Брант (22-0, 15 Нокаута), fighting out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, was the only American boxer selected to compete in the WBSS. Unlike Braehmer, обаче, Brant has moved up one weight class to participate in the WBSS tournament. He is the reigning North American Boxing Association (Също) шампион в средна категория.
“Braehmer is well accomplished and a proven boxer worldwide with star power in his own country,” the 27-year-old underdog Brant noted. “I have no problem going into his backyard for a fight, he is a seeded fighter in this tournament.
“I feel this is a pure crossroads fight containing a proven well-known fighter toward the end of his career against a hot prospect looking to make his name in the sport. I feel confident in winning this fight as does everybody in my training circle. After researching Schwerin, I am excited to compete in such a beautiful and historic city.
“Juergen has done it all, seen it all, but he hasn’t fought me. I am very confident that I will win в петък. I have to be sharp mentally, but I feel in better shape than ever in every way. I know it’s a cliché to say that, но в петък the crowd and the world will see what I am talking about.”
