I wish to express my deepest condolences to Danny's family & friends. Danny was the kind of person who left a mark on everyone he met, not just because of his deep passion for boxing, but because of his kindness. His love for the sport was genuine, but it was his warmth and humility that made him unforgettable. Even in a world as tough as boxing, Danny remained one of the nicest souls you could ever encounter. His excitement when talking about a great match or a legendary fighter was contagious, but it was his generosity of spirit that truly set him apart. Danny may have fought many battles in life, but he always did so with grace and a heart full of love. His absence is deeply felt, yet the impact of his kindness will forever linger in the lives he touched.

My sincere condolences to Danny’s family and friends. I was privileged to know Danny since I was a little kid when I first started boxing, but Danny became a much closer friend over the past several years. I’ll miss our conversations, especially during the big fights that were on TV. You always said things the way they were and that’s why I respected you so much. Thank you for your friendship, it truly meant so much to me. 🙏
