Not even a change of opponent will stop Rhys Davies in his blood-thirsty quest for brutal knockouts.
The self-styled 'Chocolate Warrior' from Coventry (pictured on the left) has racked up an impressive pro record of four wins in five (one draw) but now has only one thing on his mind: to knock a man cold.
He was penciled in to fight durable Bulgarian cruiserweight champion Yavor Marinchev over four rounds at Bedworth Civic Hall on April 11, on a Les Allen-promoted show that see's another Coventry fighter, unbeaten James Flinn, challenging Ben Lawler for the British Masters welterweight title.
But Marinchev has pulled out with injury and now Davies, whose twin - fleet-footed, fast-fisted super-middleweight Llewy - boxed in the last Prizefighter, meets an iron-jawed 29-year-old, Verban Borisov, who gave touted Geordie Kash Hussain a decent argument in Birmingham in January.
Davies, 27, boxed on that card - shutting out Tayar Mehmed over a routine four- and now wants to send his Eastern European opponent back on the long journey home with a headache and the memory of the 6'1 personal trainer looming over him.
"My opponent may have changed but that really doesn't matter," boasted the Oliver Harrison-trained West Midlander. "He might be known as 'Tank' and have a solid left hook but lets see how long he lasts against me, shall we?
"I give him a minute before he's hugging the ropes for comfort."
