On September 13, the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park in Belfast will host a pivotal showdown on the European circuit, as undefeated Irishman Caoimhin “Black Thunder” Agyarko (17-0, 7 KOs) takes on Britain’s Ishmael “The Black Panther” Davis (13-2, 6 KOs) for the WBA Continental super welterweight crown.

For Agyarko, 28, this is a career-defining moment on home soil. Known for his explosive style and sharp movement, he’s already turned back the likes of Troy Williamson and Grant Dennis. Now, with his first WBA regional title on the line, he’s eager to cement himself as a legitimate world contender. “Fighting for a belt in Belfast is a dream come true,” Agyarko said in the build-up. “I’m ready to show I belong at the top level.”

Davis, 30, from Leeds, comes in with redemption on his mind after back-to-back defeats, the most recent a stoppage loss to Serhii Bohachuk last December. A pressure fighter who thrives on breaking opponents down, Davis believes he can flip the script as the underdog. “I didn’t come here just to make up the numbers—I came here to win. Agyarko’s never been in with someone like me,” he declared.

Both men weighed in around 153.5 pounds in their most recent outings and share a similar stance, though their approaches differ. Agyarko prefers controlling range and counterpunching, while Davis thrives in the trenches, pushing a high pace and exchanging on the inside.

With local pride on the line and a WBA belt at stake, Belfast is set for a fiery battle between two fighters with everything to prove.
