DANA ‘Deadly’ Coolwell says he has what it takes to win the International Boxing Federation Pan Pacific Featherweight title in the July 15 clash with Olympian Luke Boyd at the Fortitude Music Hall.
Coolwell said his training leading into his upcoming fight this weekend has been positive, and that he’s primed and ready to defeat his opponent.

Dana is fighting for his second IBF title, after failing to secure the IBF Youth Super Feather title against Ender Luces in 2022, and said he knows what to do this
“I have to stick to what I do best which is box smart, he likes to load up and look for the KO so it’s the classic Boxer v Puncher,” he said.
“I believe come fight night I’ll have all the tools to beat Luke Boyd.”
The Beerwah based boxer also spoke about the importance to him to win this fight and title, and how proud he feels to have this opportunity.
“I’m very proud to fight for this title as it will put me higher in the rankings and get me a step closer to my goal,” Dana said.
“This next fight is a massive step in my career to get me to that next level… so a win on July 15th will get me in the rankings then bigger and better fights.”
If Dana wins this fight, he hopes it will lead him in the right direction towards another title fight, whether its regional or a title that brings him closer to a world title.
