He added the vacant WBC International super-bantamweight title to his collection on 22 October 2016, thanks to a unanimous decision victory over Paul Economides at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.^[5][6]

Having vacated his English title,^[7] Davis returned to the Utilita Arena to make the first defense of his WBC International crown against Gamal Yafai on 13 May 2017.

Despite this setback, he was given the chance to challenge British super-bantamweight champion Thomas Patrick Ward at Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 11 November 2017. He lost via unanimous decision.^[9]
