Janaya (Jai) Davis is a natural born athlete from Chicago, Illinois. Jai developed a passion for sports at a very young age. Jai involved herself in a variety of sports to include swimming, track and field, gymnastics, and basketball. Described as extraordinary, these opportunities instilled self-confidence and taught her the value of discipline and teamwork.  Wanting to push her athletic abilities even further and stay in shape, Jai turned to boxing and fell in love immediately.  Committed to understanding the art of boxing, and with training from Johnny Gant, Jai progressed and developed into a collegiate level athlete.  She quickly became someone to watch, becoming a rising star in the boxing world.  She began training with the USA boxing team and later began traveling around the world representing the United States of America as the #1 ranked female amateur boxer.

 

On a professional level, Jai sparred and collaborated with some of the biggest names in professional boxing to include Laila Ali, Vernon Forrest and Robert Allen.  She ended her professional boxing career ranked #4 in the world and Golden Glove Champion.

 

In the last 20 years, her hard work and dedication as a Firefighter and Paramedic in Georgia earned her numerous accolades and awards.  Jai selflessly risked her life rescuing a fellow firefighter, severely hurting herself. Due to the seriousness of her injuries, Jai mentally prepared herself for one of the biggest fights of her life. Without surgery she would not be able to walk due to her spinal canal being completely compressed. Despite the gloomy reports from doctors about her recovery and constant back pain, Jai persevered and regain strength and flexibility in her legs and spine. With determination and family support, she miraculously recovered from her injuries. Jai’s wellness journey inspired the birth of two new passions, “Body By Jai” and “Jai Fit Academy”.
