Davies lost for the first time in his professional career against Josh Taylor on July 8

Davies, 25, had won 15 straight professional fights until his defeat to Taylor and has vowed to take Farrell's belt from him.

"These things happen, you win some and you lose some. I'm back in the gym already and I'm working hard," Ohara said.

"I'm used to getting stick wherever I go, I'm going to go in there and take his belt and that's it.
"I did a lot of things wrong in the Taylor fight but I'm going to put that right. This is a must-win fight and I will win, I need to get back to what I used to do, my mind wasn't in the right place last time out but I've learnt from that."

Farrell had other notions at the Matchroom press conference, adding: "When you first start boxing these are the nights that you want to be in. He's got to where he has by opening his mouth.

"This is a real 50-50 fight and he rubs people up the wrong way but he needs to know his place: I'm the champ, he's the challenger and I'm at home.

"It's going to be hostile in there and it will remind him of a few weeks ago in Glasgow."

"It's brilliant to be out in Liverpool and I can't wait for all the fans to come out," Jonas said.

"They all supported me as an amateur and I am sure they will as a pro. It's always nice to box at home, there's added pressure but I love performing in Liverpool."
