Professional career

Daniels turned pro in 1984 and in 1989 he captured the vacant WBA cruiserweight title by defeating a badly faded 36-year-old Dwight Muhammad Qawi in France. He defended the title twice before losing the title to Bobby Czyz in 1991 in a close split decision in Atlantic City. He continued to fight as both a cruiserweight and heavyweight through 1997. In his highest profile fights as a heavyweight, he lost to Lawrence Clay-Bey and David Tua.

Robert Daniels was managed by Michael Frost, the boxing manager and former marketing agent for Gary Sheffield, Jeff Conine, Robb Nenn, Bret Barberie, and others.
