Season 3: #16 David Diamante

Ring announcer David Diamante talks about making it to the top of his profession as one of the very best in the business. David, a cigar-smoking (he also has owned a cigar lounge and has his own brand of cigars), fifth generation Brooklynite, talks about his upbringing in Baltimore and coming through the hard way following addictions to drink and drugs when his life threatened to spiral out of control. Now 28 years sober and one of the most recognisable faces in the sport, Diamante has announced big fights the world over, including in Las Vegas, New York and all over Europe and in Saudi Arabia.  Boxing Life Stories is now on Patreon.
