Daniel Thomas O'Connor (born March 30, 1985, in Framingham, Massachusetts) is an American professional boxer in the Light Welterweight division. O'Connor currently fights for the boxing promotion Murphys Boxing, which was founded by Ken Casey of the Boston punk band, Dropkick Murphys.
An Irish American, O'Connors' involvement in sports started at a very young age. He started playing soccer at the age of five years and continued throughout High School. Danny remains an avid soccer fan and is a supporter of Celtic F.C., Liverpool F.C., his home town team the New England Revolution and is a member of American Outlaws US Soccer Supporters.
After meeting O'Connor and learning of his loyal support, the New England Revolutions made O'Connor an honorary Captain for the 6/2/12 Revs versus Chicago Fire game. It was a dream come true for the lifelong soccer fan and it was just the beginning of a developing relationship between Team O'Connor and the New England Revolution.
Along with a passion for soccer, Danny developed a love of boxing while growing up by spending every Friday evening in front of the TV set with his grandfather watching Friday Night Fights. This introduced him to boxing at a young age. O' Connor decided to start boxing at 16 years old at the Framingham Police Athletic League in Framingham, Massachusetts and once he laced up his first pair of boxing gloves he never put them down.
As a child growing up without cable television, Dannys' mother taught him how to sew. This skill he honed and later used in his early boxing career. O'Connor, "I make all my own outfits. When I was a kid, I didn't have cable and there wasn't much to do, so my mother taught me how to sew. I make all my outfits from scratch. I go to the fabric store and sew them up myself."
