Sixty-three-year-old Lou DiBella dons many hats. The founder of DiBella Entertainment found his mark in boxing promotion in particular, as he cared for many prominent and well-known fighters.

From Regis Prograis to Richard Commey, George Kambosos Jr., Bernard Hopkins, and Paulie Malignaggi, among many others, embraced his stable during this career.
