Dan Duva

Dan Duva

Daniel Salvator Duva (7 November 1951 – 30 January 1996) was a boxing promoter who promoted or co-promoted over 100 world championship fights through his family run business, Main Events. Under his leadership Main Events promoted such notable champions as Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Pernell Whitaker, Mark Breland and many others. Duva was the son of prominent boxing trainer Lou Duva and was married to current Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. He was one of the earliest promoters to achieve financial success in the pay-per-view market. He first gained prominence in the boxing world through the 1981 promotion of the Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns welterweight championship fight, which grossed $40 million in pay-per-view and closed circuit revenue. Duva's career, and life, ended early due to a brain tumor.
