DOMINIC “TROUBLE” BREAZEALE TAKES STEP UP IN COMPETITION

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 4, 2015) This Saturday evening marks a historic night as the sweet science returns to prime time network television on NBC after over thirty years.  Al Haymon’s “Premier Boxing Champions” series will make its debut in millions of homes across the country and is sure to reach casual fight fans and boxing aficionados. This is great for the sport as it presents a platform for viewers of all ages to become familiar with the sport of boxing and its future stars.

 

It is also a platform for professional fighters to become household names and have the public familiar with whom they are and their background. One such fighter is top U.S. heavyweight prospect, Dominic “Trouble” Breazeale (13-0, 12 KO’s).  Breazeale, now 29, was introduced to boxing at a relatively late age.  After playing quarterback for the University of Northern Colorado, Breazeale made a decision to leave the grid iron and enter the boxing ring in 2008.

 

Within three and a half years, Breazeale won numerous tournaments in the amateur ranks eventually landing him a spot on the 2012 United States Olympic Team competing in the Super Heavyweight division.  Several months later, Breazeale would sign with influential advisor Al Haymon and turn pro under the tutelage of former amateur star and professional heavyweight John Bray.

In his first nine bouts, Breazeale plowed through his opposition in four rounds or less including the dismantling of heavyweight veteran Lenroy Thomas.  In his tenth professional bout, Breazeale would go the distancefor the first time in his career against a tough veteran in Nagy Aguilera.  Although the bout would last all eight scheduled rounds, Breazeale showed he could box effectively peppering Aguilera at will with combinations of jabs, straight rights, left hooks and uppercuts. 

His next three bouts ended in familiar fashion with his opponents being stopped in three rounds or less.  It has been a great start to Breazeale’s career and he is learning everyday with trainer John Bray.  “I’m satisfied where I am right now in my career, but I know I still have a lot to improve on in order to be ready to become the heavyweight champion of the world.  I trust and believe in John’s ability to take me to that level.  John has been in camps with the likes of Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield and has been trained by legendary trainers as well.”

 

Breazeale returns to the ring this Saturday evening against his toughest opponent to date, Victor Bisbal (21-2, 15 KO’s), a 2004 Olympian from Puerto Rico.  The opportunity to fight in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena on NBC is a dream come true and the 2012 Olympian is ready for this

challenge.  “I am truly excited to be fighting this weekend on such a huge platform and I am looking forward to this challenge and making my name a household name.  I know Victor is coming prepared and I am definitely prepared as well. It’s going to be a great night of boxing for the fans”, said Breazeale.

 

Trainer John Bray is also excited for this opportunity as he knows this fight can take his pupil from prospect to contender.  “Victor Bisbal is a veteran and a very accomplished fighter as an Olympian with a record of 21-2 with 15 knockouts.  Dominic will have to be on his “A” game to shine and as his trainer I can tell you that he will be that and more.  By out-boxing and beating Bisbal in an impressive fashion, this will make the boxing world take notice that Dominic Breazeale is real and ready for bigger and better things.”
