was no bad thing. Properly matched fights tend to go long and that is how it played out at the excellent Morningside Arena, where the fans stuck with the action until well after midnight. I was, however, a bit disappointed that the much anticipated match-up between Jack Catterall and Ohara Davies didn’t live up to its explosive billing, but all we can do is make the fights that people look forward to seeing between fighters at the top of their game.
