Get ready for some fire.
Paul Gallen and Lucas Browne are ready to go come Wednesday the 21st of April. The men have made it clear, they don’t like each other, at all.
The rugby league legend, Gallen has built his career by setting the football field on fire, known for pushing the boundaries with what you should and shouldn’t do. Coming off a December victory over Kiwi combat great Mark Hunt. Gallen is ready to go, coming out swinging against Browne early in a war of words.
He’s getting $130,000 and he’s not worth $20,000,” Gallen told Wide World of Sports.
“People can say what they want about what he’s achieved or what he hasn’t achieved, but it comes down to the eyes that watch it. That’s what it comes down to.
“And he’s virtually irrelevant. That’s why he’s not getting this sort of money for fights. That’s just fact.”
Australian heavyweight, Lucas Browne had promised that his fight against Gallen wouldn’t even go the distance. Originally wanting to fight Gallen over 10 rounds but the retired Cronulla captain, insistent on a shorter fight and eventually, the bout was settled on a six-round bout.
Browne is confident this will mean he just takes less time to knock Gallen out.
“I don’t want a decision,” Browne told foxsports.com.au on Monday.
“I don’t like putting my fate in the hands of judges, so it’s definitely going to be a knockout, or me going out on my sword.
Six rounds is six rounds, I think he can go six rounds but he starts gassing after that, he’s never been into the deep end.
“I wanted to take him into that deep end... maybe another time.”
Browne, a former WBA heavyweight champion, is one of Australia’s most successful heavyweights and has 29 career wins to his name with 25 knockouts, confirming his reputation as one of the deadliest punchers around.
The two will go toe-to-toe come April 21, who has your vote to take the win?
