Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley Jr., the former two-division world titleholder best known for his controversial 2012 split decision win over Manny Pacquiao, agreed to a new multiyear contract extension with ESPN to continue serving as a boxing analyst for Top Rank on ESPN, alongside Joe Tessitore and Mark Kriegel.
The move is yet another sign that ESPN is making a serious push into the boxing world, as they continue to promote elite fighters like Vasyl Lomachenko and Terence Crawford both on television and on their new streaming service ESPN+.
In a press release, Bradley noted both his connections with Top Rank and ESPN’s commitment to boxing, saying “Bob Arum, Todd DuBoef and Top Rank were instrumental in helping make my career a legacy and have now joined forces with ESPN to create the best boxing platform available.
