NABA cruiserweight champion Denton Daley To make 2nd title defense Feb. 15 in Canada
(L) "Dangerous" Denton Daley sticks his jab
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada (January 22, 2014) - Undefeated North American Boxing Association (NABA) cruiserweight champion "Dangerous" Denton Daley (11-0, 6 KOs) is set to make his second title defense Saturday night, February 15 against veteran Andres Taylor (21-5-2, 8 KOs) at Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Denton is a 31-year-old Brampton native, who trains in Kitchener, Ontario, and is rated No. 7 by the World Boxing Association (WBA) and No. 14 by the World Boxing Council (WBC). Taylor is a former World Boxing Foundation (WBF) All-Americas cruiserweight champion from Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Denton vs. Taylor is the 12-round main event on "Doomsday," promoted by United Boxing Promotions (UBP) in association with Title Fight Promotions. Denton's promoter, Don MacDonald, believes this is a crossroads fight for both boxers.
"Denton has to beat a tough veteran like Taylor to prove that he's a legitimate world class cruiserweight and future world title challenger," UBP president Don MacDonald said. "Taylor needs to pull off an upset to get back into the cruiserweight picture and beating Denton will likely position him in the world ratings."
Daley's most significant victory to date is a win by 10-round decision over former world champion Richard Hall last March for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) cruiserweight championship. In his last fight, Daley won a unanimous 10-round decision this past September versus Jean Marc Monrose (26-6).
A gatekeeper of the cruiserweight division, Taylor has been stopped only once in 28 professional fights. He was supposed to challenge WBA World Cruiserweight Champion Guillermo Jones in the fall of 2012, but Jones' hand injury postponed the fight and Taylor never got his world title shot. Jones has since fought only once and has been designated as the WBA Cruiserweight Champion in Recess.
Denton was a standout basketball player for Canadian hoop powerhouse Sheridan College, from where he graduated in 2004 with a degree in business administration. Three years later, he took a friend up on his offer to go to a boxing gym and he hasn't looked back.
His athleticism helped him make a smooth transition from basketball to boxing in a relative short time. "I was told by my amateur coach, Dwight Frazier, I was lucky to have played basketball because, in the ring, I had natural foot movement and good hand-and-eye coordination," Denton said. "The transition from one sport to another was easy. I've never really thought about getting hurt in boxing. I understand you can get hurt but I have concentrated on minimizing the possibility by training hard and being in top condition. I've always been fearless."
Denton is fortunate to have two-time world title challenger Syd "The Jewel" Vanderpool (35-4, 23 KOs) as his head trainer. "Syd has been a blessing in disguise," Denton explained. "He is a very technical coach, explaining why every move is made. He immediately got my attention and I've fully trusted him since we met."
"Denton came to me with lots of athletic ability and uncanny ring awareness," Vanderpool noted. "He studies a lot and is a real student of the game. He's working on basic fundamentals and balance that he'll need once we get to the highest level of competition. He's learning how to systemically break down opponents instead of just launching punches. I told him he has 12 rounds to breakdown an opponent; take away their jab and movement, and then go for the kill."
"Doomsday" tickets, starting at $35.00, are on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets and the Hershey Centre Box Office. Doors open at 7 p.m. ET with the first fight scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET.

DALEY CAPTURES NABF CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE
Kitchener Fighter Dominates Veteran Richard Hall Over Ten Rounds
TORONTO, ON – (MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2013) Kitchener, Ontario’s “Dangerous” Denton Daley claimed his first of what promises to be many important boxing titles with a lopsided 10 round unanimous decision over former light heavyweight world champion Richard Hall, to capture the NABF Cruiserweight crown.
Daley (9-0, 5KO’s) utilized his obvious edges in hand and foot speed to confuse Hall (30-12, 28 KO’s) early, and batter him late, enroute to the impressive win.
All three judges had the fight 100-90 for Daley, who had nothing but praise for the cagey Hall after the verdict was read.
“I learned a lot this fight,” Daley said afterward.
“Hall is such a warrior, and knows all about making the right moves at the right time. One inch this way, or one inch that way. And you’re not in the proper position to land. This is the kind of fight that makes you a better fighter, and allows you to finish off guys like this.”
Despite Daley’s praise for Hall, his right hand found a consistent home all over Hall’s head and body, throwing it from every angle violently and effectively.
After the cagey Hall was on the wrong end of a cat and mouse game over the first four rounds, he came out aggressively in the fifth, attacking Daley in a corner with both hands before the sharpshooting prospect battled back with a series of concussive rights to take emphatic control of the fight.
The offensive display from Daley continued through the seventh, when a fusilage of Daley rights opened a cut over Hall’s right eye, and had the veteran of four world title fights wobbling noticeably.
“He’s a tough tough fighter who knows how to survive in the ring. This was a real test for me.”
In the evening’s co-feature, Ghislain Maduma of Montreal (13-0, 9 KO’s) and Mexican Josafat Perez (13-5-1, 8 KO’s) battled for the vacant WBC Continental America’s Lightweight title, with Maduma surviving the bloody battle with a tenth round TKO win.
A strong Maduma right hand in the first opened a cut over Perez’ right eye, and set the tone for the blood that was to come.
The second round saw crimson flow from both fighters after a headbutt split Perez open just to the left of his nose by the brow, and opened Maduma up just over the right eye. Madua answered the adversity with a quick hand that sent Perez to the canvas.
The pitch battle continued through the middle rounds with Perez scoring some effective counters, and Maduma pressing the pace with a stiff jab and crisp rights to the head and body.
Eventual, Maduma’s pace, conditioning, and diligent work from his cutman, Bob Prince, began to tell, as the blood from above his eye subsided, and his pace seemed to quicken that much more, despite Perez’ best efforts that included a crunching uppercut along the ropes in the sixth that saw Maduma take his first unsure steps of the fight.
In the seventh, Maduma blasted several lefts and rights that landed square on the jaw of Perez and foretold the punishment that was to come in the 8th as Maduma picked up the pace even more, adding debilitating body shot to his repertoire that further weakened the game, but now dangerously weary and increasingly vulnerable Perez.
By the tenth, the courageous and game Perez finally succumbed to the Montrealer’s onslaught after two crushing Maduma body shots sent the Mexican down to a knee. After beating referee Dave Dunbar’s count, Perez indicated that he was done.
Toronto cruiserweight Chukwunoso Okafor (3-1-1, 1 KO) was out-worked over four rounds by Mexico’s Benito Quiroz (8-2, 7 KO’s). Scores were 39-37, 39-38, 39-37 all for the fresher Quiroz, who broke down the noticeably exhausted Okafor with crushing shots to the body throughout the fight.
In the opening bout of the evening, Toronto welterweight Junmar Emon raised his record to 5-1 (1 KO) with a hard fought 6 round split decision over Brampton’s Jeremy Abbott (3-4, 2KO’s).
Scores were 59-54, 57-56, and 57-58.
A crisp counter right hand early in round one that sent Abbott crashing to the canvas proved to be the difference for Emon, who battled through a nasty cut over his right eye for most of the fight, not to mention Abbott’s long jab and effective lateral movement with the heavier, all the while landing the cleaner, more effective punches.
