5’6″ Destiny “Lady Tyson” Day-Owens, 27 years old, is a professional female boxer out of Baltimore, Maryland. Destiny first competed as an amateur before turning pro in 2019.
Destiny told WBAN how she got the ring name of “Lady Tyson.” She said that she has that ring name because she has a killer instinct inside the ring with plenty of ‘dog’ in her!”
“I got a late start in boxing, at around 19 years old but I grinded hard to make up for lost time. Also being a mother of three, I basically had to raise my three daughters in the gym. My oldest two, Unique Day-Owens and Destiny Day-Owens Jr. are currently training for the silver gloves tournament,” added Destiny.
When Destiny was 15-1 in the amateurs, with only losing a very controversial decision, according to Destiny on her first fight, she told WBAN, “I dropped my opponent, but I never lost again that motivated me to go harder.
Destiny went on to win in the Golden Gloves three times after, and then decided to move on to become a professional boxer.
“I had more of a pro style so my trainer Mack Allison who is one of the original trainers of Gervonta Davis felt I was ready. I am currently 2-0 with 2 fights lined up in December 2022, where I will be on the women’s boxing series in Mexico, in March of 2023,” said Destiny.
Destiny made her pro debut on January 26, 2019, at the Waldorf Cultural Center, Waldorf, Maryland, as a super lightweight Destiny, 141 3/4, won a four-rounder by a split decision over Michaele Nogue, 137 3/4, pro debut, of Chesapeake, Virginia. Final judges scores were 37-39, 39-37, and 40-36.
In her second pro fight, she fought on November 16, 2019, defeating Dasha Ragland, at the La Fontaine Bleue, Glen Burnie, winning by a four-round unanimous decision, with final judges scores of 40-36 on all cards.
As far as her training schedule, she trains twice a day and is a USA Boxing Certified coach, as well as she helps the children in my community even after she retired.
Destiny said, “I’m also the owner of a moving hauling company to keep the bills paid while I chase my dreams.”
“I’m from Baltimore city and I am fighting for a better future for my family. I had to fight a lot growing up because its a rough city so I fell in love with boxing almost as soon as I stepped into a boxing gym. I will be a world champion by 2024,” added Destiny.
WBAN will continue Destiny’s “Destiny” in boxing and keep boxing fans updated on this up and coming boxer!
