Veteran super middleweight Denis Douglin is now approaching his career with new enthusiasm following a solid decision victory in August over the previously undefeated Vaughn Alexander. Douglin (21-6, 13 KOs) is newly signed with Main Events, with a bout scheduled on November 3 at The Aviator in his hometown of Brookyn, New York.

Douglin says he's approaching every fight now as "do or die," and won't tolerate a single loss. "I'm confident the way I'm training. I've been written off by a lot of people. I have a daughter (Ariah, age one and a half). I need to make sure she's fine. I'm dedicating everything to this last run," said Douglin, starting with his November 3 matchup.

But Douglin still finds the joy in his work. "I go into the ring and have fun," said Douglin. "When I have fun and I'm in shape, I'm going to win. A lot of my losses came from me not taking things seriously ... Nobody has beaten a 100 percent 'Momma's Boy.' I feel the hunger."

"Anybody I lost to, I'd love to fight again. (George) Groves, (Anthony) Dirrell, David Benavidez. I think super middleweight is very open," said Douglin.

Douglin says he's thrilled to be working with Main Events. "I fought my third professional fight on a Main Events card," recalls Douglin. "I've always had a good relationship with Kathy (Duva) and Jolene (Mizzone). I have nothing but respect for hard working women. My mom is one of the hardest working women I know. 

"Women in boxing have tenacity, intensity, especially in a male dominated sport. They go the extra mile because they have something to prove," said Douglin.

Douglin is trained by his mother Saphya Douglin, herself a former boxer. "My mom made me work harder than everyone else ... Women go a lot harder than men and get half the recognition," said Douglin.

While Douglin's father took a back seat to his training in the ring, he showed him how to be a good man outside the ring. "I learned so much from my dad. He showed me you can be a manly man and still take on a lot of the 'women's jobs," said Douglin, as his father ran the household while his mother took him to the gym. "That showed me so much in a man."

Douglin is especially enthusiastic about the opportunity to fight on a live streaming platform like Facebook Watch. "I love it. I love this is the way the world is going now ... We're going to make some noise."
