Browne's most recent fight took place on 18 March 2023, against Jarrell Miller. Although it was a non-title bout, the fight was crucial to Browne's career, as it could have catapulted him back into the heavyweight title mix. However, he lost the fight via 6th round TKO, ending his chances of making an immediate comeback.

In his career so far, Browne has won one world title at heavyweight. On 5 March 2016, at the age of 36, he had his first world title fight. His opponent was Ruslan Chagaev, and the two were competing for the heavyweight WBA (Regular) title. Browne won the title by defeating Chagaev via 10th round TKO, making him the heavyweight champion of the world.

Browne's remarkable career and legacy have not come without controversy. In 2016, he tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol after his fight against Ruslan Chagaev. The result was overturned, and Browne was stripped of his title, ending his reign as the heavyweight champion of the world. He later claimed that he accidentally ingested the substance while taking legal supplements and denied any wrongdoing.

Before becoming a professional boxer and mixed martial artist, he worked as a nightclub bouncer in Kings Cross and played rugby league football for the Parramatta Eels under-18s in the S. G.
