Early Life and Starting Boxing
Trevor Bryan was born in Albany, New York, on August 23, 1989.
He started learning to box when he was 11 years old. He had a short but very promising amateur career, which means he boxed for fun and experience without getting paid. His trainer is Stacey McKinley, who also trained the famous boxer Mike Tyson. Trevor's boxing matches are promoted by Don King, a well-known boxing promoter.
Becoming a Professional Boxer
Trevor Bryan became a professional boxer in May 2011. In his very first professional fight, he won against Demarcus Young.
In August 2015, Trevor had a big win in Las Vegas, Nevada. He beat Derric Rossy and won the WBC-NABF Junior heavyweight title. This was an exciting fight that went all the way to the end.
Later, Trevor beat another boxer named BJ Flores. This win earned him the WBA interim heavyweight title. An "interim" title means it's a temporary title while the main champion is unavailable.
Winning and Losing the WBA Title
Trevor was supposed to fight Mahmoud Charr for the WBA (Regular) heavyweight title in January 2021. However, Charr could not travel to the United States for the fight because he did not have a valid visa.
Because Charr had not fought for a long time, the WBA decided he was "inactive" and took away his title. This meant the title became "vacant," or empty. Trevor then fought Bermane Stiverne for this vacant title. Trevor showed his strength by knocking Stiverne down twice. He won the fight in the eleventh round, becoming the WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion.
Trevor Bryan lost his title on June 11, 2022. He was defeated by Daniel Dubois by knockout in the fourth round. This fight took place in Florida.
