The immensely talented new sensation Joseph Brown will be competing in the squared circle for the third time this year. Saturday night on the Swift Promotions Tale of Garcia 4 fight card, Brown’s plan is to show his skills, make a definitive statement, and pick up win number four.
Nicknamed “The Prodigy”, Joseph Brown was born in Vero Beach, Florida, and shortly after, his family moved north to Canada. At the age of 6, Brown’s father began to train him in various combat sports. As an amateur boxer, Joseph Brown scored the second fastest knockout in amateur boxing history.
The world record for the fastest amateur boxing is held by Mike Tyson, as he stopped his opponent in 8 seconds. Joseph Brown stopped his opponent in 10 seconds. During an interview with the Empire Boxing Productions podcast, Brown talked about his historic 10-second stoppage victory.
“I just remember I threw like a double jab and I took a step back, and he came up, and I threw a check hook, and then like, he picked it up, he wobbled from it, and that’s when I jumped on him until the referee came and stopped him.”
Joseph Brown’s father, Martin Brown, has been his head coach since day one. Martin had a couple of dreams that eventually became his reality. In Joseph Brown’s documentary series The Prodigy-Episode 1: Manifested, Martin Brown talked about the pair of dreams he had.
“I had a dream when Joseph was seven years old that Floyd was going to sign him one day, and in the dream, I saw a ten-year span.” Martin said: “When I was 10 years old, I had another dream that Jeff Mayweather was going to train him.”
When his son was 13, Martin decided to reach out to Jeff Mayweather via social media. They talked, and Martin proceeded to send Jeff boxing footage of his son. A few months later, Joseph Brown traveled to Las Vegas to train with Jeff Mayweather.
Brown started fighting for the Mayweather Boxing Club as an amateur and won two national titles. Joseph Brown had a legendary amateur career as his overall combat sports record was 67-0. Between boxing and kickboxing, he won a total of six national titles and won a world championship in Muay Thai.
Initially, Joseph Brown planned to participate in the Olympics, but when he found out that the minimum age for competition was raised to 19, he decided to turn pro. Brown signed with Mayweather Promotions, and at the age of 17, made his debut in October 2023.
6’2″ junior-middleweight Joseph Brown has entered the ring three times and won all three fights by KO. Brown is a well-rounded fighter who is composed, has ring intelligence, good placement of punch, knows how to control the distance, and has good punching power.
Today 18-year-old Joseph Brown is a talented but humble boxer who does not use the art of trash talking. Brown has this quiet kind of confidence, and instead of being vocal, he prefers to let his hands do all the talking.
When it comes to career accomplishments and leaving a legacy, Brown has set high goals for himself. He wants to box for about ten years, and during the course of those ten years I believe he should be able to win several world titles.
When his planned time as a boxer expires, Brown wants to switch to MMA and win a world title. If successful, Joseph Brown will be the first male to accomplish this feat. Female boxer Holly Holm won the WBA welterweight title in 2006, and then nine years later, crossed over to MMA and won the UFC bantamweight title.
Joseph Brown is a young and ambitious talent who believes that his combat sports career will be classified as historic. He will continue to build the foundation for his pursuit of greatness on Saturday night at Tale of Garcia 4.
