Heavyweight Lucas Browne "Boxer Full of Tattoos Create New History"

Heavyweight Lucas Browne made history by becoming the first Australian boxer to become a Commonwealth champion since 1892. Browne (20-0, 18 KOs) broke the 122-year stalemate after recording a knockout victory in the fifth round over Canadian boxers , Eric Martel Bahoeli (10-4, 7 KO), in a battle that took place at Ponds Fodge Arena, Sheffield, England. Browne dropped Bahoeli in the second round with a hard right hand hit. But in the third round, Browne suffered an eyebrow injury torn due to head collisions between the two boxers. 

In the fourth and fifth rounds he returned to mooning Bahoeli before the referee stopped the fight in the fifth round. This success made Browne the first Australian boxer to become a heavyweight champion in the Commonwealth of Nations. His ability has indeed increased since he was handled by a former British boxer, Ricky Hatton. According to Hatton, Browne had a very hard blow that made him able to compete at the world level. "We know that in the heavyweight, just one hit can change the outcome of the fight and he (Browne) has that punch," Hatton said. "There are rarely boxers who have a punch as hard as him," said the former boxer whose career was stopped by Manny Pacquaio. Browne (35) actually started his fist career at a fairly advanced age five years ago. However, in addition to his fighting abilities, his figure is also increasingly known for his bald head and body covered with tattoos. 

Browne tattooed his body in accordance with the victories he had achieved in the ring. He has a special tattoo expert who is ready to add a tattoo between the spaces in his body. So confident was Browne, that he asked his skilled tattooist - not fake - to write "World Heavyweight Champion" on his neck.
