Browne has a sizeable physical advantage over the former Sharks skipper, standing 17cm taller than Gallen and exhibiting a huge 18cm reach advantage.

Browne told Wide World of Sports he won't forget all the insults hurled his way once he gets in the ring.

"It's more his mouth it's not him personally I know he's doing a Mundine where he'll talk it up for the fight and that's the purpose I understand that," Browne said.

"In saying that you can't take back some of the words that you say, so I will enjoy punching him in the face."

Browne says his preparation for this fight has been different compared to most other fights he's trained for.

Gallen lectures Browne on boxing training

"I think it's going to be very fan friendly where we are going to have two fellas stand in the middle and punch the shit out of each other," he said.

"As opposed to me jabbing and moving and trying to box him for 12 rounds, I can't take him into the later rounds which he hasn't been in because he doesn't do that.

"If it was a 12-round fight I'd stay away from him for the first couple and box and stuff and see how things go rounds six-eight. But I can't."
