"I feel like I am back on track and ready to great things."
"I want to thank my manager Mark Cipparone and Club 1957 Management and my promoter Russell Peltz.", finished Dawejko
"I am excited not only about the win but how Joey has set himself up each time to get those amazing 1rd KO's. I believe that when a fighter with talent such as Joey decides to truly do what it takes and put his boxing career above all amazing things seem to happen! That being said I am extra proud to be a part of his team as every piece of this has been coming together rather seamlessly. So hats off to head Coach Billy Briscoe, strength trainer Jermaine Clarke and Joey's brother Walt for they too have contributed to this great victory!", said Mark Cipparone of Club 1957 Management.
