Becoming a Heavyweight Champion

Trevor Bryan 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. This was because he did not have a valid visa.

Because Charr had not fought for a long time, the title was taken away from him. So, Bryan instead fought Bermane Stiverne for the empty title. Bryan showed his strength by knocking Stiverne down twice. He won the fight in the eleventh round by a "technical knockout" (TKO). This made Trevor Bryan the WBA (Regular) heavyweight champion.

Trevor Bryan defended his WBA (Regular) heavyweight title against Jonathan Guidry in January 2022. He won that fight by a "split decision" (SD), meaning the judges had different opinions but most agreed he won.

However, Bryan lost his championship title on June 11, 2022. He was defeated by Daniel Dubois by knockout (KO) in the fourth round. This fight took place at Casino Miami in Florida.
