Jeremy Bryan’s handlers had high hopes for the accomplished amateur before he was stopped twice in 2010.
After that second defeat, a sixth-round technical knockout loss to rugged Ronald Cruz, Bryan took an extended break from boxing and wasn’t sure he’d even return to the ring. If the Paterson, N.J., native beats undefeated prospect Amir Imam on Friday night, however, Bryan will have rejuvenated his once-promising career.
Imam, of Albany, N.Y., is 8-0 and has knocked out seven of his opponents, but Bryan (16-2, 7 KOs) is by far the toughest foe of his brief, 17-month pro career.
