June 09, 2009 - Atlanta, GA - WBA Fedelatin Champion Daniel “The Haitian Sensation” Edouard returns to action June 12 in Grande Ronde, Oregon at the Spirit Mountain Casino against Dumont Welliver of Snoqualmie Washington. He will be the main event on a card promoted by Square Ring Inc. His marketing and public relations will be managed by President, Tyler Barr of VMG Worldwide.
Edouard 21-2-2 12 ko's won the WBA Fedelatin title in his last fight on December 13, 2008 with a first round destruction of Eduardo De La Cruz. Now ranked number 9 by the WBA and number 15 by the WBC “The Haitian Sensation” is now in line to really make his move in the ring. His opponent for this fight is yet to be determined, but Edouard knows that this fight is incredibly important to position him for big things in the next 12 months. “Right now I just need to stay busy and keep winning and those big fights are going to come soon. There has been a lot of talk lately, and some very nice names have been thrown around. One of the opportunities that sound really appealing to me is a fight with WBA World Champion Felix Sturm. I would love that fight!”
Although Edouard is looking to really make his move in the ring in the next year, he is no stranger to doing big things inside or outside of the boxing ring. He has been seen several times in televised getting big wins. In 2004 Daniel was undefeated at 15-0-2 8 ko's when he was pitted against then undefeated knockout artist “The Gladiator” Willie Gibbs who was 17-0 14 ko's going into the fight. In an amazing fight for Edouard, he closed the show spectacularly with a devastating fourth round knockout. In another fight, still shown often by ESPN Classic, Daniel is seen winning a 10 round decision against then undefeated former “Contender” star Miguel Espino.
Outside of the ring Edouard is nothing short of a hero to many people worldwide.
Edouard, who is of Haitian descent, is the found of The Haitian Sensation Foundation. The Haitian Sensation Foundation aims to help the youth of Haiti build opportunity by bringing awareness to several sporting opportunities and offers the youth the opportunity to participate and excel in sports such as boxing, basketball, and track and field. As these sports gain popularity, and as the programs grow larger, the foundation has hopes of utilizing these sports to attract tourism as well. It also reaches into the United States where the foundation offers tutoring for children and food distribution program for immigrant Haitians in the U.S. that are in need. Along other lines the foundation also offers the immigrant youth from Haiti aid in learning the English language and help in adjusting to life in the United States.
“I've found through visiting with young people that if you can just help point them in the right direction and give them a little hope that many will take that hope and run with it, and it's amazing what can be achieved” said Edouard. Of the opportunity to help set up the Haitian Sensation Foundation Edouard had this to say “I'm just very excited to be in a place in my life where I actually have the opportunity to be able to be the founder of something like this. These kids are so worth working with, and to see the excitement that comes from these kids for such easy acts such as simple encouragement it's wonderful.
The amount of good that I can bring to their lives for doing things that are just taken for granted by most people is absolutely amazing and very rewarding. I'm simply honored.” Edouard has recently made big moves to push his career forward. He recently signed a promotional contract with Square Ring Inc. He also recent signed an exclusive worldwide marketing and representation agreement with VMG Worldwide Inc., a company that is among the world’s premier sports and entertainment companies, who is very excited about the marketing potential of the “Haitian Sensation.” Now, with a team set solidly behind him “The Haitian Sensation” looks to make his push towards winning and defending the world title, and maximize his ever growing potential, said Nick Sampson, VP VMG.
