Jamaal, better known in the boxing fraternity as ‘Tyson’, was in seriously great shape thanks to the grueling training and conditioning schedule set by his long time trainer Shar’ron Baker and “coach of the year” contender Brother Naazim Richardson during his time in camp at ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley’s training facility in Big Bear, California.

Tyson entered the ring in his usual Diamond Boxing pink ‘Fight for the
Cure’ t-shirt. At every event he fights at Jamaal strives to bring awareness to Cancer support especially breast cancer from which his wife Patrilla passed away from in December 2007.

Just like he took care of business inside the ring with a dominating performance. Tyson also took care of business outside the ring through the sale of the pink ‘Fight for a Cure’ shirts to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. A donation by Jamaal and Diamond Boxing will by made to the ACS in honor of Jamaal's wife Patrilla.

Tyson, who was overjoyed with the win and that he and his team sold over 60 of the Diamond Boxing/American Cancer Society shirts at the event and the profits will be added to the funds donated by Diamond Boxing for the his fight, spoke of the night. “I’m dedicating this fight to my first and only love Patrilla. What a great night. I really enjoyed myself. I’d like to thank Clarence (Taylor) for giving me a great fight, he really came to fight and gave the crowd a good show. I have to thank Shar’ron, she has always been there for me. She came up with some great work for me, she always does. I have to give a big shout to ‘Sugar’ (Shane Mosley) Naazim (Richardson) and the Concrete Jungle Team as camp at Big Bear was awesome. Must also thank Russell (Peltz), for believing in me and giving me the chance to prove myself, Rob (Epstein) and Diane (Bennett) of Diamond Boxing for supporting me and the American Cancer Society appeal, these guys are special. I’d also like to thank the crowd as they were awesome. More than anything I want to thank my family for their love and support.”

Diane Bennett from Tyson’s sponsor www.diamondboxing.com said from ringside "That it is great seeing Jamaal perform so well in the ring and what makes him so special is the way he has dedicated himself in helping raise funds for such a great cause".
