IBF cruiserweight champion O'Neil "Give 'em Hell" Bell changes his professional name to O'Neil "Super Nova" Bell.
As O'Neil Bell prepares to defend his world championship belt in the next few months, he has made major changes in his personal and professional life. In addition to developing the blue print of his life and training for his next fight, Bell took time to attend the Book Bank Foundation's second Urban Vanguard Awards ceremony in Philadelphia, PA were he is a spokesman and advocate for the organization that combats illiteracy and develops programs to empower the needy. Bell explained to the media, "I thought it would be a change for the better. It's time for better things now that I'm the IBF champion of the world. The name 'Super Nova' represents change and creation. I'm rebuilding my life in and out of the ring."
