43-year-old Australian veteran Lucas Brown (31-3, 27 KOs) announced that he was denied a fight against local WBA World Champion Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs). The reason for the decision was the considerable age of the applicant.
Interestingly, even WBC champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) stood up for Brown. And he did it simply gorgeous: “Let the man fight! Luis Ortiz is now 55 years old, and Bernard Hopkins was 50. 43 years old is generally puppyhood.

commented solution VVVOS like: “So I get great news that everything is already agreed. I gave the go-ahead, Daniel gave the go-ahead. The WBA title is on the line. Hooray, I again had a chance to fight for this belt. And then I hear that VVVOS not sanctioning the fight because I’m “too old”. But they don’t take into account that I started boxing only at 32, became the world champion at 36, I have no amateur experience, and now I’m going for a series of two steep knockout victories.”
You can understand Brown – he has two regional titles, a first-round knockout victory over Olympian Junior Fa, he is in the top 15 of the WBA rankings. The big man said hello to the officials: “They make it look like I’ve been fucked every now and then all my career. Dude, I only have 3 losses. How does this shit even work? We looked at the passport and decided: “Fuck this Australian?” That’s the problem with boxing. Too much politics and bribery. I’ve been getting fucked up all my career…”
In 2016 in Grozny (Russia), Brown took the WBA World belt from Ruslan Chagaev, but later got caught on clenbuterol. The Australian blames the Chechen side for everything.
Fury previously pulled out of an elimination fight with Hunter. It was rumored that Dubois would replace him. And the champion was also matched with Manuel Charr, and a little earlier, negotiations were held with Dililan Whyte.
