Early life

Brad Foster was born on 22 October 1997 in Walsall, England.[2] At the age of 9 he took up kickboxing.[3] After winning multiple kickboxing championships including British, European and world titles, he turned to boxing aged 18.[4]

Professional career

Foster made his professional debut on 5 December 2015, winning a four round points decision over Josh O'Donnell at the Town Hall in Dudley, West Midlands.[5]

In November 2016, he signed a three-year promotional contract with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.[6][7]

On 20 July 2018, He fought Leon Gower (6–0–0) for the vacant British Midlands Area super-bantamweight title at the Banks's Stadium in Walsall.[8] Foster won the title via eighth-round stoppage.[9]

His next fight came on 8 March 2019 against former British bantamweight champion Josh Wale (27–10–2) for the vacant British super-bantamweight title at the Barnsley Metrodome in Barnsley, Yorkshire.[10] Foster captured the British title by unanimous decision, with the scorecards reading 119–111, 117–112 and 117–111.[11]
