His first and only professional setback came via an eight-round split decision loss to current WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Badou Jack in a 2012 fight that many ringside observers thought Brand had won. اس جنگ کے بعد سے, برانڈ پرواز رنگوں کے ساتھ ہر رنگ ٹیسٹ گزر چکا ہے, notching eight consecutive victories. ان کی آخری مککیبازی میں, Brand faced the sternest test of his career since the Jack fight when he fought a favored, undefeated and highly touted light heavyweight Medzhid Bektemirov on December 5, 2015 at Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, فلوریڈا.
