WBA Heavyweight Champion Trevor Bryan and his team did a lot of listening. When the former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes speaks, silence is golden. Bryan is getting ready to defend his WBA title against Daniel Dubois set for Saturday, June 11.
Bryan moved his camp from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Las Vegas and the former heavyweight champion came to town to work with Bryan.
“Trevor Bryan has got himself together,” said Holmes. “He’s kind of quiet and he doesn’t talk a lot. I’m the one with the big mouth. He did a lot of listening and I did the talking. He was willing to learn.
“All these guys are looking for that big punch for the knockout and the easy way out. You can’t beat them unless you take them out in the water and work them over. The jab did that for me and set up everything else.
“Bryan is a big guy and he’s got himself together. He is all business. He really impressed me.”
The 32-year-old Bryan, who sports a 22-0 record with 15 KOs, will be going up against the younger DuBois, at 24-years of age along with his 15-1 record and 14 KOs.
Bryan’s promoter, Don King, is planning to present another spectacular boxing card featuring six championship bouts to continue to promote peace and freedom for the people of Ukraine.
More people the better to make easier the job to carry Bryan out of the ring once Dubois flatten him
Wow 6 championship fights. I wonder if even 1 of them are for a “major” belt
This is great because Dubois is a measuring stick to determine if Bryan is a decent fighter or not.
BTW-How’s that “regular & interim” belt reduction coming along WBA? 3 year timeline? 5?, 7?
Larry Holmes simply giving praise to Bryan through Don King to promote the fight for revenue. Besides, Holmes owes Don a few favors since Holmes got rich for a while through Don King back in the heyday. Bryan simply a tool for Don’s one last hoorah in the management/promoter before Don sails off in the sunset for retirement. Plus, Holmes still recovering from that massive KO punch Tyson hit with from back in 1988. Yes, Holmes still cloudy in his judgment to this day. 🙂
How does this promote peace and freedom for the people of Ukraine?
Why is Dubois getting this “title “ shot and not the man who soundly beat him not too long ago?
This is what boxing has come to. Larry is a legend and an all time great but come on Larry.
