The contest took place in Washington, DC at the DC Armory as a co-feature with Lamont Peterson vs. Kendall Holt, an IBF junior welterweight bout. Davis was knocked out in the first round of the fight.

Meraz was knocked out in the third and fifth rounds by Davis, who went on to win the fight by unanimous decision (UD) with a score of 60-52 from all three judges.

In a devastating first round knockout victory on February 20, 2015 at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Davis was the first to stop Israel Suarez (4-4-2, 1 KO).

On May 7, 2017, it was announced that Davis would make his first championship defense in London, England. The information was provided by Frank Warren, the promoter of challenger Liam Walsh (21-0, 14 KOs), who was also the highest ranked fighter in the IBF.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe stated on November 15, 2017 that Davis would fight again with teammate Badou Jack in the first three months of 2018. He also revealed that Davis would face a top rival.

In November 2018, Davis said he would fight former three-weight world champion Abner Mares (31-3-1, 15 KOs) in Southern California to defend his WBA championship in February 2019.

On July 27, 2019, in front of 12,000 spectators in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, Davis defeated Ricardo Nez by second-round technical knockout and successfully defended his WBA (Super) super featherweight title.

On December 28, 2019, Davis made his first move into the lightweight division, winning the vacant WBA lightweight (regular) championship by defeating former unified featherweight world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa via 12th round technical knockout.
