WBA heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) is getting a lesson in camp from none other than the Easton Assassin, former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes, as he prepares to defend his title against Daniel Dubois (15-1, 14 KOs) on Saturday, June 11 at a site to be determined. Bryan has taken a change of scenery as well as he has moved his camp from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
Bryan’s promoter, Don King, is planning to present another spectacular boxing card featuring six championship bouts with the theme of promoting peace and freedom for the people of Ukraine.
Can’t be a horrible idea. He cannot possibly be in worse shape than he’s been in for his last two fights. It’s impossible.
Wait… you think that moving his camp to the BUFFET CAPITAL OF THE WORLD is a good thing for him to stay in shape?
Only if that shape is “pear.”
Sumo shape
I think Jenny Craig should be brought into his team.
“Bryan’s promoter, Don King, is planning to present another spectacular boxing card” haha.. when was the last time he did that
197…
His last show was quite good. Bryan vs Guidry turned into a real life Rocky and the WBC Cruiser title was an excellent fight.
Surprising; seeing that Larry Holmes who was Don’s first world champ and who got savagely robbed, threatened, sued by him is now training one of his fighters. Poor Larry must be losing his marbles.
Hard to believe that this fight which takes place June 11, is also the 40 year anniversary of Holmes vs Cooney.
Amazing! Where did all the years go…
Not matter where Bryan moves his training camp, Dubois will flatten him anyway and in short period of time
Maybe Holmes can reduce this guys weight by 30 pounds. And get him into good enough shape to have a real fight?
WBA Champion… I think not.
What does Bryan “is getting a lesson in camp” from Holmes mean? Does not sound like Holmes is going to train Bryan. More like Holmes is going to have a talk with and maybe demonstrate to Bryan a couple of techniques.
This whole article sounds like a subtle Don King promotional ploy. I think the only reason Larry Holmes name is mentioned in the article is to give this fight some legitimacy and recognition. I didn’t even know this fight was happening. Common wisdom says Dubois is going to take this, but Dubois punches and moves slower than molasses. Bryan kinda surprised me with his skill set when he won the title vs. Stiverne. I saw the replay expexcting comedy, but was surprised to see an actual boxer with good handspeed, defense, footwork and the abitlity to throw multi punch combinations.
Kris Pissedofferson: Yes, Bryan, as sloppy looking his physique is, he is effective. If Bryan does not get caught early while Dubois is still fresh, Dubois could get dragged into a very difficult fight.
Another moronic title that means diddlysquat to anyone who follows boxing, the WBA has degenerated from the days of Ali to being the laughing stock of all the sanctioning bodies of today. Calling Byron a champion is a joke, as they already have Usyk as their super champion and Byron as their regular champion. Even at that, why is Dubois rated above Joe Joyce who knocked out Dubois not that long ago? WBA ratings are totally worthless.
“WBA heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs)”
– I stopped reading the article after this sentence.
Oh yeah, I forgot about this garbage champion. He’s not even top ten in any sort of untainted rankings at HW.
Absolutely 0 chance this fight happens. Don is a FRAUD ,, Fake bid to stall the WBA. Same games as always. He has no network, not happening. What a waste of peoples time. Dubois is going to go crazy. He will train and they will pull the plug a few weeks before fight.
Bryan is a “champion” all because Don King’s corruptive ways and influences on the inside. Yep, no doubt. King’s era is coming to an end, so he went right to the weasels who would grant privileges to Don to make money off Bryan. Money and favors talk.
King hired the Easton Assassin to finally teach Bryan how to box. Good luck!
