Australian boxers pay tribute to David Browne Jr.
THE Australian boxing community mourns the loss of David Browne Jr., who passed away this week.
Tributes have continued to flow in for the popular Campbelltown native, who had a distinguished amateur career before turning professional where he compiled a 22-2-1 professional ledger with eight knockouts.
As a professional, Browne won the Australian super bantamweight title as well as a handful of respectable regional belts, including the interim WBC Youth featherweight title in 2009, which he successfully defended once.
Several high-profile Australian boxers took to Twitter to pay their respects and condolences to the family of the 28-year-old Browne, who is a husband and father of two.
