Here’s what Brewart Jr. had to say about his recent training camp, matchup with Joeshon James, fighting at home and more.
On his recent training camp:
“A lot of hard work was put into this camp, a lot of hard fighting, and I’m in great shape now. I have been working on being more active, throwing more punches each round and keeping a better rhythm each round. The work I put into this camp will show on fight night as I am looking to stop my opponent before the final bell rings.”
On how his career is progressing:
“First of all, I want to thank Thompson Boxing for keeping me busy during the pandemic. This will be the third undefeated fighter I will face in my career, and I feel like my name is starting to get some attention in the middleweight division. I’m fighting the toughest opponents I can, and this will be no different. I truly believe that I am the best prospect in all of boxing based on my resume. This weekend I will prove it again.”
On the fight at home:
“I love putting on great shows in front of all the fans who show up to cheer me on. It’s been five fights since I’ve knocked someone out, so it’s been a long time since I stopped someone. So what better place than to come back.” at home to break the streak of decisions. The goal of this camp has been simple: to be the best version of myself. After I win this fight, there are bigger fights to come, so I want to put on a show and make a statement. I have trained for this fight as if it were a 12-round world title fight.”
On his confrontation with Joeshon James:
“He’s a good fighter, but the type of opponents he’s faced in the pros is nothing like what I’ve faced. He was a very good amateur, but I’m a very good professional. That’s a big difference, and on Friday, Joeshon will see the difference in the ring.”
On what a win will do for his career:
“I’m looking to break into the top 15 of the world rankings with a win. I want to face the best guys in the world, and that’s why I’m facing the best possible talent. I’m not turning down tough fights and beyond that, I’m winning these fights.” “A win here puts me one step closer to recognition and regional titles. I want both, but I really want a belt before 2023 is over.”
