About Damon Feldman

Damon Feldman is a businessman, boxing promoter, producer, and author of the book, "16 Minute Man”. He’s founder and CEO of Official Celebrity Boxing.

Feldman promoted his first celebrity boxing match in 1997 with two Philadelphia locals, Diego Ramos, a radio disc jockey, vs John Bolaris, a weatherman. He continued to build the brand with a variety of matches, pairing local and national celebrities in the ring. In 2002, Feldman was instrumental in bringing Celebrity Boxing to the Fox network, which aired two hour-long episodes. The first episode included Paula Jones vs Tonya Harding.

Feldman founded Official Celebrity Boxing (OCB) in 2003. Celebrities use his platform to get back in the spotlight. The OCB roster includes Riddick Bowe, Caitlyn Jenner, Lamar Odom, to name a few. And OCB Honorary Champs include Jamie Foxx, Wendy Williams, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and more. As Feldman told the New York Post, “If you had 15 minutes of fame, I'll give you the 16th”, which inspired his nickname, "The 16-Minute Man".

He’s gained a national media presence, appearing multiple times on The Howard Stern Show, CNN, TMZ, and the Daily Mail, and his events receive worldwide news coverage.

He’s taken OCB national with matches in Miami, Atlantic City, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He’s also producing “Battle in the Metaverse,” a match featuring Roy Jones Jr. and NDL Champ.

Damon was born to professional middle-weight boxer, boxing trainer, and Pennsylvania Boxing Hall of Famer, Martin “Marty,” and Dawn Feldman, in Broomall.

He started boxing at the age of five under the training of his father. At age thirteen, he was featured in the August 1983 edition of Sports Illustrated. Within the feature, he was recognized for scoring a second-round knockout to win the Philadelphia Junior Olympic boxing title, in the 13-and-under category.

By the age of nineteen, Feldman became a professional boxer. By 1992, Feldman was undefeated, with four knockouts and earned the nickname "Jewish Rocky". However, in 1994, Feldman sustained a career-ending neck injury, and shortly thereafter, he became a fight promoter.
