Early Life and Education

Professional Boxing Career (2004-2011)
Bradley's professional career began with a knockout victory against Francisco Martinez in August 2004. He continued his early streak with wins over Raul Nunez and Luis Medina. Bradley remained undefeated in 2005, clinching victories over Carlos Parra, Ramon Ortiz, Justo Almazan, Marcos Andre Rocha Costa, and Juan Yoani Cervantes. By September, he claimed the vacant WBC youth welterweight title against Francisco Rincon and successfully defended it twice. In 2006, Bradley won the vacant WBC youth light welterweight title by defeating Arturo Urena via TKO, keeping an undefeated streak through 2007.
Bradley's breakthrough came in May 2008 when José Luis Castillo failed to make weight, offering Bradley a title shot. He capitalized on the opportunity, defeating British boxer Junior Witter to win the WBC light welterweight title. Later in 2008, he retained the title in a bout against Edner Cherry. In 2009, Bradley unified the WBC and WBO light welterweight titles by defeating Kendall Holt. He successfully defended his titles against Lamont Peterson. In 2010, Bradley made his welterweight debut, beating Luis Abregu. Soon after, Bradley unified the WBO light welterweight title by defeating Devon Alexander. However, his refusal to fight Amir Khan led to a fallout with his promoter, Gary Shaw. Bradley's final significant bout in this period was a successful defense of his WBO title against Joel Casamayor in 2011.
