Ruslan Chagaev defends WBA World Heavyweight title against undefeated Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne on Saturday, March 5th LIVE on AWE – A Wealth of Entertainment
Legendary world champ Ricky Hatton, is the promoter of Lucas Browne. Hatton’s strategy for Browne is clear – a knockout finish. According to Ricky, “We don’t want the fight to go to the judges. Not that I’m saying they’ll be anything wrong with the judges the WBA chooses, it’s just that when you’re away from home you have the crowd against you and they cheer everything the fighter does, which can sway things.” Hatton added, “(Lucas needs to go) for what he does best, which is go for the knockout.”
“The heavyweight division is incredibly exciting once again. There’re a number of world-class heavyweights with undefeated records, including Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Lucas Browne. They’re on a collision course,” stated boxing insider Marc Abrams.
Chagaev of Andijan, Uzbekistan was a former world amateur champion, who turned professional in 1997. The 37 year-old won his first twenty-five contests which was highlighted by a WBA Heavyweight title with a 12-round majority decision over previously undefeated champion Nikolay Valuev (46-0). He made two defenses of his title with wins over Matt Skelton (21-1) and Carl Davis Drummond (26-0) before being stopped by Wladimir Klitschko.
