    Sure enough Lucas Browne has been paid stand aside money :

    Hatton Promotions has issued a statement to clarify things and
    Chagaev’s team "explicitly stated they wished Ruslan to make an optional defense first as they had an outstanding TV commitment".

    It has been agreed to on the basis Browne received financial compensation to “step aside”, with a view to the mandatory contest still happening this summer.

    The optional defense has already been delayed and is now being set for June 27.

    Ruslan Chagaev will defend his WBA title against 31-1-1 Francesco Pianeta in Germany, July 11th. After paying his mandatory, Lucas Browne, step aside money.

    So whos Browne fighting? Hes been inactive long enough. Hatton should put him in the ring with someone decent already.

    Hatton was attempting to put Browne in the ring with Chagaev for the WBA title. But that having fallen through, yes Browne will need a fight.

    I hardly think there will be much risk involved though because it would seem Browne is guaranteed to fight for Chagaev's title immediately after that.

    "King Pin" Johnson is fighting Anthony Joshua May 30th.

    In any case, do you really think Hatton will go after Johnson for Browne when Browne has a world title fight looking him in the face? I don't.

    Im sure Ustinov would take on Browne....but I like Browne and wouldnt want to see him laying on the canvas.

    So.....

    How bout he answer Amir Monsours latest callout of the HW division.

    He's a mandatory, and supposedly Monsour wants a shot. If he beats Browne, there's his shot.

    But we all know he'd never take that fight, especially since he turned down huge $$$$ to fight Ustinov in his own backyard. :lol::lol::lol:

    Amir "softpusssy" Womansour:lol::lol::lol:

    Can't see Hatton taking any chances right now with Browne, when he is guaranteed a title shot once Chagaev and Pianeta are done with each other.

    If Browne has a fight in the interim, and I thing he needs one, it will be against a reliable loser.

    There is no WBA regular belt. It is an illusion, like democracy.

    Chagaev defends a paper title which few fighters would care about. But in his voluntary defense he still fights a better opponent than Deontay Wilder does with Eric Molina.

    I whish Chagaev the best. Not everything went as he might hoped.
    His hepatitis infection. His former promoters bancrupty. His trainers (Sdunek) death....

    This Oqueno thing just goes on and on:

    Attorneys for Fres Oquendo have asked a federal court to hold boxing promotional company CCC Terek in contempt of court because CCC Terek has arranged for Ruslan Chagaev to defend his WBA title against Francesco Pianeta in Germany.

    Oquendo alleges CCC Terek still owes him $785,000 for the first Chagaev fight. Oquendo also alleges the contract contained a clause which would allow Oquendo-- the challenger, and not even the mandatory challenger-- to demand a rematch.
