It’s an all-British welterweight showdown this Saturday night at Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, where undefeated Pat McCormack will put hius skills to the test against former European and British champion Robbie Davies Jr. At 29 years old, McCormack has logged just thirty professional rounds, only a fraction of the experience Davies Jr. brings to the ring. But McCormack, a Sunderland native who won a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, has made a seamless transition to the pro ranks since debuting in 2022. McCormack is coming off a decision win over Argentina’s Williams Herrera in this very arena.

In the opposite corner, Davies Jr. a battle-tested veteran with a deep résumé. The Liverpool native is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Javier Fortuna on November 1, 2024, bouncing back from a decision loss to ex-IBF champ Sergey Lipinets. With a career full of high-level opposition, Davies poses the toughest test yet for the rising Olympian.

McCormack enters the ring with an unblemished 6-0 record, four of those wins coming by knockout. Davies brings a 24-5 record with 15 knockouts to his name.
