Davison started boxing at the age of eight, trained by her father at home because the local boxing club did not accept girls.[1] She fought Ornella Wahner in 2010 and 2011,[2] before taking a seven year break from boxing and then winning the national championship in 2019.[3]

In June 2021, Davison qualified to represent Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics,[4] and reached the final of the 2020 European Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament by defeating Giordana Sorrentino via unanimous points decision in the semi-final.[5] She lost in the final of the Qualification event to Buse Naz Çakıroğlu by split decision.[6]
