Brian Lamont McIntyre (born July 1, 1970), better known by his nickname "Bomac", is an American boxing trainer and former professional boxer. He is considered one of the best trainers in boxing. McIntyre is the enduring boxing coach of five-division and three-weight undisputed world champion Terence Crawford. He has also worked with Chris Eubank Jr and former world champions Amir Khan, Jamel Herring, Maurice Hooker, and Keyshawn Davis.
McIntyre grew up on the same street as Terence Crawford in Omaha, Nebraska and has known him his entire life. The pair initially trained under Midge Minor, before McIntyre recognized Crawford's talent and began guiding him himself.
McIntyre competed professionally from 1994 to 2007, spending most of his career as a heavyweight and finishing with a 7âÂÂ14 record (2 KOs). His most notable bout came in November 2004, when he went the four-round distance in a decision loss to Butterbean. After five consecutive knockout defeats, he retired to focus on coaching.
McIntyre has trained several world champions and other notable boxers, including:
McIntyre still resides in Omaha, Nebraska, and is married with a daughter. In October 2013, he co-founded B&B Sports Academy, a nonprofit gym dedicated to building the mind, body, and character of young people, particularly those at risk. It has since developed into a full-service multi-sport company with an emphasis on life skills. The academy provides tutoring, summer activities, and competitive travel opportunities for young athletes.
In September 2023, McIntyre was arrested in Manchester, England, after a firearm and ammunition were found in his luggage at the airport. He received a 20-month suspended sentence following two gun charges, but was subsequently released and free to travel home to the United States.
