Gents, we've already been through the final instructions in the dressing room and you know what I expect, a clean fight.
Remember to obey my commands at all times. Above all, protect yourself at all times.
Turn around to touch gloves.
Waz, as Josh was saying earlier, a very, very good amateur.
And he's super confident here, Barry. He really is for Waz.
Well, why wouldn't he be? He's just coming off his best win where he boxed tremendously well.
But he's up against a different proposition here.
A guy who's had a lot of fights, who's already very seasoned in Ishmael Davis.
Who knows how to take his time, be patient, but also knows when to pull that trigger.
And from Davis, who has six knockouts on the slate for Waz.
Just the three. It's his 13th outing for the very good amateur.
Beautiful left hand from the southpaw stance.
He goes back to his orthodox jab. He's just got a little bit too much at the moment for Waz.
The quality, the tactics, the feet. He's boxing well here, Josh, isn't he?
Yeah, we just see a moment ago, he let four shots go.
But he didn't load up with the shots and he had a bit more success.
And that is what makes him unorthodox.
Yeah, this is good. Back to the ropes from Waz.
But nice shot from Ishmael Davis.
This is good from Davis, this is because he's leaning on Fawaz trying to tire him out.
To stop the headshot, but one of the body ones might have squeezed through from Ishmael Davis.
Still hasn't put that dent in Davis.
But it's better for Waz.
Josh is right and he's talking to him in there.
And it might get interesting now.
Do you know what? He's missed a trick there.
He's landed a couple of good shots.
Through four, landed a couple.
He should have gone again instead of messing around.
Nice work from Fawaz.
Just in front of us.
Especially to the body.
Hammering away.
This is the best part of the fight here.
From the Londoner.
Ishmael Davis is suddenly just under a bit of pressure here, Barry.
Davis is letting the momentum swing.
And that's what I said about what can happen in a fight.
The guy, it's a tear lock.
And it's hard to get your stance back on the fight and your foot back in.
So he needs to go back to his boxing.
Use that jab.
He was asking for Waz to change the gears.
Change the tempo.
Change something.
He's down to Davis now.
Puts up a couple of shots and does look tired.
He looks hurt a little bit.
I'm not sure if it's tiredness or hurt.
I think rally Ishmael Davis a bit here.
In the 10th round.
That's a nice left hand.
He needs something here to stop the rot.
Because Fawaz is boxing really well now.
Big, deep breath as well after he let that shot go from Davis.
Committing to every attack now.
I think the last 10-15 minutes or so of boxing for Fawaz has been fantastic.
And he's just caught.
Ishmael Davis is looking unsteady and he's bundled over.
I think he's really tired now.
The British and Commonwealth champion.
He struggles to his feet.
A minute 13 left in the 11th.
And he looks at his corner.
And are the legs good or not?
I think this is what...
If he does win this fight for Fawaz, he's a massive underdog.
Let's not forget that.
This is an unbelievable win.
Hardly anybody gave him a chance against Davis who was really on form.
And he's boxing at a much higher level, let's be honest.
Has woken up.
Shaken up.
Ishmael Davis.
And dominated the second half of this fight.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds here in Nottingham,
we go to the judges' scorecards.
Kieran McCann.
114-114 even.
A draw on one.
Mark Bates.
115-113.
Victor Laughlin.
115-114.
So close.
The winner by majority decision.
And the move!
