Who’s next for Sean Brady?
The win against Chiesa is the biggest in Brady’s career yet. He was 14-0 but didn’t have a big win to his name. A win like this should work as a stepping stone to push him to the next level. At the post-fight press conference after his last fight, Brady was asked if he had anybody in his mind for his next fight.
He said, “I think the winner of Belal and ‘Wonderboy’ would be fun. I don’t know what they’re both ranked, but I know they’re in the top 10. I know the rankings come out on Tuesday. I’m sure I’m going to land somewhere in the top 10. Then yeah, we can go from there.”
