Jesse Brinkley is one of the top super-middleweights in boxing today – and the only thing that is bigger than his punch, is his personality. He boasts an impressive record, is the current WBC USNBC super-middleweight champion and is rapidly being ranked higher and higher by several of boxing's sanctioning bodies. Brinkley earned international fame and attention after being a semifinalist in the first season of the boxing reality show and tournament The Contender on NBC. He is an old-school fighter. In the days where young prospects are turned into champions in only a few fights, Brinkley steps into the squared-circle as often as possible accumulating into over one-hundred seventy rounds of fighting. Along with that experience, he also has a reputation of taking tough fights. Brinkley is working toward, and looking forward to his shot at a world title.
