Brandon Moore and Stanley Wright Collide June 6th

Verona, NY - Two American gladiators looking to stake their claim in the crowded heavyweight landscape will meet on Friday, June 6, as Brandon Moore 17-1 (10 KOs) takes on Stanley Wright 14-0 (11 KOs) in a 10-round bout for the vacant IBF USBA heavyweight title. The fight headlines a DAZN broadcast from the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York.

Opportunity on the Line

While this fight doesn’t feature any Top 30 names, it does showcase two ambitious prospects aiming to climb into the upper echelon of the heavyweight division. Both men are looking for credibility, exposure, and rankings, with the winner potentially positioning himself for fringe contender matchups in the near future.

Brandon Moore: A Second Chance to Prove Himself

Brandon Moore, a 6'6" southpaw from Lakeland, Florida, is no stranger to the spotlight. The 31-year-old entered the pros with high hopes and quickly racked up wins with smooth movement and rangy combinations. But Moore’s unbeaten streak came to a screeching halt in May 2024 when he was stopped in five rounds by 2020 Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez Jr. The loss exposed some flaws in Moore’s defensive positioning and resilience under pressure.

Now, Moore gets a chance to show that the Torrez fight was a learning experience, not a ceiling. This bout with Wright is pivotal: a second loss could signal a serious derailment of Moore’s career, while a convincing win would restore his path as a rising American prospect.

Stanley Wright: The Black Shogun Marches Forward

In contrast, Stanley Wright has flown under the radar for most of his career, but his breakout came in January 2025. Accepting a fight on just eight days’ notice, Wright shocked many observers by defeating previously unbeaten prospect Jeremiah Milton over 10 rounds. That win earned him serious respect among hardcore boxing followers, and now he finds himself in his first main event.

Wright, who fights out of Charlotte, North Carolina, has amassed a quiet but effective 14-0 record with 11 knockouts. Known as "The Black Shogun," he combines timing and composure with sneaky inside power. At 6’0", he gives up some height to Moore, but he’s shown the ability to fight smart and seize moments when his opponents falter.

Styles and Stakes

Moore will look to control the distance with his reach and southpaw stance, hoping to frustrate and pick off Wright with long shots. Wright, on the other hand, thrives on timing and has the edge in grit and recent momentum. If Moore can’t keep him off or fades late, Wright may be able to repeat his upset magic.

Both men are fighting for more than a belt. The IBF USBA title is often a springboard into international recognition and future opportunities. With the American heavyweight scene slowly opening up new spots due to retirements and rebuilding phases, a win here matters.
