Në 2013, ai boxed për Boxing Ekipit Italia Thunder në World Series Boxing, duke fituar ndeshjen e tij të vetëm kundër një kundërshtari gjerman.

 

Scardina pari kapur vëmendjen Seip-së në botë famshme 5th St. Gym në Miami Beach, fillimisht u hap në 1950 nga Chris Dundee, dhe shtëpia e kampionëve të panumërta të botës kanë trajnuar atje përfshirë Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston dhe Willie Pep.

Trajnerët Guy Laieta dhe Dino Spencer filloi të punojë me të dhe tani ai është duke përdorur shtrirjen e tij, luftuar në një distancë, dhe duke hedhur kombinimet e grushte dhe grepa. Ai është i pasionuar për boks, dëgjuarit dhe të të nxënit çdo ditë. Daniele ka shpejtësi të mirë të dorës dhe fuqi. Ai është një fëmijë i bukur, shumë. Unë pashë diçka në të,, paprekshme, dhe vendosi të nënshkruajë atë.

 

“Dino është një pronar i cili ka krijuar një palestër nivel të lartë me mundësi të mëdha mësimi në një atmosferë shfaqur aq shumë luftëtarë të talentuar që me të vërtetë shtyjnë njëri-tjetrin. Është tashmë e qartë se Danielle ka përmirësuar aftësitë e trajnimit të tij atje. Ai është i gjatë, i shpejtë dhe i fuqishëm. Punën e tij etike është e pabesueshme; ai është i pari në palestër, fundit për të lënë. Ju nuk mund të dëmtojë këtë kec, ose. Ne të gjithë besojmë se ai ka një të ardhme shumë të ndritur.”

Antuofermo, megjithëse, u zhvendos me familjen e tij në Bruklin nga Puglia, Itali kur ai ishte 17 dhe ai mësoi se si të kuti në Amerikë.

 

“Unë kam kërkuar gjithmonë të jetë një kampion në Amerikë,” Scardina tha. “Kjo është ëndrra amerikane për mua. Unë mendoj se unë do të keni një mundësi e madhe në këtë vend për të qenë boksier më i madh që unë mund të jetë me ndihmën e duhur. John Seip është menaxher i duhur për mua sepse ai beson ne mund kampionat botëror së bashku si një ekip.”

 

Boxers preferuar Scardina janë Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux dhe Miguel Cotto. “Unë jam duke punuar në përsosmëri si një luftëtar jashtë dhe për të kryesore krahët e mi më të ngushta,” Scardina shtuar. Unë jam duke luftuar për t'u bërë kampion bote.”
