Calvin Brock, former 2000 Olympian in the Sydney Games and current heavyweight contender moved his professional record to 23-0 over the weekend in Colorado, USA. Brock scored a second round stoppage of Wesley Martin. Brock is twenty-nine years old and hails from Charlotte, North Carolina in the USA. As his nickname of the 'Boxing banker' suggests, Brock has more alternatives to boxing at his disposal, including the balletic discipline of tapdancing, rather unlikely passtimes you would think for a heavyweight hopeful. If the weekend's action at Madison Square Gardens proved anything, it is that the heavyweight division is wide open for a fighter to come in and make a clean sweep of the titles; might Brock be one of the more likely contenders to do so?
