The Desert Storm will be inducted this summer as one of the headliners for the 2023 class.
Bradley (33-2-1), one of the toughest fighters of his generation, was a five-time world champion in two divisions.
When I came to the desert in 2015 @Timbradleyjr was THE guy. He was the biggest sports story in town. He was it. Here we are now, 7 years later, and he’s headed to the Hall of Fame. Congrats, Champ! It was a privilege to watch you compete and cover some of your career. pic.twitter.com/i03Q3FF1Qn

Known for his fights and rivalry with Manny Pacquiao, Bradley's only two losses of his career came from the Filipino superstar.
Bradley has been a boxing analyst with ESPN since 2016.
The Desert Storm had a hall of fame career in the ring but is now flourishing outside of it. @Timbradleyjr talks about working for @espn as a boxing analyst and how its allowed him to stay in the sport, which he loves. @KESQ @osunaespn @MarkKriegel @andreward @JoeTessESPN pic.twitter.com/3wG7qaNES6
