Sinopsis

MustLoveMMA.com reporter Susan Cingari speaks with Boxing Olympic Gold Medalist and CEO of Fight Time Promotions, Howard Davis JR. Davis talks about his company's deal with CBS Sports Network and their plans for the future. He also tells us the inspiring story of how days before he competed in the 1976 Olympics, his mother died and he was forced to make an agonizing decision to stay and compete or leave the games. He stayed and won gold for his mom, and was also awarded the "Val Barker Trophy" at the 1976 Olympics, beating out such boxers as Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael Spinks, and Leon Spinks. Davis turned pro after the Olympics and went on to a professional record of 36–6–1 with 14 knockouts. Davis also tells us what it was like to train UFC legend Chuck Liddell and discusses being inducted into the Broward County Sports Hall Of Fame.
