A former WBA champion recently suffered a devastating defeat when difficult for a title.
On every week that saw Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua come face-to-face for the primary time ahead of their blockbuster Netflix bout, some significant boxing clashes took place.
The Ring IV on November 22 in Riyadh saw the likes of Devin Haney and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez produce title wins in back-to-back bouts.
David Benavidez capped the night off by stopping Anthony Yarde, but it surely wasn’t just ‘Night of the Champions’ that featured names who’ve experienced the heights of the game.
Saturday night in Florida saw a former heavyweight champion look to win a title in a second sport after recently embarking down a brand new path in his profession.

Lucas Browne gets stopped by Gustavo Trujillo in BKB heavyweight title fight
Ahead of his heavyweight title fight in BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, Bloody Elbow spoke to Lucas Browne in regards to the wild story of how he ended up signing to the promotion.
A win on his debut earned the previous WBA heavyweight champion a title shot against Gustavo Trujillo at BKB 48 on November 22 in Florida.
The Aussie has 38 pro boxing bouts under his belt, and eight MMA contests, but spoke about feeling the frenzy of fighting in a dangerous sport like bare knuckle.
Browne also believed that he had the correct style for competing in bare knuckle, which might make him simpler than other skilled boxers who make the switch.
Unfortunately for ‘Big Daddy’, this didn’t repay for him on Saturday night, as he was stopped by the Cuban champion in the primary round of their contest.
Trujillo hurt and dropped his opponent after the opening minute only to land a second knockdown shortly after that ended the bout.

Fans raise concerns about Lucas Browne continuing to fight after one other KO loss
After footage of the knockout was shared on social media, fans reacted to the fight, with many urging Lucas Browne to hold the gloves up and preserve his health.
Two comments, calling for his team to ‘save him from himself’ after a ‘tragic’ few years consider that his first round knockout loss to Paul Gallen in 2021 must have signalled the tip for ‘Big Daddy’.
‘Terrible decision to take that fight from team Browne,’ said one user, with one other adding, ‘Can someone stop sending this bloke on the market?’
Lots of the responses decided that enough is enough, writing comments like, ‘Man, stop fighting’ and ‘Wish he would hang them up now, it’s time to take a seat in his rocking chair.’
