Ohara Davies gets the contract.

The Londoner defeated Irishman Tyrone McKenna by a majority decision in the 10-round 140-pound final of The Golden Contract tournament on Wednesday night at the Sky Sports Studios in London.

As a result, he wins a contract with MTK Global, a combat sports managerial and promotional firm.

Davies (22-2, 16 KOs) outworked the southpaw McKenna (21-2-1, 6 KOs) and landed the harder punches, although neither fighter was particularly active. One judge had it even. The other two scored it 96-94 for Davies.

Davies has had trouble with left-handers in the past, losing decisions to Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall, but got over the hump with McKenna.

Catterall had won five consecutive fights since losing a close decision to Catterall in 2018.

Also on the card, Serge Michel (11-1, 8 KOs) put Liam Conroy (18-6-1, 9 KOs) down three times and stopped him in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight semifinal in the tournament.
