A proposed April 3 heavyweight showdown between unbeaten Lucas Browne and former rugby star Solomon Haumono is no longer on the table, although how final the fight ever was varies depending on which side you ask.
Both camps confirmed that the all-Aussie battle will no longer take place. However, Haumono's handlers were quick to suggest that Browne bolted from what they believed to be a done deal.
"His camp (has) once again pulled out, with the Solomon fight all approved by the Commonwealth," Angelo DiCarlo, Haumono's manager informed aus-boxing.com.
Browne's side insists there was never a fight to pull out of, also expressing their interest to explore such an opportunity down the road.
"While negotiations with Haumono's team have taken place, the fight was never finalized," Hatton Promotions' press agent—who represents Browne—informed in a statement. "Hatton Promotions' Australian representatives have been informed by Main Event Pay Per View that the bout could be given PPV status in the near future, but a suggested date of April 3 isn't suitable as the network's schedule is already fully booked.
"As such, we feel that a Browne v Haumono fight should take place at a time which is more financially beneficial to all parties concerned. However, it must be stressed that Haumono is just one of the options available to Browne at this time." [Click Here To Read More]
