Defiant Shauna Browne<\/a> says she is ready to create opportunities rather than wait for them.<\/p>\n

The Tipp boxer warned that she is done hanging around for her chance to come and is now planning to force her way onto the biggest stages.<\/p>\n

After a frustrating period of inactivity and the kind of setbacks that prompted her to consider her future in the game, Browne is combining belief with defiance, making it clear she won\u2019t be overlooked any longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sitting in the background waiting for somebody to give me my opportunity, I\u2019m going to go out and make it happen. Whether somebody gives it to me or I take it, I am going to get it\u2014I don\u2019t care,\u201d she tells Irish-boxing.com.<\/p>\n

While the mindset is strong and the plan is clear, the big punching Clonmel native admits the reality of her career lately has been anything but smooth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as everybody thinks it\u2019s all sunshine and rainbows, it\u2019s really not. There\u2019s more negatives than positives as of late.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m still here, still training, still doing what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

A series of cancelled fights\u2014particularly across March\u2014has left Browne battling both frustration and emotional strain rather than opponents. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was in camp from December to March and the fight didn\u2019t go ahead. The inactivity is really getting to me, I\u2019m not going to lie. The sooner I get in and get a fight, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The disappointment reached a breaking point when the Munster found herself watching others compete on the stages she believes she belongs on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched a Matchroom show and I started bawling my eyes out. I was thinking, I could be on that\u2014why am I not getting those opportunities?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI questioned everything about what I\u2019m doing. I questioned everything for about two weeks after that. I even considered packing everything up and moving home. But this is what I\u2019ve been put on this earth to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rather than walk away, Browne has come back with renewed fire\u2014turning her attention to the entire lightweight division and inviting all challengers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want everybody in the 135 division. Every single one of them\u2014I don\u2019t care. Anytime, anywhere, any place\u2014I\u2019m willing to fight them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bold claim, but one Browne believes is justified given her willingness to take risks throughout her career so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t taken any easy fights. I went to Australia and fought a 6-0 fighter in her back garden\u2014who does that? Nobody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody said I\u2019d get smashed\u2014and I battered her and dropped her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m mixing with the absolute best. If you look at my resume of who I\u2019ve sparred, it\u2019s one of the best out there. I am well able\u2014I know exactly what I\u2019m capable of.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I\u2019m good enough to be on those stages. It\u2019s the hardest thing, knowing you\u2019re good enough but not getting the opportunity. But I\u2019m not going to be another statistic that tried and failed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defiant Shauna Browne says she is ready to create opportunities rather than wait for them.
