Former boxer enjoying new role in the ring... as a professional wrestler

Davies, who regularly commutes to the town from his beloved Blackpool, changed sports last May at Wigan’s major domestic promotion.

The 32-year-old has adapted to his new career like a duck to water, becoming one of the fan favourites at the regular Hindley Rose Club shows.

He’s come on leaps and bounds since his debut defeat against Micky Barnes, improving in every match across various shows – and Davies is already looking to cement his legacy in 2020 by setting his sights on championship gold.

“I’ve never done anything in my life where the aim is not be the best there is at it, and this is no different,” the Grand-Pro Wrestling star revealed.

“I have had a very varied career at boxing and won titles at every level that I have ever boxed at– so I would absolutely love to add a pro-wrestling title to the mix.

“I feel like it would be a dream come true. I believe destiny has brought me down the wrestling path, I have genuinely loved every second of it, and the support has been nothing short of phenomenal.

“That being said, to win a title would be a real achievement that I would be so very proud to do.

“It should show I have progressed to a level that the company believe they can trust me to represent their brand.

“For me though, it would mean I have bounced back and achieved something again.”

Before Davies’ switched sports, he was a promising professional boxer before he was forced to retire on medical grounds at the age of 30.

The Blackpool-ace wanted to remain in sport in some capacity, and quickly discovered his passion for professional wrestling after he was offered a trial by Grand-Pro Wrestling’s Johnnie Brannigan.

Having originally pushed-back the offer, he changed his mind after realising a move to wrestling could be his destiny calling.

“I feel like my first year has gone really well. Don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been easy, and I’ve made many mistakes and continue to do as this is such a complex business but the fans have took to me,” he said. “I have delivered some good matches that have entertained them.

“Most importantly, I love it and I just want to continue to improve to win over my peers and blaze my own trail.

“Wrestling found me when I was a little lost and now, I see everything that I have done before this, it’s lead me directly to another passion.

“That is destiny. Now I’ve just to see where the journey takes me, but it is certainly one of the best decisions of my life to jump into this world.”

The Seasider will next be in action at Hindley’s Rose Club on Friday March 6 against Luke ‘The Standout’ Steele in a special ‘Last Man Standing’ match.
