Dyah Davis returns to the ring this Sunday as he takes on Edgar Perez at the Seminole Casino Immokalee

Dyah Davis, “My Father’s spirit lives in me
IMMOKALEE, FL. (Januari 28, 2016)It has been about a month since Howard Davis Jr. passed away.
The former Olympic star and professional was one of the most well liked people in the boxing community. During the process of Davis falling ill, his son Dyah was by his side and he now vows to carry on the boxing legacy set forth by his father.
Davis of Coconut Creek, Florida will be back in the ring for the first time in a 17 månader, will take on Edgar Perez på söndag at the Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee.
Davis has been trying to get back in the ring sooner, but could not find anyone to step up and fight him.
I was trying to get fights and I always am decent shape,”sade 34 årige Davis.
I guess that I am too much trouble for contenders and too dangerous for prospects. I guess that means I am high risk and no reward.
When his father passed away on December 30, 2015, Davis began to get even more motivated about his career.
I found my motivation with the passing of my father. His legacy will continue on through me. His spirit is in me. My father was my best friend. He always knew that I have the ability and now it is time to show the world that.
With a possible fight on the horizon and his father living out his last days, Davis made the most of his time with Howard.
My main objective in his last few weeks was to spend as much time as possible. We didn’t talk too much boxing. We watched some of his old tapes as we just saw the impact he made on so many people. It made me feel great to see the people who reached out following his passing. Lots of people reached out in so many ways.
Dyah feels he has a new start in boxing as he has inked a deal with Marshall Kauffman’s King’s Promotions.
I am fortunate that Marshall is giving me a shot. He has put on a lot of shows in the past couple years and I am looking for bigger fights. As seen by my record, I will fight anybody. It just seems everybody wants an easy route these days. My route is that I want to fight only big fights. I feel like I can get there by fighting the best. This is just a fight to get back in the mix of things. I really don’t know anything about him. I will get in there and take care of him.
The fans should look forward to see a new and improved Dyah Davis. My father’s spirit lives within and i will carry on his legacy.
Davis – Perez is part of the undercard of a great night of boxing that will be showcased on PBC: Nästa omgång om Bounce TV. Den telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. OCH/PT and is headlined by undefeated rising star Erickson “Hammer” Lubin taking on Mexican brawler Jose De Jesus Macias in a 10-round super welterweight battle while welterweights AlexEl PolloDe Jesus and Joseph Elegele meet in an eight-round showdown.

Efter sensationell seger över Donovan Dennis, The Sky is Now the Limit for Heavyweight Slugger Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller

 

Arrangören Greg Cohen från Greg Cohen Promotions säger att han inte kunde vara nöjdare med föreställningen som inlämnades i fredags kväll av kämpen som han samfrämjar (med Dmitriy Salita från Salita Promotions), obesegrad tungvikt slugger Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller.
Miller, nu 16-0-1, 14 Kos, visade både sin skrämmande kraft och utmärkta boxningsfärdigheter medan han gjorde en brutal TKO 7 över ett extremt spel Donovan Dennis. Kämpar i co-main-evenemanget för en nationellt tv-sänd ShoBox: Den nya generationen från Casino Del Sol i Tucson, Arizona, Miller gjorde troende av många genom att visa djup och ringintelligens för att gå med sina släghammare.
“Jarrell visade att han inte bara är en stor stans,” säger Greg Cohen. “Han visade förmågan att ändra sin spelplan under en strid. Det är mycket viktigt på de högre nivåerna i divisionen. Han tog nästan Dennis’ kör iväg i första omgången, men när han såg det på något sätt skulle han överleva ett tag, han gick över till boxning och återupprättade sin dominans på det sättet. Det var precis vad han borde ha gjort där inne.”
Miller, som vann NABA Heavyweight Championship med segern, är nu i kö för ett ännu högre profilmatch med en rankad utmanare.
“Jarrell är en kraft att räkna med och med sin makt, skicklighet, atletik och karisma, han kan bli en världsomspännande stjärna och vara mannen som återställer tungviktsavdelningen till dess ära,” fortsatte Cohen. “Människor älskar honom och kan inte räcka med honom!”
Cohen säger att även om Miller kallade ut divisionens mästare efter segern, det troliga nästa steget kommer att bli en topp tio kämpe i en av de sanktionerande organisationerna.
“Vi tror att han kan slå någon av mästarna just nu, i dag. Men för att få honom dit måste vi nästa fokusera på någon som rankas ovanför honom och ta deras plats med våld. Men jag har fullt förtroende för att vi är mindre än ett år ifrån att få Jarrell till det världsskott han vill ha mer än någonting.”
