I'M DEZ CALLOWAY
"THE ANVIL"
9-1-0 professional bare-knuckle · Former MMA competitor
I don't back down, and I don't break. I built a career out of standing in the pocket when everyone else steps out of it.

People know the walkout. Here's what they don't see.
Before the lights, I spent years working trade jobs during the day and sparring in a converted warehouse at night. Bare-knuckle wasn't the plan. It's what stuck when everything else got complicated.
I'm not a loud guy outside the ring. I read fight film the way some people read the news, and I still write my own training logs by hand. The persona people see on fight night is one part of a longer story.
Three acts, one fighter.
Humble beginnings
Grew up near the old shipping docks, worked construction through my twenties, and boxed on weekends just to stay sharp. Nobody handed me a camp or a coach.
The rise
A regional MMA run built my name locally. When the sport's demands outgrew my body, I moved to bare-knuckle and found a style that finally fit how I actually fight.
Where I am now
Chasing a title shot while coaching the next wave of fighters coming up through my own gym. Still working the docks in the off season, out of habit more than need.
The Anvil Hour
A weekly conversation on fight prep, discipline and life after the cage, recorded straight from the gym floor.
