WBO Heavyweight Champion Lamon Brewster,
Unplugged
Interview by Juan C. Ayllon

Indianapolis, Ind. -- It's Friday after Thanksgiving, and World Boxing Organization heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster is fielding reporters' phone calls with the ease and aplomb of a man from humble means grown comfortably into his role as champ. A family man, his priority remains providing for his wife and children, honoring the God he serves, and inspiring the downtrodden, as he seeks to make the most of his fistic skills.
At 33-2 and with 29 knockouts, Brewster is the most exciting heavyweight champion in the world today, as witnessed by electrifying back-to-back stoppage victories against worthy challengers in hostile territory: versus transplanted Pole Andrew Golota at Chicago's United Center last May, and against German Luan Krasniqi in Hamburg's Color Line Arena in September. The latter occurred on what would have been Germany's revered national hero Max Schmeling's 100th birthday.
