Agyarko Fights Through Eye Trouble to Edge Davis in Belfast
Caoimhin Agyarko defeated Ishmael Davis by split decision on September 13, 2025, at Windsor Park in Belfast. Their twelve-round super welterweight contest ended with two judges favoring Agyarko 114–113, while the third returned 115–112 for Davis.
How the story unfolded
Davis used his size and stance changes to apply pressure, landing sharp right hands early. Agyarko answered with movement, counters and combinations, producing a contest in which neither boxer could rely on a single uninterrupted stretch of control.
Swelling around Agyarko’s right eye added another problem as the fight continued. He kept responding despite the damage, while Davis’s forward work and physical presence made the later rounds demanding for the home fighter.
The result and its significance
A controversial knockdown call in the final round increased the tension. Agyarko went down during what appeared to be a loss of balance, but referee Michael Alexander issued a count. The scoring nevertheless left two judges narrowly in Agyarko’s favor at the end.
The win kept Agyarko unbeaten and supplied an important result on the card headed by Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan. For Davis, the narrow defeat followed a sustained effort that persuaded one judge by a wider margin. The split verdict reflected an absorbing competitive battle, with Agyarko’s movement and resilience carrying him through eye damage and a difficult final-round scoring complication.
