Australian Top Heavyweight and Uncrowned Champion Lucas Browne Volunteers for WBC Clean Boxing Program

Пакінуць каментар
Former WBA World Heavyweight Champion Lucas Big Daddy” Browne of Australia is upping the ante in his quest to clear his name and regain his championship by voluntarily enrolling in the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program.
The hard-punching Browne (24-0, 21 КО) stopped Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Chagaev in round 10 last March in Grozny, Расія, to become Australia’s first-ever heavyweight champion. The dramatic victory, аднак, was nullified and Browne’s championship was stripped away and returned to Chagaev, пасля бою, after he reportedly tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol.
Браўн, who tested completely clean in a random drug test by VADA six days before the fight against Chagaev, staunchly maintains his innocence of purposefully taking any banned substance ever, and says he is taking steps to ensure he is never again accused of cheating.
“I’m proud to announce that I am now part of the Clean Boxing Program, which is being run by the WBC and VADA,” Саід Браўн. “By voluntarily enrolling in this program I am able to be randomly tested at any time, 365 days of the year.”
Браўн, who was the one who insisted that VADA perform drug testing before the Chagaev fight, says the decision to join the program was an easy one to make. “I have absolutely no issues with this, as I am a clean athlete and I believe boxing needs this kind of regulation. I welcome this aspect of safety for the sport of boxing. I despise all drugs, whether they be performance-enhancing or recreational.”
Browne’s manager, Matt Clark, says that by becoming Australia’s first fighter to volunteer for the program, his fighter will hopefully start a trend.
“Lucas is Australia’s premier boxer and resents drugs of any kind,” сказаў Кларк. “We hope that other fighters from around the world join Lucas and sign up for the program. Anything that makes boxing safer is a good thing.”
Browne and Clark say they are still fighting “tooth and nail” to clear his name and thank the public for the tremendous support they have received, worldwide.
“Having always been a clean athlete, I am totally opposed to any form of doping,” Browne concluded. “I’ve always felt that cheaters in professional boxing should be banned for life. З 21 KOs in my 21 перамогі, I’m of the same opinion as (current WBC World Heavyweight Champion) Deontay Уайлдэр: If I was ever to use PED drugs, I might end up killing someone!”

Undefeated Lucas Browne to Collide with Ruslan Chagaev for the WBA World Heavyweight Title LIVE У гэтую суботу on AWE at 2 PM ET

Сан - Дыега, ТАКОЙ ЯК – Сакавіка 3, 2016 – Гэта Субота пасля паўдня, March 5th, undefeated and number-two ranked WBA heavyweight contender Лукас “Big Daddy” Браўн(23-0-0) will battle defending WBA World Heavyweight champ Ruslan Chagaev (34-2-1) за яго пояса. The bout will be broadcast У прамым эфіры in the United States on AWE – Багацце забаў.
The action begins live at 2 PM ET / 11 М. РТ.
Browne is promoted by former two-division world champion and British Idol, Рыкі Хатан and the Manchester great has a lot on the line у гэтую суботу if Browne can come through with the victory.
“It would be massive for my company, very significant,”said Hatton. “Lucas would be my first world champion as a promoter, and it’s fantastic that it would be a Heavyweight title. I was a two-time world champion as a fighter. I have trained a world champion, so I don’t know many people who have done all three as a trainer, fighter and a promoter. “
To have Browne in this position, the fighter turned promoter, is thrilled for his fighter, being that Browne was not sought after in his early career.
“I am very happy for Lucas. He came up the hard way. He was not an Olympian. На самай справе, it was just a few years ago, that he was working doors at the night clubs and he has put in the hard work and this is a big night for me and my company.”
Despite the fight being in enemy territory, “Hitman”, feels his fighter is in good hands as Browne is being trained by former super middleweight world champion and British great, Nigel Benn.
“He has a great team behind him. An excellent trainer. It is going to be a tough job, but I firmly believe that he will win the fight. It will be difficult as Chagaev was a big amateur and now a world champion. Lucas who has always been known as a puncher is moving a lot better on his feet. Very fluid. Lucas has also added speed and has had great preparation.”
Being in enemy territory, Hatton knows that the fight may come down to the judges, and he believes that Browne will get a fair shake.
“I would like to think that Lucas will not need a knockout to win, but judges can be swayed by the hometown fans, but this being a world title fight, I expect world class judges. Гэта, як гаворыцца, Lucas should not leave it to chance.”
With a Browne win, there is a chance a good portion heavyweight division would run through the United Kingdom as Unified champion Tyson Fury and potentially Anthony Joshua (who fights IBF champion Charles Martin on Красавіка 9) would hold most of the hardware in boxing’s glamour division.
“I thought about that. I get along well with Eddie Hearn, who has Joshua. I get a long great with my former promoter Frank Warren and you can also throw David Haye in there who is back. I can’t see any problems making fights with Joshua or Fury and we would have some massive heavyweights fights here. Lucas has fought five times here and has a good fan base.”
“The only thing that I am gutted about у суботу is that I can’t be there with Lucas when he wins as I train a lot of young fighters and I have four of them fighting у суботу and they need me in London with them, але Субота will be a great day for my company.”
There will be a three fight undercard beginning at 2 PM.
In a 10-round Heavyweight bout, Edmund Gerber (25-2, 16 КО) of Schwerin, Germany will fight Браян мінтая (41-10, 26 КО) of Butler, Пэнсыльванія.
In a 10-round bout for the IBO International Welterweight title, Vishkahn Murzabekov (12-0, 6 КО) of Russia takes on former world title challenger Ali Funeka (37-5-3, 30 КО) of South Africa.
