Probellum has announced the promotional signing of undefeated heavyweight contender Brandon Moore.
Moore (10-0, 6 knockouts) is the current WBC USNBC Silver champion, and extended his unbeaten run with a first round knockout win over Jesus Angel Nerio in Mexico on Saturday.
“Probellum is the natural fit for me. A new, fresh, innovative approach to the sport,” said Moore. “Their business plan fits what I’ve been looking for and I’m excited with their help that I can get to the top of the heavyweight division.
“With Keith Connolly & Ryan Rickey as my managers I feel like I’ve assembled the best team on the planet to take me to the next level. I can’t wait to show the boxing world what I have to offer, and I’m excited to get started.”
Co-managed by Keith Connolly and Ryan Rickey, 27-year-old Moore is a promising heavyweight prospect.
“Brandon Moore is a young charismatic athletic mobile heavyweight. This is the perfect opportunity and Probellum presents the perfect platform,” said Moore’s co-manager Keith Connolly. “Collectively we will look to pursue the biggest and best opportunities for Brandon.
“People can expect to see him in big fights in the next couple of years as he climbs the ranks in the heavyweight division. Harrison Whitman and I have had extensive talks about doing business together and Brandon is the first of many top flight fighters we will be work together with in the coming years.”
Standing at 6’6″, the talented southpaw from Florida was also a successful amateur, and has spent time working alongside former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder during training camps.
“We’re pleased to be working with Keith Connolly and Ryan Rickey to announce the promotional signing of Brandon Moore,” said Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum. “There are a lot of highly-rated prospects in the heavyweight division, and Brandon might well just be the best of them all.
“The heavyweight division is in a great place at the moment, and it’s going to be enjoyable seeing how Brandon’s career develops over the coming years alongside Probellum.”
Moore is Probellum’s latest promotional signing, following in the footsteps of former world champions Regis Prograis, Badou Jack and Ricky Burns, who have also joined the team.
“I see Probellum as the perfect partner to further Brandon’s career to the next level. Their leadership team have a rich history of success,” said Moore’s co-manager Ryan Rickey. “Also partnering with Keith Connolly as co-manager was a no-brainer.
“He’s always been extremely insightful and looked out for his own fighters best interests. Our core beliefs and ideologies are the same.
“This is the first fighter we officially will work with together and I know Brandon will be wildly successful. The synergies between the team align perfectly.”
