Lamon Brewster
"Relentless" Lamon Tajuan Brewster is an American heavyweight boxer, and the current world champion as recognized by the World Boxing Organization. His record as of April 2004 consisted of 30 wins (27 by knockout) and 2 defeats (to Clifford Etienne and Charles Shufford , respectively).
On February 2, 2002, Brewster knocked out Nate Jones to win the North American Boxing Organization title, placing him as a mandatory challenge for the WBO world championship. In October 2003, WBO champion Corrie Sanders relinquished the title rather than face Brewster, setting the stage for Brewster to face highly-regarded former WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko.
On April 10, 2004, Brewster knocked out Klitschko in the fifth round to win the vacant WBO world heavyweight belt. He has, to date, not made a defense of the title.
