Detroit, MI, USA - Brandon Moore continued his climb through the heavyweight division Saturday night, earning a clear unanimous decision over former world title challenger Bryant Jennings at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

Moore (20-1, 10 KOs) swept the scorecards after ten rounds, winning by margins of 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92. Jennings falls to 27-5 (15 KOs).

The 6-foot-6 Moore used his size and reach effectively throughout the contest, working behind his jab and maintaining a considerably higher level of activity than the 41-year-old Jennings. The veteran appeared to be looking for opportunities to land something significant, but Moore largely controlled the fight from distance and prevented Jennings from establishing the kind of sustained pressure he needed.

It was Moore's sixth consecutive victory since suffering the only defeat of his professional career against Richard Torrez Jr. in May 2024. The 32-year-old Floridian entered the fight ranked No. 14 by the WBO and added the most experienced name of his career to his résumé.

For Jennings, the defeat halted a three-fight winning streak following his return to boxing after a five-year absence. The Philadelphia veteran had previously challenged Wladimir Klitschko for the unified heavyweight championship in 2015 and entered Saturday's fight hoping another victory could extend his unlikely late-career run.

Moore did not produce the statement stoppage that might have dramatically changed his position in the division, but the result represents another solid step forward. He has remained active, has now completed ten rounds against a seasoned former world title challenger, and continues to put distance between himself and the Torrez defeat.

The question now is how aggressively Moore's team chooses to move him.

At 20-1, another fight against a similarly positioned heavyweight—or a dangerous rising prospect—would provide a much clearer indication of how far Moore can progress in the division.
