Professional career

Known as "Choo-Choo" Brown, Brown turned pro in 1979 and captured the vacant newly created IBF lightweight title with a decision win over Melvin Paul in 1984. He lost the belt in his first defense to Harry Arroyo the same year, in a bout refereed by International Boxing Hall of Fame member Larry Hazzard. Brown never fought for another major title and retired after 11 consecutive losses in 1993, including losses to Tyrone Crawley, Loreto Garza, Cornelius Boza-Edwards, and José Luis Ramírez.
