He was WBO light welterweight champion from April 2009 through June 2012 when the title was vacated. He then defeated Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight championship which he has held since June of 2012. A native of Cathedral City, CA Bradley now resides in Palm Springs, CA. Bradley is well known for his strict training standards and self-demands as he is on a strict vegan diet when preparing for a fight.
Bradley is trained by Joel Diaz who is world renowned as one of the top trainers in the fight game. Diaz was a well-known fighter in his own right as he lost an IBF lightweight championship bout to Phillip Holiday in a 12 round decision but he had to retire due to a damaged retina and has since taken up training.
Bradley’s win over Pacquiao was a highly controversial split decision which he realizes can only be validated with a decisive win in this upcoming bout.
