A Legend Fades: Lucas Browne’s Fourth Straight KO Loss Signals the End of an Era
The once-feared Australian heavyweight Lucas Browne, now 46, suffered yet another devastating stoppage last night—his fourth in a row—this time against Germany’s rising contender Arman Khudoyan. The fight, held in Leverkusen, ended in the sixth and final round when the referee mercifully intervened as Browne absorbed relentless punishment on the ropes.
But here’s where it gets controversial… Browne, a former secondary WBA champion, hasn’t won a fight since his surprising 2022 upset over Junior Fa. Every single one of his seven career losses (31-7, 27 KOs) has come by stoppage, raising urgent questions about whether he should continue fighting at all. While he managed to stay upright against Khudoyan (7-0, 2 KOs), the damage was undeniable. Should a fighter with such mileage still be allowed in the ring? Or is this a case of a warrior refusing to quit while fans and critics alike beg him to walk away?
The Undercard Delivered Shocking Upsets
In a stunner, cruiserweight prospect Jonas Klein (3-0, 3 KOs) defied expectations by stopping Finland’s seasoned veteran Samuli Karkkainen (21-4, 9 KOs) in the sixth round. Karkkainen, bleeding and overwhelmed, had no answer for Klein’s relentless assault. Meanwhile, at super middleweight, Germany’s Steven Nduka (11-0, 6 KOs) solidified his reputation with a brutal fifth-round knockout of Nicaragua’s Roberto Arriaza (21-14, 16 KOs), courtesy of a vicious right uppercut.
