On June 29 , 2013 , O'Connor beat Hector Munoz by unanimous decision in an eight-round bout fought at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut . All three Judges scored the fight 79-73 in O'Connors ' favor . During this fight O'Connor put aside his normal Clan O'Connor boxing outfit and wore a custom-made outfit honoring the Boston Marathon bombing victims . " For this one , I 'm putting the Clan O'Connor gear aside and doing something for the city . I sat down with Rival Boxing , who makes all my gear , and I hit it home about what I wanted to represent with this . " O'Connor is quoted as saying , " The uniform included a jacket , shoes and trunks . It sports the Boston Marathon colors with the names of all the victims stitched into it , ' Boston Strong ' and Boston sports patches . " " Being from Boston , I was directly affected by the bombings — the whole community was , " O'Connor said . " I was on the Internet , sitting on my sofa for hours following the whole thing on the police scanner . I know so many people who could have been down there , it could have been anyone . I was trying to remember who told me they were going down to the finish line . " After the fight , O'Connor will be auctioning off the custom-made boxing outfit to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to the One Fund , a charity set up for the victims . O'Connor is quoted as saying , " This means a lot to me . It 's not like I 'm on a team playing 100 games , so , after this one fight , we 're going to auction everything with all proceeds going to The One Fund . It 's just my way of showing my appreciation for what these families have been through . ... Boston is tight-knit and this affected me and all Bostonians a lot . We 're Boston Strong ! " Danny O returned to the ring at Plymouth Memorial Hall in Plymouth , Ma with the Monster Brawl on Thursday October 30 , 2014 Live on Fox Sports 1 presented by Murphys Boxing . Danny improved to 24-2 ( 8ko 's ) with a 4th round stoppage of Virginia 's Andrew Farmer , 18-3 ( 7 ) . Farmer looked relaxed and confident entering the ring , despite the strong O'Connor crowd led by bagpipes and drums , but O'Connor 's southpaw style , sharp accurate jab , and thumping body shots seemed to have Farmer perplexed from the first round on . A right hook counter opened a stubborn cut over Farmer 's left eye in the third round , and the continued pressure by O'Connor , kept it open throughout the fight . A sharp uppercut to the body put Farmer down to one knee in the fourth , where he remained for the count.Since September 2017 Danny has been Sponsored by Michigan Aerospace Manufacturing company " Next Level Manufacturing " and light arms company " Next Level Armament " Both John Means and David Warner of Next Level believe in Danny and his quest for a World Championship ! In May 2017 Danny approached John Means about taking over as his Manager and John with Danny and Trainer AJ Thomas put together DO BOXING and when asked about his duties John said " If I get an offer ... or Danny and AJ bring something to the table we manage as we train As A Team .... So there are three voices and three ideas .... . I do the Business , Danny handles the wining and boxing and AJ traines and Teaches .... we tap Dave Warner from Next level and Ken Casey from Murphys Boxing For outside input to make the right choices " O'Connor originally had been slated to fight in the featured bout at Agganis Arena before giving up that spot on the NBC 's Premier Boxing Champions show to take on Paulie Malignaggi , at Brooklyn Barclays Center on the Amir Khan vs. Chris Algieri undercard .
