Phil D. Jay  WBN Editor Former Contender champion ending busy year with title defence NABF light-middleweight champion Grady ‘Bad Boy’ Brewer will defend his belt for the first time on December 22 nd against US-based Mexican Michael Medina at the Cox Convention Centre in Oklahoma City. The 40 year-old, who suffered his 13 th career defeat in 41 bout last time out against Demetrius Andrade, puts his title on the line for the first time since he picked up the vacant strap with a surprise stoppage of previously unbeaten Fernando Guerrero in June.
