Coming off his sensational knockout victory on ShoBox on January 22nd against DeCarlo Perez, young middleweight contender Rob 'Bravo' Brant will be coming back for a tune-up bout on April 15th in Minnesota.

For Brant this will be a homecoming of sorts.

"It's going to be at the Grand Casino in Hinkley (Minnesota) and I'll be headlining at my home casino,"he explained to BoxingScene.com."It's where I started building my professional record so I'm really excited about it."

Brant was very active last year. He saw action five times in 2015 - with stoppage wins over Ryan Davis, Dionisio MIranda, Ernesto Berrospe, and Lekan Byfield. He then won a ten round majority decision over Louis Rose in October, before coming back in January to get the bin win over Decarlo.
