RIP. Thought and prayers with him and his family. Good Piece OTG.
Another black day for the sport of boxing, Darren will be a huge loss. He was a down to earth, humble man who always had time to chat with his fans. I remember breaking down his fights with him and how he was genuinely interested in other people’s assessment’s of his performances. He had a tremendous attitude and was poised to do big things in the sport.
My Thoughts and prayers go out to Darren’s family in this sad time.
R.I.P. Dazzler!
