Standing at an imposing 6’6″ with a rare combination of elite athletic pedigree and tactical boxing acumen, Brandon “OJ Bam” Moore is one of the most prominent, fast-climbing contenders in the heavyweight division. Coming from a highly accomplished sporting family—his brother Shaq Moore is a prominent Major League Soccer player and U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team standout—Brandon originally made waves as a collegiate basketball star at Southeastern University, where he won The Sun Conference Freshman of the Year honors in 2013. Transitioning to combat sports at the age of 23, Moore built an exceptional amateur foundation, winning the 2019 USA Eastern Elite Qualifier and securing a spot as a top U.S. National Championship standout before turning professional in 2020.

 

Throughout his rapid rise, Moore sharpened his world-class skill set by serving as a primary sparring partner for elite world champions including Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Luis Ortiz. This invaluable gym experience translated directly into professional gold. Under a powerful promotional landscape with Top Rank and subsequently Salita Promotions, Moore captured the WBC USA Silver Heavyweight Title before working his way to the prestigious IBF USBA Heavyweight Championship in a chaotic battle against Skylar Lacy. Facing his lone career blemish against Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez Jr., Moore displayed true championship resilience by immediately launching a dominant win streak. He successfully defended his IBF USBA regional strap with a masterful, televised performance against undefeated Stanley Wright at Turning Stone Resort & Casino, followed by a dominant win over the heavy-hitting DeAndre Savage at the Fox Theater in Detroit. Currently holding the #15 world ranking by the WBO and securely cemented at #6 in the United States and #59 in the world by BoxRec, Moore’s physical tools, unique athletic background, and heavy right hand keep him on a collision course with the division’s absolute elite.
