However, Browne
was not done yet, and, almost exactly five years
later to the day, he started the come-back that
would eventually lead to him finally becoming
world champion. But it would still take almost
another five years.
Now
campaigning at Super Welterweight and
Middleweight, Browne won eleven of his thirteen
bouts, only drawing with Samuel Colomban (24-9)
and losing to multiple world champion Anthony
Mundine (47-8),
and captured
the UBO International title
before
securing his crack at the
UBO
World Super
Welterweight
crown.
In the opposite
corner would be the very capable former WBO
Africa Champion Ebenezer Lantei Lamptey (29-3)
from Ghana, a dangerous and hungry opponent with
twenty-two knockouts and appropriately nicknamed
“Hitman”.
On August 19,
2018 at the K. Ranch Arena in Mount Hunter, New
South Wales, Australia, a nice crowd turned up
to support the local hero from only a few miles
away in Camden. This was the night “The Titan”
would be King!
And Browne
didn't let the opportunity pass him by, as he
totally dominated Lantei Lamptey and stopped him
in the third round. It was a very impressive and
sharp performance, showing that he was still a
top-class operator.
Unfortunately
Browne never defended the UBO World title. He
has only fought three times since that August
night in 2018, but he has won all three fights
and remains a very relevant Super Welterweight.
