GEORGE DAVEY believes that another fight before the end of the year is “very possible” after taking his unbeaten record to five professional contest at the weekend.

Davey won all six rounds in his clash with Dario Borosa to win a 60-54 decision at the Birmingham Arena.

The bout was Davey’s second of the year, with his activity disrupted by the effect of coronavirus on boxing.

The York fighter is now hoping to make up for lost time with another ring showing before 2022.

“That looks very possible,” said Davey, when asked about the likelihood of another fight this year. “Hopefully we will hear some news soon.

“I’m back in the gym and I’ve been training every day since Monday, doing strength and running work.

“I’m fit and raring to go, so as soon as I get another date, I’ll be ready.”

Reflecting on his convincing win over Borosa, Davey revealed that he was close to stopping the Croatian, who has previously boxed two weight classes higher than 154lb fighter Davey, at super-middleweight (168lbs).

“First of all, he was a very durable lad,” said Davey. “I threw a lot of punches at him and he absorbed lots of them.

“He boxed a super-middleweight a few weeks before my fight and the super-middleweight couldn’t put him down.

“I went in there thinking, ‘I’d love to stop him, but he’s very, very durable.’

“I threw a lot of leather at him and the referee told me after the fight that he was going to stop the fight in the third round, which I had no idea about.

“I would have looked to up my levels but instead I dropped them because I thought, ‘I’m going to gas myself out if I continue going at this pace’.”

As a seasoned amateur with international titles to his name in the unpaid ranks, Davey is known for his slick boxing skills off his back foot.

However against the retreating Borosa, he employed different tactics by walking his opponent down.

“All in all, it’s good to get six rounds in and I boxed well,” said the 23-year-old.

“I’m more of a counter-punching boxer but it was good to work on my game coming forward and pinning him down.

“It was good to have six full rounds to work on different things.

“I’m adding more parts to my arsenal. It would have been nice to get the stoppage, but those six rounds are very valuable.”

Those sentiments were echoed by Davey’s trainer Henry Wharton, the York boxing legend who fought for world titles three times during the 1990s.

“Henry was really happy and complimentary,” reported Davey. “A lot of the things that we’ve been working on came off.

“It’s another step in the right direction. He was happy that I could practise another part of my boxing - walking forward and opening people up - which isn’t usually my style, but it came together really nicely.

“He was very happy with the performance.”

The fight also marked just under two years since Davey last boxed in front of a crowd.

“It was fantastic,” he said. “I massively appreciate everyone that came because they made some great noise.

“To have the fans back was really exciting.”
