Recipient of that early win was local favourite RP Davies (real name Ryan) who, with Mark Davies and Sean Thickett in his corner, wore down game Casey Blair, of Bangor, before condemning the Irishman to his sixth successive defeat.

The result produced two firsts, a first inside the distance win for Davies who, seemingly having put a setback at the hands of William Warburton last April behind him, has his eyes on a potential Central Area title later this year, and a first stoppage loss for Alan Wilton-trained Blair, who while bested, never stopped trying and pressed forward regularly.

The Verdict Davies continues to improve following his only career loss, and a shot at the Central Area title beckons.

The post Dominant Davies appeared first on Davies Boxing Gym.

Providing he comes through this weekend’s bout at the Village Urban Resort unscathed, Davies is in line for his first title fight.

The 28-year-old has been lined up to box Dave Fidler of Sheffield for the Central Area super-welterweight title at the Magna Centre in Rotherham on April 2.

Davies said: “I have had some great sparring rounds with Sam Matkin, Reece Cartwright, Jack Arnfield and Mark Jeffers.”

“The run-up to the fight this week has been all about refinement, speed work and sharpening.”

“I have to establish myself with a solid performance on Saturday, which should lead me on nicely to my next fight.”

“Obviously, what I do know is that this is a very big and important fight for me. The lad is coming over from Ireland looking to win. He has a bit of a different record compared to many of my previous opponents, with a similar number of fights to myself and a better win-to-loss ratio than others I have fought.”

“He will still have ambitions of winning things.”

Davies has won six of his seven fights, compared to Blair’s three out of eight.

The Blackpool boxer added: “I know this will be my toughest test to date and I feel ready.”

“I have known prior to the fight being confirmed, that providing I come through it unscathed I have a Central Area title Fight on April 2.”

“I have tried to keep this quite to an extent and focus on the immediate task in hand, taking things one fight at a time.”

“But as the British Boxing Board of Control confirmed and announced this title fight late last week, I have had to acknowledge that it is in the pipeline.”

The post Davies has Area title firmly in his sights appeared first on Davies Boxing Gym.

Davies Boxing Gym has opened on Clifton Trade Park, Brinwell Road, Blackpool and has been a lifelong ambition of the father and son team, who have ploughed a significant amount into the start up of this new venture.

As a former champion on the unlicensed boxing scene and currently in the infancy of his professional boxing career, Ryan Davies trains and works out of the facility, while his father Mark, a former professional footballer and amateur boxer, and now his boxing trainer, does the same. Davies Boxing Gym brings their extensive boxing, fitness and personal training experiences to their own private gym facility.

The gym provides boxing tuition, personal training, private group sessions and various open group classes and aims to provide a positive atmosphere and environment for people to train in, whether that be as an aspiring pugilist, to lose weight or generally keep fit.

The business opened with a soft launch in November, completely transforming the industrial site near the M55 in a matter of weeks and consists of a full size ring, various bags and balls and modern and traditional weights and functional training equipment. The walls are plastered with images of boxing legends past and present, like Evander Holyfield, Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr, with motivational and inspirational quotes from leading athletes littered amongst them.

Ryan Davies said, “Opening my own boxing gym has been a dream of mine and when this opportunity presented itself it was simply too good to ignore. I am proud of what we have created and the gym is exactly how I always imagined my own place to look. This venture is something that will benefit me in the short term, by providing me with a first class facility to train out of as I look to progress as a professional boxer, but also in the longer term, as this sport can be a very short career and this allows me to plan for life after boxing.“

Mark Davies added, “We wanted to create a first rate facility for those who wish to learn or develop boxing skills, or just generally train or keep fit, utilising the same facility and techniques as that of a professional boxer in a warm and friendly environment.“

“The initial opening period has been absolutely fantastic, it was always a risk opening our own gym, but we feel we offer something different and the response and feedback we have had has been great! We harbour ambitious growth plans to develop the business further in 2016 and our full class timetable will be released in the coming months. Currently, we are just running a single ‘boxfit’ class from 6 till 7pm Monday to Thursday, where we welcome anyone to come down and try it for themselves!“

“I am now starting to really feel the benefits of moving up in weight and adjusting my diet and nutrition – I feel stronger, fitter and I am punching harder than ever.”

Outside the ring, things look like taking off for Davies as well.

He explained: “I have also purchased my own gym in Blackpool with my dad, which provides us with a great facility for my training and also for me to work out of.”

The 28-year-old welterweight, who boxes under the ring name of RP Davies, will be in action at the Village Urban Resort on September 11 – his first contest since a damaging defeat at the hands of William Warburton in Rotherham in April, when he was stopped in round two.

Davies, who had won his previous three pro fights, reflected: “It has been a long and difficult process since my last fight, but I feel that night was a blip and we have established that mistakes were made in my preparation, which we have now put right. As a result, I will now be fighting at a higher weight.”

“I have a week of warm weather training planned in Greece, then it’s straight back into a full camp with my dad and the team.”

“I have already done a bit of sparring at Matthew Hatton’s gym in Stcokport, I feel good – much stronger – and I am definitely punching harder.”

“I fully intend on bouncing back and believe this setback will only make me stronger and better. It has already proved to be a great learning curve.”

“I am looking forward to getting back in the ring in Blackpool again.”

“It is always great to box at home and obviously it will be great to have as much support as possible for the latest chapter in my career.”

No opponent has yet been announced for the September promotion.

The post Setback made me stronger – Davies appeared first on Davies Boxing Gym.

He lost to William Warburton, of Atherton, in his fourth bout at the Magna Centre in Rotherham, losing on a stoppage in the second round.

Davies reflected: “I am absolutely broken-hearted. I will have to look at the tape to see where I went wrong but there are no excuses. I had a fantastic camp and felt at my best.

“I will have a good think about what’s next, but I would just like to say sorry to all the fantastic people who cam to support me.”

The win takes Warburton’s record to 15 wins, 74 loses and two draws, though he is better than the data suggests, widely seen at Britain’s best journeyman, as Davies now knows to his cost.
