Ohara Davies opted not to pick rival Tyrone McKenna for Friday’s The Golden Contract semi-finals but hopes to finally face him in the final.

Live Boxing: Golden Contract

Super-lightweight semi-finals
Ohara Davies vs Jeff Ofori
Tyrone McKenna vs Mohamed Mimoue

Featherweight semi-finals
Ryan Walsh vs Tyrone McCullagh
Leigh Wood vs Jazza Dickens

Davies picked the 'Golden Ball' - giving him the right to pick any of the three other super-lightweight fighters to meet next - but surprisingly went with Jeff Ofori.

That means McKenna, who Davies has shared plenty of pre-fight arguing with, will fight Mohamed Mimoue.

Davies explained: "Me and Tyrone? Everyone is trying to make beef. There ain't no beef. It's fun and games. Hopefully McKenna gets through his fight to make an amazing final.

"I would like to meet McKenna in the final."
