Darian Craig has neuroblastoma, a cancerous tumor that affects mostly infants — something she was diagnosed with as a small small child. Against all odds, she BEAT the 15% chance she had of surviving!
Sadly, that wasn't the only problem: she spent the next 14 years of her life in and out of emergency rooms battling Behcet's syndrome, a rare disorder that causes blood vessels to become inflamed! Not only did she have to have radiation treatments, but she had to have chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant as well. She is one HELL of a fighter.
She was then diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a rare blood and bone marrow failure disorder, after she had beaten everything else. She was going to need a lot of help to beat this, and they found the perfect match to do it — Evander Holyfield Jr.! You might know his dad, the boxer and champion?
YEAH!
Here's what Evander Jr. said:
Mike Tyson is a polarizing figure — if he isn't being given rave reviews for his one-man Broadway show, then his involvement in movies and advertising is being protested against because he's been convicted of sexual assault. The one thing that goes beyond doubt, though, is that he's taking his role as a father seriously.
We have seen nothing but love from him for his little ones. In a new interview, here's what he said about them and what he wants them to learn from his life:
Showtime sure knows how to throw a fight!
Well, not like 'throw' as in to 'lose' but as in to 'put on.' LOLz!
Last night, along with Mayweather Promotions, the official pre fight party before the Mayweather Vs Guerrero welterweight title bout was BUMPIN'!
The celebs were out and about: Don Cheadle, Beau Bridges, Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight, Ben Schwartz, Pooch Hall, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, C.S. Lee, Busta Rhymes and Zach Woods were all there — including others!
They were all on hand for the 12 round decision crowning Mayweather the welterweight world champion! Check out some of the photos (below)!
What a great night!

Hayden Panettiere sure knows how to look gorgeous at her man's boxing match!
On Saturday, the Nashville star hit up the SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany to watch her luscious on and off again love, Wladimir Klitschko take on challenger Francesco Pianeta, and considering that Klitschko was defending his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles, he made sure to put on a show.
Miz Panettiere sat on the sideline in a beautiful nude and black dress as she watched her beau fight, and even though she looked a little puzzled, she still put on a smile.
In the sixth round, Wladimir won the fight by KNOCKING OUT Pianeta, and we're certain the 23-year-old hottie went wild!!
Ch-ch-check out Hayden at the fight (above)!

What better way to relive your glory days than with super dramatic black and white photography! Ha!
Mike Tyson seems to be doing just that right now, as he decided it was high time to flashback!
Honestly, Mike was not have been the best kind of person back then, but nobody can argue that he wasn't in fantastic shape! You had to be, because if you notice the dude TOTALLY KNOCKED OUT you realize he's in fab shape too, and yet he still got wrecked!
Now also realize that Mike has been in both the Hangover movies so far — kinda puts it in perspective, right?? LOLz!

Say whaaaat?!?
Victor Ortiz hit up the Dancing with the Stars after party last night, and considering that he and his partner Lindsay Arnold garnered 23 points in DWTS' third episode, the boxer was feeling good about himself.
Ortiz was actually feeling soooo confident that he even told reporters that if Floyd Mayweather Jr. gave him a fight, he would knock him out.
Wowzers!
Those are fighting words right there, and we gotta admit, we would lovvvve to see Victor and Floyd fight.
Wouldn't U?!?
Peep the video (above)!

Chris Hemsworth is just too sexXy!!
The Thor actor and his muscles have been parading around El Lay lately, and as he busted through the door at the Box'N Burn Gym in Venice on Easter Sunday, we could see why Hemsworth likes to put on "gun shows."
Opening a door should be a simple everyday task, but when Chris does it, he likes to put force into it so his veins can pop out and his muscles can flex. LOLz
And because we really enjoy looking at his chiseled bod, we like that the actor keeps his physique toned with boxing!!
Don't U???
