Here is what Brewart Jr. had to say about his recent training camp, his 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 tough sparring, and now I’m in great shape. I’ve been working on being more active, throwing more punches each round, and keeping a better pace throughout each round. The work I put into this camp will show on fight night as I’m looking to get stop my opponent before the final bell rings.”

 

On how his career is going progressing:

“First off, 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 my name is starting to get attention in the middleweight division. I am fighting the toughest possible opponents I can, and this will be no different. I truly believe I am the best prospect in all of boxing based on my resume. This weekend I will prove it again."

 

On fighting back at home:

"I love putting on great shows in-front of all the fans who show up to cheer me on. It has been five fights since I knocked someone out, so it is long overdue that I stop someone. So, what better place than back at home to break the decision streak. The goal of this camp has been simple - be the best version of myself. After I win this fight, bigger fights will come, so I want to put on a show and make a statement. I have trained for this fight like it was a 12-round world title fight."

 

On his matchup with Joeshon James:

 

"He is a good fighter, but the type of opponents he has faced in the pros are nothing like what I have faced. He was a very good amateur, but I am a very good professional. That is a big difference, and Friday, Joeshon will see the difference in the ring."

 

On what a win will do for his career:

"I am looking to enter the top-15 of the world rankings with a win. I want to face the best guys in the world, and that is why I am facing the best talent possible. I am not turning down hard fights, and beyond that - I am 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."
