    Foire aux questions

    Joe Davis and his younger brother Fred Davis were introduced to cue sports at a young age, beginning their journey in the early 20th century. Joe was the first to achieve major success, effectively pioneering the modern game of snooker and winning fifteen consecutive world titles. Fred followed in his brother's footsteps, developing his own unique style and eventually becoming a multiple world champion himself, ensuring the Davis name dominated the professional snooker scene for decades.

    While Joe and Fred Davis shared a deep familial bond, their professional relationship was defined by a competitive rivalry on the table. As two of the most elite professional snooker players of their era, they often faced off in high-stakes matches. Fred spent much of his early career trying to emerge from Joe's shadow, and their encounters are a significant chapter in the history of snooker, representing a unique era where two brothers were the best in the world.

    Joe Davis was the most dominant force in the sport's history, winning every World Snooker Championship from its inception in 1927 until his retirement from the tournament in 1946, totaling 15 titles. Fred Davis was also highly successful, winning the World Championship three times and the World Professional Match-play Championship five times. Together, the Davis brothers established a legacy as snooker world champions that remains unmatched in the sport's long history.
