Timothy Bradley Ready To
Step In
Against Mayweather Or Pacquiao
Undefeated World Boxing Organization junior welterweight
champion TIMOTHY “Desert Storm” BRADLEY is ready to enlist
in a war against Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao
should their fight against each other fall through.
“Timothy is happy to defend his world title or move up to
welterweight to challenge Pacquiao or Mayweather should
their fight fall through,” stated Gary Shaw, Bradley’s
co-promoter with Thompson Boxing Promotions. “There isn’t an
active world champion who has been seen more on premium TV
than Timothy. Since the day he won his first world title he
has proven he is the goods. The shellacking he gave
undefeated interim champion Lamont Peterson earlier this
month proved Timothy is one of boxing’s elite fighters and a
Top-10 pound 4 pounder. He’s ready, willing and able to fill
the breach.”
“I’ll take any random test requested -- blood, urine, even
the SATs,” said Bradley. "My name is Timothy Bradley, not
Milton Bradley and I'm not playing games. I'm ready to fight
in March, April or May next year.”
Bradley (25-0, 11 KOs), from Palm Springs, Calif., captured
the World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight in 2008,
dethroning defending champion Junior Witter in England.
After successfully defending his title against Edner Cherry
later that year, Bradley unified the title by winning a
unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization junior
welterweight champion last April. Bradley’s most recent
victory was also his most impressive, taking the undefeated
WBO interim champion Peterson to school, winning a dominant
12-round unanimous decision with scores of 120-107, 119-108
and 118-110, which included Peterson hitting the canvas for
the first time in his 28-bout professional career.
