Danny O'Connor Back in Action with New Trainer Ronnie Shield

[The_budweiser]

uper lightweight contender Danny O'Connor will make his long-awaited return to the ring on September 21 at the Tenth Annual Fight to Educate event at the Verizon Center in Manchester, New Hampshire.

 

Though he will always be the fighting pride of Framingham, Massachusetts, O'Connor recently left his wife Diane and five-month-old baby boy Liam behind and relocated to Houston, Texas, to work with legendary trainer Ronnie Shields.

 

26-year-old O'Connor says he appreciates former trainer Dave Keefe's work, but it was time to make a switch.

 

"I want this so bad I'm willing to move where I don't know anyone, just so I can train with one of the best in the game. I am a fighter and I want to give my family the best life possible, so this is what I had to do."

 

O'Connor says that while an undiagnosed health problem, anemia, didn't help during his SHOWTIME-televised unanimous decision loss to fellow contender Gabriel Bracero last April 8, he admits he also needed some fine tuning in his technique.
