I’ll call him out if I want on camera, I don’t care.

“He’s been running his mouth on social media. I’m not about that. If he wants it next, he can get it. It’s a 50-50 fight, but I’ll smash him.”

“He walked past us and obviously I’d just been listening in the back, what he’d said,” Davies Jr told Sky Sports after his win. “I obviously had my own fight to think of, so I just stared at him. He was mumbling something.

“But we’ve been staying in the same hotel, and the god’s honest truth, my hand on my heart, every time I’ve looked at him, he’s looked away.”He will build the hype for the TV, but when it was just me and him, it was me who had front and not him.”If the offer is good enough and it makes sense to me and my team, I’ll stop him.” 10 x 3 mins vacant WBO Inter-Continental Middleweight Championship

“Hopefully Scott beats Cheeseman, because I believe Scott is a better fighter and then it would be a dream come true to box Scott at the end of the year. I don’t care where it is.”
