General
QUALIFYING FOR TOKYO
He lost in the quarterfinals of the 2021 European Qualifying Event in Paris, France, which meant he faced a 'win or bust' box off against Liridon Nuha of Sweden to secure a place at the 2020 Olympic Games. Brennan suffered a cut above his right eye in the first round but came through thanks to a decision from the judges. "I was just taking it as a normal fight, and trying to get into my head, 'I just have to get a win, it's only nine minutes away'. There was no point in dwelling on a loss, when I had to get ready for the biggest fight of my life. It was last chance, so I had no choice but to throw that out of the way."
