This is his last fight

Ohara Davies is contemplating hanging up his gloves after his fight with rising star Adam Azim this Saturday at the Copper Box Arena in London. After more than a decade in the ring, the 32-year-old has faced some of the toughest 140-pounders in the world, including Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall, both of whom handed him defeats.

Despite big wins over the likes of Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Ritson, Davies' career took a major hit earlier this year when he suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Ismael Barroso. Reflecting on that moment, Davies remains unfazed, chalking it up to a simple mistake. “I just threw the wrong shot. I was tired, didn’t sleep well, and got hit with a good punch," he explained. “It’s not like I got out-skilled.”

Now, Davies is set to face 22-year-old Adam Azim, a fast-rising junior welterweight talent. Having known Azim since his amateur days, Davies is impressed by his younger opponent's speed and skill. "He’s good, sharp, and fast. He’s got youth on his side," Davies admitted. The one advantage Davies believes he holds is his experience, which he plans to use against the young prospect.

Despite the high stakes, the two fighters have maintained a mutual respect leading up to the bout, with no signs of animosity. For Davies, this fight feels more like a sparring session, as he prepares to face someone he’s been on good terms with for years. However, the outcome of the fight could significantly impact Davies' future, as he's questioning his love for the sport.

"I don’t know if I’ll box again after this fight," Davies said. After his knockout defeat to Barroso, the experience has left him disillusioned, and this fight with Azim might be his final appearance in the ring.
