Lou DiBella Fighter Quotations

While we are far more hopeful for Leavander's continued improvement and recovery, your prayers are important, and the family believes that prayers and good wishes are a continuing source of strength. Leavander Johnson's 16-year career as a professional fighter has been characterized by courage and the heart of a champion. He is facing this ordeal with that same champion's heart.

It's not all about the belts. It's about winning and making money. The belts are important, but I have to take care of my fighter and his future.

He's the best fighter with a bad record in boxing. That's why I promote him.
