Ohara Davies signs up to dating app Badoo after being catfished

Single British boxer laughed off the fraud of user 'Jermaine' and instead created his own account

OHARA DAVIES has signed up to an online dating account after being catfished.

The British boxer revealed a mystery person looking for love named "Jermaine" was using his picture on the app Badoo.

Davies, 25, said at the time: ";Thinking of actually making one now actually."

And he has done exactly that.

Confirming he is officially on the market, he posted a picture of his account with the caption: "Did it. Hit me up," alongside three crying-with-laughter emojis.

The account bio reads: "Finally joined Badoo - just checking it out!"

The former English super lightweight champ's pun is sure to attract the attention of single ladies.

It continues: "I'm single, straight, black hair and black eyes."

The catfish who inspired Davies to sign up wrote on his bio: "Anyone genuine on here ??

"I'm humble and easy going just looking to chat to people and see how our conversation flows I'm a boxer so I'm really focused on that as it's a big passion I've got.

"Get messaging girls and tell me a bit about yourself.

"I'm single, straight, muscular body, living by myself, open to having children someday, I don't like smoking, I drink socially. I speak English."

Earlier this month, Davies partied with Love Island winner Amber Davies, former Towie and Ex On The Beach star Nicole Bass and footballer Jamie O'Hara in Essex nightclub Sugar Hut.

He was also tagged in a picture with two more reality TV stars - Joshua Ritchie and Jack Fraser.

Davies recently banished memories of his first ever defeat with a scintillating stoppage of Tom Farrell in Liverpool.

He knocked down Farrell five times in a hugely one-sided affair, before the referee put the home fighter out of his misery.

A Badoo spokesperson said: "We take security very seriously here at Badoo, with our seven verification processes put in place to protect our 370 million users, including phone number, Facebook and a1-minute photo verification, where users are required to take a selfie copying one of the 100 suggested gestures.

"This is then compared to the user’s profile pictures and approved by one of the Badoo's 5,000 moderators.

"Our moderators are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week to remove any 'catfish' profiles on the rare occasion that they may appear.

"Users are encouraged to look out for the ‘blue tick’ on Badoo profiles and to report anything suspicious."
