Da'VelleSmith

Carrying the torch for Detroit’s legendary boxing heritage, Da'Velle "The Hitman 2.0″ Smith is rapidly asserting himself as an elite knockout sensation in the super middleweight division. Smith built a highly decorated amateur foundation, capturing four national titles, a Michigan Junior Olympics Championship, a Michigan Silver Gloves Championship, and the prestigious amateur WBC Big Belt Championship before smoothly transitioning to the professional ranks. Standing a towering 6'2" with a slender, powerful frame, his explosive right hand and distinct ring presence naturally drew immediate, high-praise comparisons to the iconic Thomas Hearns, a likeness that eventually earned him the blessing of "The Hitman" himself. Signed under Salita Promotions, Smith has completely weaponized his high fight IQ and devastating power under the world-class tutelage of Kronk Gym disciple Javan "Sugarhill" Steward. Now sitting comfortably at an undefeated 14-0, Smith’s resume features statement-making, tactical victories over tough veterans like Antonio Todd, Martez McGregor at Little Caesars Arena, and Janer Gonzalez at the Fox Theater. As he continues to climb the ranks with an eye on breaking into the global top 20, the Michigan native stands out as one of the most dangerous and technically proficient young contenders poised to inherit the throne of the modern Kronk Boxing legacy.
