Lucas Browne DETHRONES Ruslan Chagaev by KO: “Bring on Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury on the Same Night & They Will Get KNOCKED OUT”

Lucas should say this: “Bring on Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury on the same night & they will get KNOCKED OUT” –Simba Judeson, Coffeyville, KS – (President of the Lucas Browne Is the Best Heavyweight Champion Today Fan Club – 8 with one still on the fence members as of today, but by Tuesday, will be at about 14 so look out!)

Unbeaten heavyweight Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (24-0, 21 KOs) came off the canvas to score a sudden and explosive tenth round TKO to dethrone reigning WBA regular heavyweight world champion Ruslan Chagaev (34-3-1, 21 KOs) on Saturday night at the Colosseum Sport Hall in Grozny, Chechnya, Russia.

The pace was slow early as the taller Browne mostly worked the jab from the outside. Chagaev began to ramp up the pressure and dropped Browne hard in round six. A battered and bleeding Browne barely survived the round, which seemed about ten seconds too long. The gutsy Browne rallied in round seven. The pace slowed again and Browne’s jab reappeared. In round ten, Browne floored Chagaev with a massive right hand and then pummeled him until referee Stanley Christodoulou stopped it! Browne becomes the first ever Australian heavyweight champion.

Heavyweight Edmund Gerber (26-2, 17 KOs) of Schwerin, Germany, scored a second round destruction of 41-year-old Brian “The Beast” Minto (41-11, 26 KOs) of Butler, PA. Gerber dropped Minto in round two, then put him on the deck face first to end it. Time was 2:40.

37-year-old former world title challenger Ali Funeka (38-5-3, 30 KOs) of South Africa, scored an upset twelve round split decision over previously unbeaten welterweight Vishkahn Murzabekov (12-1, 6 KOs) of Russia. With Chechnyan President Ramzan Kadyrov in his corner, the aggressive Murzabekov was credited with a knockdown in round two when Funeka held onto the ring rope. But, Funeka gained the advantage in the middle rounds and stalked Murzabekov late. Scores were 115-112, 114-113 Funeka and 117-111 Murzabekov.

Unbeaten cruiserweight Tyrone “King of the Ring” Spong (3-0, 3 KOs) of Miami, Florida, laid out previously unbeaten David Gogishvilli (12-1, 8 KOs) of Gori, Georgia, with an overhand right in round two.
