"OUT OF THE SHADOWS"

After years of trying to find an identity, that time has finally come for Danny Batchelder. One might ask, who is Danny Batchelder? He's a legitimate force in the Super Middleweight division, with a spotless ledger of 19-0-1 with 14 wins coming by way of knockout.
"Danny Boy" -the ring name he goes by- is a commodity for various reason. First, he's a white Irish kid who can really fight. His style is extremely crowd-pleasing as he not only applies constant pressure and a vicious body-attack reminiscent of current IBF Cruiserweight Champion Vasili Jirov, but can also make the adjustment to box from the outside.
Most of those who have ever heard of Danny Batchelder, would associate him with former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson, since at times Tyson would be a part of Danny Boy's ring entrance entourage, along with Bundini wanna-be "Crocodile" and trainer Stacey McKinley.
Danny grew up in the New York area where he became acquainted with Mr. Tyson, and they have shared a lasting friendship. Danny no longer has to have Tyson in his corner or at an event; he's in it to have fans take notice of his skills as a fighter. He can "woo" them with his own display of skills and relentless attack as he did in Tampa, Florida on the 19th of April on a Direct TV boxing broadcast. At this event the crowd showed Batchelder their appreciation with a standing ovation and vast chorus of cheers as he went on to win via third round KO over Roosevelt Walker out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Danny doesn't want to be considered the next "White Hope," he only wants to become Champion of the World, one who just happens to be white. If he continues on this path of destruction of the foes put before him, it will happen and possibly sooner than later. With the Super Middleweight division being one of the lesser talent-laden divisions, there is no dominant Champion available and the Belts are there to be won from any of the current reigning Champions.
Keep your eyes and ears open and you will be able to say you saw it here first.
