Ohara Davies has promised to send a warning to his new super-lightweight rivals by knocking out Andrea Scarpa within six rounds.

The unbeaten Hackney man recently stepped up a division and will battle Scarpa on a packed bill at Wembley Arena on November 26, live on Sky Sports.

Davies says he feels healthier at a higher weight and claimed a second-round stoppage win over Chaquib Fadli in Germany last month.

Scarpa halted John Wayne Hibbert on his first trip to Britain in June, but Davies has branded the Italian "one-dimensional" and expects to record his 14th consecutive win before the midway mark of their 12-rounder.

"We all know that he beat John Wayne Hibbert when they fought last time. I was actually at that fight," Davies told Sky Sports. "I've been watching a few of his fights online and for this camp I've been working harder than I've worked in any camp.

"I know he's going to bring his A-game, but I believe he won't go past six rounds, to be honest.

"I've got his number. I believe I can work him out quite easily. He's a one-dimensional fighter and he's not going to be a problem for me, especially with the new weight class and how good I feel."

At the top of the bill, Hibbert takes on Tommy Coyle in a battle of two domestic rivals for Davies, but 'Two Tanks' insists he will be looking beyond British level if he defeats Scarpa.

"After this fight, I believe I'm already past that," said Davies.

"I'm fighting for the WBC silver title and their fight is a non-title fight. After my fight, I think I'm already beyond that stage - and if anything, they will be the ones that are looking up to me, more than me looking up to anyone.

Davies discusses his tough start to life as a boxer and how it motivates him to reach the very top

"The only people I'll be looking up to are the people with the world championship belts. Anyone that has got the belts, I'm coming for them."

The charismatic 24-year-old has already earned a reputation for showmanship and has promised to impress his hometown fans. 

"The ring entrance will be great and the fight is going to be even better," he said. "Everyone should get there early, get their popcorn, and be ready for a great night of boxing."
