....I work at a call center, (in Pennsylvania) and I work with ex super middleweight champ Charles Brewer!! Go figure! He's cool as hell and very approachable too.
Charles Brewer had a career in the I.T. world back when he was an up n' comer. Instead of feeling sorry for him, you should be happy to hear the dude has something to fall back on- as opposed to most boxers who are lost when their fighting days are over. Also as opposed to everyone on here who have typical jobs/careers without ever having been world champion boxers!
I remember him best for his fight on the Lewis - Briggs undercard vs Herol Graham. He broke afew English hearts that night because Herol came so close and had scored two knockdowns over Brewer but just when Charles looked like he was finally gonna to be stopped, he caught Herol on the ropes and suddenly he unloaded a barrage of hooks and the ref stepped in. Fair stoppage but gutting because Herol came so close but the Hatchet showed the heart of a champ that night. Getting up off the canvas twice in the 3rd round.
He looked great when winning the IBF title from that South African and went 12 with prime Calzaghe.
Its all good, I roll with the punches lol. Anyway I'll definitely let him know. I'm trying to get some autographed pictures from him. He already gave out a few to my co worker.
I remember his first fight with Sven Ottke when he got robbed. Cause there is no way in the world Ottke won this fight. I scored it clearly for Brewer, I dont remember the rematch though. Brewer had a very long, hard jab
thats cool, the man used to be a staple on tuesday night fights, and you knew everytime the hatchet was going to bring it! and i think even when he was still fighting he was working in some kind of office

Yeah sorry that wasnt meant to be a dig at anyone who works in calls centres. It came across wrong. What I meant was for a former world champ and famous boxer its abit of a comedown. Aslong as he is happy though.
Tell him to join facebook. I use to love his fights.
Hey, I work at the call center!!! LOL Everyone has to make a living you know. As long as he's happy. But he should've had some money from all the fights he's been in though. :\
