After starting his fight career at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas with their boxing team, where he was a two time western regional champion and the 2006 national champion in the welterweight division, Daniel turned professional.
He was undefeated in seven professional bouts before an eye injury forced him into an early retirement in 2010.
Prior to USC, Reece prepped at Banning High School in Wilmington, California.
His father, Lloyd Reece, served on the USS Arizona during the bombing of Pearl Harbor and played professional baseball for the Kansas City Monarchs.
Reece played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers between 1976 and 1980, where he would score the first ever touchdown in franchise history on a fumble return.
