Davies, a former British, European, and IBO super bantamweight champion, is making his featherweight debut after suffering a split-decision loss to Shabaz Masoud in his last outing. Despite the setback, Davies remains a dangerous puncher, with three consecutive knockouts at 122 lbs before moving up in weight.
Walker, an Olympic standout from Tokyo 2020, has transitioned smoothly into the professional ranks, securing back-to-back career-best wins against James Beech Jr. and Leon Woodstock. His technical skill and amateur pedigree make him a formidable opponent, though his low knockout ratio raises questions about his ability to deter Davies’ aggressive style.
