Former Commonwealth welterweight challenger Jack “Gelignite” Brubaker (13-3-1, 7 KOs) will clash with Englishman Tyrone Nurse (35-3-2, 7 KOs) over twelve rounds in a Commonwealth final eliminator in Johnny Lewis Boxing Series at the Star Casino in Sydney, New South Wales Australia on Thursday.
Nurse is coming off a twelve round points loss to WBO #4 Jack Catterall in a British super lightweight title bout in 2017. Sydney-based Brubaker suffered a cut eye six round technical decision loss to Kris George in a Commonwealth welterweight title bout in 2017. Brubaker’s best win was in Japan in 2016 defeating Suyon Takayama to capture the Orient and Pacific Boxing Federation title.
