Davis, a six-time world champion and one of the most influential figures in snooker history, appeared visibly moved as he spoke about the pressure, rivalries, and friendships that shaped decades of professional competition.
During the heartfelt moment, Davis mentioned fellow snooker superstar Ronnie O’Sullivan, praising the seven-time world champion for his extraordinary talent and lasting impact on the game.
“Ronnie changed snooker forever,” Davis said, fighting back tears. “Watching his brilliance over the years has been something special for all of us in the sport.”
The emotional interview quickly spread across the snooker community, with fans sharing messages of respect for Davis and celebrating the legacy both legends have built over generations.
Many supporters described the moment as a powerful reminder of the passion and dedication that define professional snooker, as two icons of different eras continue to inspire players and fans around the world.
While Davis has largely stepped away from top-level competition, his influence remains strong, and his admiration for O’Sullivan highlights the bond shared among the sport’s greatest champions.
