World ranked featherweight contender Joel Brunker (26-0, 15KOs) will aim to keep his undefeated record intact when he competes this Saturday on the undercard of the Gary Shaw Productions promoted HBO Boxing After Dark event that features an IBF middleweight title clash between Daniel Geale and Darren Barker.
The card is being held at the Revel Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the arena's first boxing event, making it a momentous occasion supported by a stellar card.
Brunker will square off against battle-tested Mike Oliver (25-4, 8 KOs) in a 10-round affair. Oliver's last two fights were losing efforts against Juan Manuel Lopez and Billy Dib, but the fact that he has been in the ring with quality opponents suggests that he will give Brunker a true barometer opportunity.
"It's all about getting better and preparing myself accordingly for each fight," said Brunker. "I feel like if I can make habits out of working hard and staying focused on the opponent in front of me then it will give me the best chance to make winning a constant occurrence."
"Mike isn't just my next opponent, I feel like he is a rite of passage and he'll have to pay for that. It's hard to keep a balance between what is business and what is personal, but I'm in the business of running through people standing in my way and if you take it personal then so be it," Brunker continued.
