Boxing fans, this is a one and only chance for you to support Cancer Awareness and win an autographed t-shirt signed by many of the great boxers featured and in attendance at the Shamrocks and Dreams Event in Philly on October 4, 2008.

The shirt has been signed in person by Hall of Famer Jeff Chandler, former Heavyweight Champ Tim Witherspoon and his son Tim Witherspoon Jr., who just got his first victory, IBF Cruiserweight Champion Steve Cunningham, former World Junior Middleweight Champion Kassim ‘The Dream’ Ouma, current NABA Light Heavyweight Champ Yusaf Mack, Irish boxing up and coming Stars Paul Hyland, Simon ‘Slick Fighting Irish’ O’Donnell and Patrick Hyland.

This pink cancer support t-shirt has a special meaning and it’s a symbol of the courageous efforts of Philadelphia boxer Jamaal Davis, who is doing what ever it takes to highlight the importance of cancer awareness.

Davis is a young middleweight from Philadelphia who lost his wife Patrilla, who passed away at the age of 25 last December after battling breast cancer for years. Davis, who was decked out in pink for Cancer Awareness Month, fought a four round bout on the October 4 Shamrocks and Dreams Event in honor and memory of his wife.

Davis and his kind hearted trainer Sharron Baker have also autographed this shirt. All proceeds from this auction will be donated to The American Cancer Society in memory of Patrilla Davis.

Steve Cunningham, current IBF Cruiserweight Champ who is preparing for his December 11 title defense against Tomasz ‘Polish Warrior’ Adamek at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, is also contributing to this great cause and supporting Davis, his gym mate, by giving the winner of this auction a chance to meet him and watch one of his training sessions at The James Shuler Memorial Gym.

Cunningham will also sign a pair of boxing gloves for the winning bidder.

Please help KO Cancer by bidding on this awesome boxing package. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to The American Cancer Society. Winning bidder has the option to make a check payable to the American Cancer Society for the total of the winning bid.

Steve Cunningham and the winning bidder must agree on a mutual time for the meet and greet.

Haney does not want to fight Shakur 23/10/2026
I’ve seen their sparring videos on YouTube. And I can see why Haney is having all of this hullabaloo before signing on to fight Shakur Stevenson. He knows he can’t beat Shakur. Plus, coming off of that ass-whipping he got from Ryan Garcia, steroid claims aside, he knows Shakur will cook him and he does not want to have another legitimate loss on his record. […]
Ryan Garcia v Floyd Mayweather? 23/10/2026
Could this silly fight happen? A 50 year old who has not fought since 2017 taking on a young peak welterweight. Surely it can’t happen. Conor Benn was bad but this is awful. 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic […]
Why did we believe Morrison would have beaten Mercer? 22/10/2026
Why was anyone giving Tommy Morrison a chance in that fight? That fight went the way it was supposed to go, with Ray Mercer winning even though that ko was probably one of the most brutal you would ever see in boxing. Check the facts, Mercer beat Morrison in the amateurs. Handily as well. Mercer was the champion… Mercer was the heavy favorite. 3 posts - 2 pa […]
I just realize how scared Spinks was ahead of his fight against Tyson 22/10/2026
Did you guys stop to appreciate how frightened Spinks was? Even as a trained fighter like himself, you could see the visible fear in his eyes. He knew he stood no chance of winning. He also was probably thinking about how bad those punches were going to hurt. lolol… I could swear I saw him trembling in the ring when Tyson’s music came on and started his walk […]

Do we understand that these people are FIGHTING? 03/10/2026
We watch boxing as if it is just a sport. But do we realize that these people are fighting. Like, literally trying to beat each other to death in the ring? Do we appreciate how different that is? I was sitting back today and watching some old fights and the reality hit me. These people are actually fighting. How amazing and shocking that is at the same time? […]
