Lucas Browne
Lucas Browne (born 14 April 1979) is an Australian professional boxer, former mixed martial artist and kickboxer. He held the WBA (Regular) Heavyweight title in 2016 when he stopped Ruslan Chagaev in an upset victory and by doing so became the first heavyweight champion from Australia. In boxing, he held the Australian and Commonwealth heavyweight titles between 2012 and 2015, . Browne was stripped of his world title two months later for failing a drug test. This ruling was then overturned in September 2016, clearing him of any wrongdoing. In November, Browne produced another positive drug test which he says was due to him buying (legally) a pre-workout supplement without taking the time to properly vet it for compatibility with the WBA's anti-doping regulations.
