Duva Boxing wishes to congratulate their three victorious warriors after Friday?¢??¬??¢s outstanding ESPN2 broadcasted event from sold-out Scranton CYC Center.

In the main event, the newest addition to Duva Boxing?¢??¬??¢s stable, Darnell ?¢??¬??Ding-a-Ling Man?¢??¬?¯ Wilson (21-5-3, 18 KOs) served notice to the world that he is a dire threat to the 200-lb world champions by scoring a crushing third-round knockout over former IBF king Kelvin Davis.

?¢??¬??With his impressive performance, Darnell left little doubt in anyone?¢??¬??¢s mind that he is a legitimate top contender,?¢??¬?¯ said Duva. ?¢??¬??What he did to Kelvin Davis, he could do to any other cruiserweight in the world and promotional partner Sal Musumeci and I are dedicated to getting him a title fight as soon as possible.?¢??¬?¯

The victory over Davis was Wilson?¢??¬??¢s third consecutive stoppage of a rated contender. He took out Daniel Judah in four rounds last September and crushed O?¢??¬??¢Neil Bell conqueror Dale Brown in two rounds in January.

In another of the televised bouts, Duva Boxing?¢??¬??¢s 21-year-old undefeated heavyweight Mike Marrone (17-0, 13 KOs) passed an important test by dominating formidable trialhorse Jermell Barnes and scoring a unanimous decision over six.

?¢??¬??Mike showed how much he?¢??¬??¢s developed by staying in control against a guy with a lot of experience against good competition. We think he?¢??¬??¢s ready for a showcase against a rated contender.?¢??¬?¯

And on the undercard, Pernell Whitaker-trained Raymond Biggs Jr., (5-0, 5 KOs) kept his perfect record and wowed the crowd with a first-round stoppage of Colorado?¢??¬??¢s David Marquez.

?¢??¬??I believe Raymond Biggs is one of the best prospects in all of boxing and with a legend like Sweet Pea training him, he?¢??¬??¢s ready to start becoming the future of the welterweight division.?¢??¬?¯

Duva says he hopes Friday?¢??¬??¢s event was the start of a good thing for one of his favorite fight towns. ?¢??¬??(Co-promoters) Chris Coyne and Maury Mehne of Northeast Boxing did a great job, and I?¢??¬??¢m looking forward to working with them again in the near future. We put on a great show for Scranton and they responded by filling up the CYC Center with fans. Overall, it was a great night for boxing and we?¢??¬??¢re happy to have been part of it.?¢??¬?¯
