Veteran boxing reporter Mike Lockley has picked Danny out as a star for the future.
Danny’s coach Edwin Cleary, of Cleary’s Boxing Gym, said: “Danny was up against an opponent who has knocked a lot of people out and in a heavier weight division but he had the crowd on their feet and he just ran through him.”
