Template:Short description Brian Brunette is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1980 to 1986, challenging for the WBA light welterweight title in 1986.

Professional career

Brunette made his professional debut on July 7, 1980, with a 2nd-round knockout of Wayne Grant on the undercard of the Larry Holmes-Scott LeDoux match at Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Brunette won his first 23 fights, 17 of them by knockout.[1]

On September 6, 1986, Brunette squared off against undefeated champion Patrizio Oliva in Campania, Italy for Oliva's WBA light welterweight title. Brunette lost via third-round technical knockout (TKO) in a scheduled fifteen round bout, when his manager threw in a towel to stop the bout.

Brian was managed and trained by his brothers and father.

Three months later Brunette returned to the ring for one last fight, defeating middleweight Billy Travers by 5th-round TKO. It was his final professional fight, as he retired at the age of 28 after sustaining an eye injury while preparing for a match in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1987. His record at the time of retirement was 24-1, with 18 wins coming by knockout.[2]

He was managed by his brother Tommy and trained by his brother, Bob.[1]
