Liam Davies (born 31 March 1996) is a British professional boxer. He held the IBO super-bantamweight title in 2024. Davies is a former British and European super-bantamweight champion and has held the IBF Inter-Continental featherweight title since May 2025.

Career

After an amateur career that included winning silver medals at the 2016 and 2018 England Boxing National Amateur Championships,[1] Davies made his professional debut on 9 December 2018, defeating Khvicha Gigolashvili on points over four rounds at the Holiday Inn in Birmingham.[2]

In his eighth pro-fight he won his first title by beating Sean Cairns via corner retirement for the vacant English bantamweight championship at Wembley Arena in London on 21 November 2020.[3][4]

Davies signed with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions in June 2021.[5]

Moving up in weight divisions, he claimed the vacant WBC International Silver super-bantamweight title by securing a unanimous decision win against Dixon Flores at Arena Birmingham on 9 October 2021.[6]

On 11 June 2022 at the International Centre in Telford, Davies defeated defending champion Marc Leach for the British super-bantamweight title via unanimous decision.[7][8]

At the same venue on 19 November 2022, he challenged WBC International champion, Ionut Baluta, with the vacant European super-bantamweight title also on the line. Davies won by unanimous decision.[9][10][11]

Again at the International Centre, he defended his titles with a first round stoppage of Jason Cunningham on 29 July 2023, picking up his opponent's WBO International championship in the process.[12][13]

Davies defended his European championship against Vincenzo La Femina at Manchester Arena on 18 November 2023.[14] Both boxers were floored in the third round, but Davies recovered the better to secure the victory via stoppage in the fifth round.[15][16]

He faced Erik Robles Ayala for the vacant IBO super-bantamweight title at Resorts World Birmingham in Birmingham on 16 March 2024, winning by technical knockout in the second round.[17][18]

At the same venue on 2 November 2024, Davies lost his title and unbeaten record to Shabaz Masoud via split decision with one judge favouring him 115-113 and the other two scoring the fight 115-113 and 116-112 respectively for his opponent.[19][20][21][22]

Once more moving up in weight categories, Davies faced undefeated Kurt Walker for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental featherweight title at Nottingham Arena on 10 May 2025, winning by unanimous decision.[23][24]
