Green Ends Boxing Career
By Donald Geranen: WBA light heavyweight champion Danny Green (25-3, 22 KOs) n 25 (KO 22) announced his retirement from boxing, saying “I woke up at 1am Sunday morning with my stomach churning, and it was telling me to hang up my gloves, basically.” Apparently, Green, 35, had lost his interest in boxing seemingly at the time that he had found his best success. Most recently, Green defeated Stipe Drews in December to win the WBA light heavyweight championship. Although I personally had the fight ruled a draw, Green was given the decision, and was set to defend the title in April against Hugo Garay, a very winnable fight for Green. However, Green had had enough of boxing and opted to end while on top.
