David Diamante - Where has he gone?

Post by Controversial »

Just dawned on me I’ve not seen him announcing any fights for a while, unless I’ve just missed it. I thought he might have been used for the Riyadh fights. Any ideas where he’s gone?

I don't think you can go there if you've been to Israel recently.

Shalom is Jewish, but I don't think he's practicing. I'm sure Dimitri Salita was in Saudi for the first big shows.

His kippah, yeah. Only time I've seen him without it was at the Amir Khan fight. A Muslim vs a Jew three miles from the biggest Jewish community in the North East. Proof that Fwank puts a pound note before religious tensions.

It's illegal to openly practice any non-muslim religion in Saudi Arabia, so no churches or synagogues allowed.

Also no bumming

When did he first appear? What was he doing before MC work? Answers are very hard to find.

He did a Boxing Life Stories with Tris Dixon a few years ago. Talks about his background in that.
