This might be one of the best fights that can be made in Australia, although it’s probably coming a few years too late. The two men had the opportunity to fight each other in 2007, but both instead retired. Green came out of retirement a year and a half ago, nominally fighting at cruiserweight, and has run off a series of wins over old former titleholders, including Roy Jones Jr. Briggs only fought once since losing a close brutal war to Tomasz Adamek at light heavyweight, and will be fighting for the first time since early 2007. Ring rust may be a factor, but if both men are on their game, they’re both fighters who aren’t afraid to mix it up and like to come forward. There are a number of undercard bouts, so the main event will probably start about two to two and a half hours after the start time listed above.
