(1888PressRelease)
March 19, 2009 - VMG Worldwide, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vexiom Corporation, is among the world's most premier sports, entertainment, and media companies, announced today that Haitian WBA Fedelatin Champion Daniel Edouard has signed with the company for exclusive worldwide marketing representation.
The Haitian native's decision to add VMG to his marketing team demonstrates his commitment to making every effort to remain fully engaged with his U.S. and international fans, media and community groups across the globe.
"While my career is based in the United States, Haiti is home, so of course I want to remain fully connected there in every way possible, and working with VMG, with their resources in the U.S. and around the world, will help me do that," said Edouard. "I consider myself very fortunate to enjoy a career in professional sports, but to me it is a platform to accomplish much more, especially as it relates to helping others."
The 28-year old Edouard, best known on HBO, Showtime, and ESPN for his prolific speed and defensive boxing skills earn the (21-2-12) WBA Champion the ninth ranking in the world to win the WBA Fedelatin and WBA Fedecentro Championships, is in fact an extremely talented boxing athlete and boasts a business and humanitarian resume as multi-dimensional as his athletic interests.
"Daniel Edouard is not only a Haitian sports treasure, but a global icon, and VMG looks forward to working with him on his out of the ring business strategies and promotional efforts," said Tyler Barr, Chief Executive Officer, VMG Worldwide. "Daniel is an example of everything that we could hope for in a role model for young people, and our goal is to help him reach new audiences, specifically in U.S., but also internationally."
While he has enjoyed huge success in his professional endeavors, both in and out the ring, perhaps Edouard’s greatest legacy will be in his charitable work all over the globe. The Haitian Sensation Foundation was formed in 2002 and is aimed at giving troubled youths around the world the opportunity to accomplish their dreams through music, theater, dance, and sports.
Edouard’s list of awards and accolades out the ring is as long as his accomplishments inside the ring. Daniel has also entered into the promotion world with Haitian Sensation Promotions. Daniel’s personal motto is “You are only one decision from either greatness or defeat.”
