After the victory, Brown said he didn’t expect the outcome. “I was surprised myself to be honest. I would not put money on myself doing that,” he smiled. “I’m happy with it, but I never go looking for it. That’s the difference. It just comes. I respect my opponent massively. Every old dog has tricks, don’t they, so you can’t underestimate him,” explained Brown. “The higher up you go you can’t just go in like a bulldozer. I know that. That’s what I’ve been working on in sparring. I know he’s a tricky customer. Once I got him hurt, I won’t let him off the hook.” Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn is high on Brown, and it was easy to see why based on the five minutes he spent in the ring. Hearn said his new name needs to be “Manchester’s Rocky Marciano,” calling him a “massive problem for every cruiserweight in the world.” Brown says at age 25, soon to be 26 in nine days, there’s no rush. “Listen, I’ll fight anyone, but that’s why I’m not calling anyone out,” trusting his team to decide who he’s ready to face. Brown was all smiles about his first experience fighting in the United States, but it was all about bringing his father with him. “I’ve reached the pinnacle of boxing, me and my dad. We’ve never been on a business flight together. He’s been smiling all week. He’s been working his bollocks off all his life for me and my two brothers. I brought my dad to America and he’s living the life. That means everything to me. I’m proud, I’ve reached the top of the sport already,” said Brown. Who doesn’t love him for it?
