# Brian Mendoza

Brian Marino Mendoza (born February 13, 1994) is an American professional boxer. Who held the WBC Interim Super-Welterweight World Title and The WBC Interim Light-Middleweight World Title.

## Professional career

Mendoza turned pro in 2014 and currently trains with legendary Cuban boxing trainer Ismael Salas.
After compiling a record of 20–2, he knocked former world titleholder Jeison Rosario on just 10 days notice. Mendoza followed up this upset victory with a stunning 7th round KO over previously undefeated Sebastian Fundora to win the WBC Interim Light Middleweight World Title. Though his success was short-lived. In his next match he lost to WBO junior middleweight champ Tim Tszyu, being stripped of his own title in the process.
In 2024, he took a fight at short notice against Serhii Bohachuk 23-1(23) for the vacant WBC interim junior middleweight championship, which was his old title. A fight he would lose by uninamous decision.
