Toen een van zijn vrienden werd neergeschoten en gedood 16, Devaun ‘Unique’ Lee wist dat hij een uitweg nodig had uit de gemene straten van Queens. Boksen houdt hem rechtop.

Philadelphia, PA (November 29, 2017) – They fought as amateurs, and are both considered among the best super middleweights in the city.

The eight-round bout is for the UBF All-Americas title.

The main event will pit Tyrone Brunson (25-6-2, 23 KO) tegen Manny Woods (16-6-1, 6 KO) van Sint-Petersburg, Florida in a junior middleweight bout scheduled for ten rounds.
“Training is geweldig. This has been the best camp that I have had since turning professional hands down,” zei Robinson.
Although this could be a breakthrough fight for 29 year-old Robinson, He has been looking at Brooker no different than any previous foe.
I look at every fight as a big fight. I see each fight as if I am fighting Canelo or Golovkin, so I get my self in the best shape I can be.
Being that they are in the same city, there is the aforementioned history between the two fighters.
We fought as amateurs, and I won that fight. Since the, we have sparred a couple times, and that has given me a great scouting report on him, and let’s just say I feel very comfortable going into this fight.
Fighting against another Philly fighter is nothing new for Robinson as he already has a victory over Lamont McLaughlin.
I have been through this, and these kind of fights bring out the best of me, and with a winop vrijdag, this will open up many doors for me that I never expected to be opened. I am looking for a complete performance, The fans will see power in both hands, craftiness, ring generalship and a huge heart. I just want to thank King’s Promotions, and I am looking to take home the UBF All-Americas Super Middleweight title.
For the 26 year-old Brooker, he has been here before but he wants to get back in the win column after losing to undefeated Light Heavyweight Ahmed Elbiali in a fight that he took on short notice on 18 juli.
I got right back in the gym after that fight. I been working for 12 weken. I have a new personal trainer Jermaine Clark and my new trainer Octavio Pineda,” said Brooker.
Brooker does not believe that the amateur loss to Robinson means anything going into Friday night.
Yea, it does not mean anything. It was my 3rd amateur fight. The sparring sessions were good. I treated them like I wanted to get some revenge for losing to him, and I am very confident after those sessions. This fight for me is about getting this belt . People will see me outwork him and outclass him.
Brooker has made his name throughout the boxing circles with his willing to fight and defeat anybody at anytime. That is evidenced by his wins over Leo Hall, John Magda, Antowyan Aikens and Gabriel Pham. Brooker also stepped up to face Elbiali, Ronald Gavril and Ronald Ellis, and he became a favorite on national television because of his tough as nails style.
Robinson is just another guy in front of me. I been in and defeated much more experienced fighters then him. He has not have anything that I have not seen in the ring. Ik kijk niet langs hem heen, Ik kijk door hem heen. I was beating Gavril before the fight was unjustly stopped. He went on to barely lose in a bid for a world title and now he is getting a rematch with him, so that just shows what level I am on. I want that rematch or (WBC kampioen) David Benevidez.
I appreciate King’s Boxing and I am honored to fight for another belt. I appreciate Brandon for signing the contract. Vrijdag night is a big fight for me, my family and all of my supporters.
