As expected, fireworks have already begun with Browne calling out Gallen on social media a couple of days ago about changing the number of rounds in the bout, which is expected to take place in April.<\/p>\n
"In typical Paul Gallen fashion, I've been informed by his team through my manager that he doesn't want a ten-round fight anymore, he wants a six-round fight.<\/p>\n
"So going from wanting to prove himself against an actual boxer, back to a circus of six rounds."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Browne added that he wouldn't even need six rounds to finish Gallen off.<\/p>\n
"You were never going to last six rounds mate so it doesn't matter, it basically just means I'll do more sprints instead of stamina stuff.<\/p>\n
"It's going to be an absolute barnburner, basically two fellas wanting to punch the shit out of each other, standing in the middle of the ring, having a go."<\/p>\n

The fight is there for you. Stop carrying on like I'm the one dobbing it because it's not me."<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
