He is the owner of the international challenge title after an eight round points win over Arvydas Trizno at the Urban Village Resort in his home town.

And Davies is vowing to make it the first of many such straps after this conclusive success.

Davies said: “It is my first title as a pro and I hope it will lead to better things like the Central Area and English titles.”

“He was a very tough opponent, ranked number two in Lithuania, and he had gone the distance in his career with Junior Witter.”

The Lithuanian was the second substitute opponent after Dave Fidler and William Warburton had pulled out for various reasons.

But super-welterweight Davies made light of that.

“These things happen in boxing. You just have to accept it and make the best of it. It is all part of the experience. It is never easy in boxing.”

“He was probably the hardest of the three I had been down to fight.”

“Trizno had very a dangerous right hand and he kept trying to load up with it, but I managed to counter it.”

“I am in boxing to win titles against even better men.”

On the same promotion, Blackpool’s Alex McCloy made it six wins out of six with a handy points win over inexperienced Darryl Sharp, of Manchester.

McCloy’s trainer Jeff Thomas was pleased with the super-welterweight’s performance in the six-rounder.

Thomas said: “This was the third southpaw that Alex has faced and he is coming along nicely.”

“He started well and Sharp began to come into it more in the middle rounds, but Alex finished the stronger.”

“Sharp had a point deducted at one stage for hitting Alex on the back of the head.”

“The plan is for Alex to have a bit of a break now and maybe box again in August or September.”

Friday night’s bout at the Urban Village Resort in Blackpool is against Lithuanian Arvydas Trizno for an International Title, rather than the original substitute William Warburton.

Davies said: “This has hardly been ideal preparation, what with the number of opponents and the re-scheduling of the date, but it is a vital experience, as these things happen in boxing.”

“Not being sure of my opponent the week before my fight is not great, but it is just one of those things and I will have to get on with it.”

“As disappointing as this is, unfortunately this is boxing, and these things can happen.”

“I just have to ensure that I am mentally prepared for Friday night.”

“I am willing to fight anyone and I am confident of whomever I face, so in all honesty the opponent does not really matter to me.”

“What is important is I get in the ring on Friday, but on a good show, with a solid performance and get the right result to kick on.”

Davies continued: “One thing I do know is that the opponent will now likely be a tougher task than any of the other previous ones, but this should suit me well.”

“Aside from these issues, my camp has gone well and I feel fit and ready to go.”

“The two- week delay has just given me a little extra time to prepare and apply some extra finishing touches to the camp.”

Limited tickets are still available, with VIP ringside seats (including meal) are £70 and there are also standard seated tickets priced at £30. Tickets can be purchased by calling 07780962863, emailing info@rpdboxing.com or directly from Davies Boxing Gym, Brinwell Road, Blackpool.
