Brian Collette Dreams To Be The 'Floyd Mayweather' Of Kickboxing Someday
The sole representative of the US flag at the upcoming light heavyweight tournament at the GLORY 18 "Return to GLORY" on Friday, Brian Collette dreams of becoming the Floyd Mayweather of kickboxing someday. The No. 8-ranked fighter claimed that it is his goal to be watched and known at a national level.
As his game plan for his upcoming fight with the "Black Warrior," the 27-year-old revealed that he is just going to stay on his toes and move a lot.
"He is not someone you want to stand in front of," Collette said according to mmamania. "So I am just going to go in there and work our game plan and stick to my coaches and everything will be alright."
Brian Collette's fight on Friday that will be aired on Spike TV will be the biggest exposure in his career. Although, the undefeated American boxer is almost incomparable to anybody, Collete's win on the tournament will make him $100,000 richer.
Collette who recently knocked out Warren Thompson at GLORY 12 plans to showcase his talent and display his skills on national television with everyone watching him. He is positive that it will be a great show and people will enjoy it.
Thus far, Collette has his family, winning the GLORY 18 and fighting for the GLORY light heavyweight title as his priorities. He is trying to balance his full-time job and fighting at the same time. The GLORY 18 will be on November 7 at the Grand Resort Hotel Casino in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The main event will feature the lightweight champion Davit Kiria against Robin van Roosmalen, which promises to be a battle but all eyes will be on the four-man tournament. The world's leading kickboxing promotion puts on a light heavyweight contender tournament with four of the best in the division and the winner will face the current GLORY light heavyweight champion Gokhan Saki. To join the ranked 8 Brian Collete are the no.1 Danyo Ilunga, no. 6 Artem Vahkitov, no. 3 Saulo Cavalari and no. 11 Zach Mwekessa.
