WBA regular heavyweight champion Trevor Brian (21-0, 15KO) will appear in Ohio next week against the unknown Jonathan Goodley (17-0-2, 10KO), run by famed promoter Don King, and also Brian's first comeback in a year.
Don King said: "It's going to be a great match, you're going to see two undefeated boxers coming together and that's what makes boxing great, neither boxer has tasted defeat, they've given boxing fans what they want. Boxers are my most important asset, and I want to give them back to my fans. The WBA more or less took us as 'hostages', they didn't mean it, but they did it according to the rules. Brian had been away from the field for a full year, and he was ready to strike immediately. ”
Brian's last match was last January, when he knocked out veteran former world boxer Berman Stevenne in 11 rounds. The battle against Stevenne was Brian's debut since August 2018, and he's had a low density of games over the years.
If Brian beats Goodry next week, then Don King, who is the promoter, hopes to run a bigger fight for Brian in 2022.
Don King said: "Brian has the spirit of a winner, but also has an unwavering spirit of dedication, the dream is about to come true, we all see him caring for others, caring for his family, it is the result of hard work and commitment, which is what Brian really wants, he is in the right place at the right time." ”
Don King continued: "Brian is willing to fight anyone, he is ready to fight anyone, he can take out all opponents in one night, I hope Brian can prove that the champion is the champion, we have to fight Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, fight for what the boxing fans want, we have a champion here, show the public that the champion is Brian and he will prove everything." ”
As a businessman, Tang Jin's clamor has not changed at all, it is nothing more than that his prestige has long been gone for many years, and his position in the field of promotion is somewhat embarrassing. Don King's praise for Brian is understandable, and it is not an easy task to try to confront anyone. Even if Brian is balanced by Goodery (which should be easily balanced), then he may meet the mandatory challenge of the Englishman Daniel Dubois, who is now ranked first in the WBA, and Brian must defeat Dubois in the future if he wants to play against Furi, Joshua, and Wild, but unfortunately, according to the difference in strength between the two, it is difficult for Brian to win, and if he loses to Dubois, then the confrontation with Furi, Joshua, Wilder and others will naturally be impossible to talk about.
