Boxingtalk’s Kirk Lang believes that Damon Dash’s foray into boxing with Dash/DiBella Promotions should be a particularly strong partnership. Lang notes that, though Dash is not well known in boxing, he has actually long been a fan and that Roc-A-Fella sponsored junior welterweight Zab Judah. Lang also states that:

“Dash once said in a Hip-Hop magazine that one of his prized possessions is a pair of personalized autographed boxing gloves that Muhammad Ali gave to him.”

Nice bit of “instant” credibility based on actual personal involvement.
