Career
Early professional career
Daws made his professional debut on 16 April 2003, defeating Danny Gwilym at the Ice Arena in Nottingham. Over next few years he compiled a record of twelve consecutive victories with wins over the likes of Ernie Smith, Karl Taylor and Oscar Hall. The fight also served as an eliminator for the full British title.
Daws fought for the British belt on 12 May 2006, in his very next fight.
The contest, once again held at the York Hall, saw Daws defeat Northumbrian boxer Nigel Wright via a 12 round points decision. The new champions reign was however to be short lived with the first defence of the title also resulting in a first defeat.
Daws lost the belt to Scotsman, Barry Morrison at the Alexandra Palace in Wood Green, this time by split decision with one judge scoring widely in Daws favour with the other two scoring narrowly to Morrison. Road back to contention
The contest with Wright again took place at the York Hall and resulted in a draw meaning that Wright retained the belt.
The fight itself, at the York Hall once more, saw Daws regain the belt he lost to Morrison and gain revenge over the only man to have beaten him with a 10th round stoppage.
His first defence was against Welshman Jason Cook on 2 February 2010. Despite being rocked in the first round Daws did enough to retain the title via a draw with all three judges scoring closely. On 19 February 2011, in his third defence of the title, Daws lost the belt to Ashley Theophane at the Wembley Arena.
