At 46, Lucas Browne is all set for a shot at the Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) heavyweight title. The fight is set for Saturday, the 22nd of November at the Charles F Dodge Center in Pembroke Pines, Florida.<\/p>\n
That title is held by Gustavo Trujillo, aka \u201cThe Cuban Assassin,\u201d who fights primarily out of Florida and has many fans in the Miami area, where this one is set to take place.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m the sort of man who never looks at an opportunity like this and says no I won\u2019t or can\u2019t,\u201d Browne said in a statement to the press. \u201cIt\u2019s a massive opportunity and I\u2019m taking it with both hands. It\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t come around often for many people so I will never not give it a try. I\u2019m thankful to the BKB for considering me and I\u2019ll make them proud also.\u201d<\/p>\n

Browne is a combat sports veteran with an impressive record (31-7, 27 KOs boxing; 1-0 BKB) and a hunger for the sport even into his late 40s. Browne may be motivated by history as he is looking to do something that no boxer has done since John L. Sullivan in the 1800s. Sullivan was the first and only boxer to be both a bareknuckle fighter and a world boxing champion.<\/p>\n
Browne is trying to go the other direction. Having already won accolades in boxing, he is trying to earn a bare-knuckle title. He is already a former WBA World Heavyweight champion, as well as a former Commonwealth champion and Australian champion in boxing.<\/p>\n
This one is an intriguing match-up because Gustavo \u201cThe Cuban Assassin\u201d Trujillo is undefeated in BKB. He is 7-0 with all of his wins coming by way of knockout. It\u2019s a classic matchup of experience vs. power.<\/p>\n
