When current WBO heavyweight champion “Relentless” Lamon Brewster won his belt in a fight for the vacant title against Wladimir Klitschko eighteen months ago, I remained unconvinced about this virtually unknown fighter.
But after exciting knockout wins over Andrew Golota and, most recently, Germany’s Luan Krasniqi, I’m now wondering if Lamon Brewster is America’s only current champion with any hope of converting all four pieces of the heavyweight crown into an undisputed one and keeping it in America.
Lamon Brewster (33-2, 29 KOs) was born in Indianapolis, IN on June 5, 1973. Born the eldest of four children, Brewster idolized martial arts legend Bruce Lee and seemed to have a penchant for destroying his mother’s house. When he one day decided to karate-chop his birthday present drum kit into oblivion, his mother took him to the Riverside Gym in hopes of seeing him unleash his aggression in a more positive and less expensive manner.
