בראַנט (22-0, 15 קאָס), fighting out of Saint Paul, מיננעסאָטאַ, was the only American boxer selected to compete in the WBSS. Unlike Braehmer, אָבער, Brant has moved up one weight class to participate in the WBSS tournament. He is the reigning North American Boxing Association (אויך) מידאַלווייט מייַסטער.
“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 אויף פרייטאג. 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, אָבער אויף פרייטאג the crowd and the world will see what I am talking about.”
The Braehmer-Brant winner will advance to the WBSS semifinals early next year for a world title shot against unbeaten Brit קאַללום “וועלט” סמיט (23-0, 17 קאָס), who last month won a 12-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Erik Skoglund (26-1, 12 קאָס), of Sweden, in their WBSS quarterfinals match.
