N OMAR Davis, the game has certainly gained a showman - a boxer whose entrances are pure performance.

Natural showman Omar is dressed to kill!

Those who have yet to witness the muscled super-middle-weight’s ring walk should purchase a ticket for his next slice of theatre. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like boxing - his small hall arrivals are enough.

‘The way Davis is going, pretty soon newspaper theatre critics will turn-up to review his bouts.

I missed Omar's Saturday night production at the Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport, but, to date, five people have rung me about it.

Never mind the fact the 29-year-old totally dominated tough Lithuanian Vaidas Balciauskas, rocking him to his boots in the third and bloodying his nose on the way to a 40-36 landslide. It was Davis’ latest fancy dress outfit they wanted to discuss.

For this one, he wore traditional Chinese martial arts attire, complete with straw hat, and gyrated to Carl Douglas classic Kung Fu Fighting.

For those old enough to remember, the get-up brought back memories of popular kids cartoon Hong Kong Phooey.
