It’s ‘Da Truth’ Tyson’s
Fired-Up For May 1st Showdown With Former Title
Challenger.
April 30, 2009
(APR 30) Philadelphia’s favourite
Light Middleweight contender Jamaal ‘Da Truth’ Davis (9-4-0), better
known around the boxing scene as ‘Tyson’, returns to his old home town
stomping ground, The Legendary Blue Horizon, this coming Friday night.
His opponent at the Russell Peltz Boxing/Joe Hand Promotions 1st May
event is Bahaman hard man Jerome Ellis (11-9-2).
Don’t let the stats fool you, this is going to be one cracking fight as
Ellis is no walkover for Davis. His pedigree speaks for itself as Ellis
is a former Bahaman Light Middleweight Champion and WBO NABO Light
Middleweight title challenger. Out of his eleven victories ten have been
by way of knockout and his losses have been against classy opposition
such as Miguel Angel Rodriquez, Henry Crawford and Richard Gutierrez.
Does this bother Davis? Not one iota. ‘Tyson’ clearly relishes the
thought of facing a former title challenger. “I want to go for a title
myself one day.” Davis explained “When I do I want to be ready. There’s
no better way than going in with someone that’s been there already.”
Davis’ ever present coach, Shar’ron Baker threw in her two-penneth.
“Jamaal is doing well with his sparring and is nasty and evil as ever.
That's when I know he's going to kick some A...!
This will be his second fight at the 154 pound limit of junior
middleweight and he's looking and feeling great. Friday, May 1st
promises to be an explosion of an event for Jamaal”
Just as in his two previous victories, against Clarence ‘Sonny Bonno’
Taylor and Chris Hall, ‘Tyson’ will be wearing the distinctive pink
Diamond Boxing/American Cancer Society T-Shirt as he enters the ring.
All sponsorship monies from DiamondBoxing.com and money raised from the
sale of the Pink T-Shirts are to be donated to The American Cancer
Society in the name of his young bride, Patrilla, who passed away just
one week before Christmas 2007 after battling breast cancer for many
years.
Last word has to go to the ever jovial Jamaal ‘Da Truth’ Davis AKA
Tyson: “This will be the best Tyson that anyone has seen. You ain’t
gonna wanna miss it. That’s Da Truth!”
Make a note in your diary and get down to the Blue Horizon, for what
promises to be a great night of boxing, to support ‘Tyson’ and the
American Cancer Society.
