In the professional and often tense world of boxing press conferences, surprises are few and far between. However, on the eve of the anticipated showdown between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius, an unexpected figure emerged to steal the spotlight. This figure was none other than boxer Brandon Scott who came out wearing the iconic red and blue of Spider-Man, leaving fans and pundits alike both bewildered and amused.

In the press conference, Scott confidently introduced himself as a “scrawny nerd”. This was a playful nod to the superhero he had chosen to embody for the moment. However, it was not just Scott’s theatrics on that day which captured attention. While his Spider-Man interlude was a departure from the norm, it was Scott’s subsequent entrance on the night of his fight against Norman that truly cemented his reputation as an entertainer.
