Duva & Brooks Announce Split!
Brother and sister team and Duva Boxing LLC co-owners, Dino Duva and Donna Brooks, have announced an end to their long-time partnership as boxing promoters and agreed to an amicable split.

Duva Family patriarch and legendary boxing manager and trainer Lou Duva agreed. "Both of them have my 100% blessing. I am extremely happy for Dino and Donna. I will be there to support both of them to help them achieve continued success in whatever they do.”
