Figueroa/Guerrero Headlines Boxing Return to Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum on July 15

Not since March 10, 1986, when an 18-0 ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson made the commute from upstate Catskill to Uniondale on Long Island to lay out journeyman Steve Zouski in the third round with a picture-perfect left hook, has the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum exhibited an evening of professional boxing.

A year ago today we lost Howard Davis Jr. due to Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Many knew of Howard's many accomplishments: first fighter to win the New York Golden Gloves 4-times in a row, only American Boxer to win in the Pan American Games in Cuba, 1976 Boxing Olympic Gold Medalist, awarded the Val Barker Trophy for being the most outstanding boxer of the 1976 Olympics, successful professional boxer with a career that spanned nearly 20 years, MMA pioneer training fighters on how to stand and strike in the embryo stages of the sport, appeared on the Ultimate Fighter Season 11 as Chuck Liddell's boxing coach and the most successful MMA promoter in the State of Florida after co-founding Fight Time Promotions with his wife - Karla Guadamuz-Davis.
Howard Davis Jr. was inducted into the following Hall of Fames:
New York Golden Gloves Boxing Hall of Fame
Florida Boxing Hall of Fame
New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame
New York Boxing Hall of Fame
Broward County Sports Hall of Fame
These many accomplishments and accolades only tell a small fraction of who Howard Davis Jr. was. He was a musician, who played four instruments and performed at the famed Apollo theater with the likes of Sammy Davis Jr. and James Brown. Howard was a historian, who collected numerous books and was an avid reader. Howard also loved to motivate others to succeed and cheered for those when they didn't believe in themselves. His bright smile, boyish smirk and storytelling captivated anyone that he came across. Howard left us too soon, but his love, words of wisdom and legacy will live on forever. We miss you very much, Howard. You will never be forgotten.

We celebrate the life of 1976 Boxing Olympic Gold Medalist - Howard Davis Jr. this Friday during the Mens Amateur Boxing Championship Fights.

When Howard Davis Jr. was diagnosed with Lung Cancer; it was a shock to himself, loved ones and fans across the globe. The 1976 Boxing Olympic Gold Medalist has lived a clean and healthy life. It was just days before his 59th birthday in February of 2015, when he was diagnosed with Stage-4 Lung Cancer. The cancer metastasized to his liver and parts of his bones.

Howard and his family were devastated, worried about the future and unsure of what would be the next course of action. After weeks of research; Davis Jr. decided to combine both traditional cancer fighting methods as well as more natural forms of healing.

Never one to back out of a fight; Howard Davis Jr. was motivated and encouraged to do more in order to help others facing the same scenario that changed his life. That’s when the Howard Davis Jr. Foundation, a non-for-profit organization, was launched.

After a hard-fought battle; Howard Davis Jr. passed away on Dec. 30th, 2015 in the arms of his beloved wife – Karla Guadamuz-Davis. He left behind brothers & sisters and children including his little girl Samiha, who was only 5-years-old when Howard passed.

Today, the mission of The Howard Davis Jr. Foundation is to preserve the Howard Davis Jr. legacy. All funds will go to create programs, scholarships and fund sporting organizations that provide a better environment for children in low-income neighborhoods; things that Howard Davis Jr. was passionated about.

The Howard Davis Jr. Foundation will also support and create athletic programs aimed for children and launch campaigns to get the word out about the state of Cancer in America. As a strong believer in alternative methods to fight Cancer; Howard Davis Jr.’s mission during the last year of his life, was to make these medicines available to those who desperately need them.

The Howard Davis Jr. Foundation will work on the following events & remembrance tribute honors this year:

The Howard Davis Jr. Music Scholarship

The Howard Davis Jr. Boxing Club (gym will be renamed this year in Ft. Lauderdale)

The Howard Davis Jr. Alternative Way to Fight Cancer Symposium

The Howard Davis Jr. 2nd Annual Dinner Fundraiser

The Howard Davis Jr. Amateur Boxing Night of Champions Fights

The Howard Davis Jr. Foundation 5K Run/Walk

The Howard Davis Jr. US Postal Stamp

The Howard Davis Jr. Boxing Gym in Glen Cove, NY

We have a lot of work to do and we look forward on counting on your support to make the Howard Davis Jr. Foundation a success!

Howard Davis Jr. was a passionate and compassionate man; with a smile that lit up a room.
