Martial Attitude Voice

23-09-2023 • 57 mins

David "Dangerous Darkie" Rajuili is a 34 year old professional boxer, former WBF super featherweight and All Africa lightweight champion.

After more than 20 years dedicated passionately to boxing, which led him from South Africa to continental Europe, David is now preparing for an important bout against the Swedish lightweight Anthony Yigit on October the 7th, 2023.

Across his career, David has fought 25 bouts and has a record of 13 wins (3 KO), 11 losses (2 KO), and 1 draw.

David loves to fight and he is afraid  only of the higher power above, to which he conveys his prayer of safety for himself and his opponent.

In such a long run in professional boxing, has his view on fear changed over the years? How does he approach the idea of retirement? Does fear hold him back or does it serve him in a meaningful and different way?
