in Paradise, Nevada. Although both were ranked highly with the WBC, the fight would be contested for the WBA Interim light heavyweight title. Browne was 'honored and a privileged' to be able to fight on a big PPV undercard. He was also excited with the opportunity of fighting his first big name on his way to becoming a household name.
Browne used his youth, speed and power advantage to pound out a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision win over Jack, who suffered a horrendous cut on his forehead in round 7. The judges’ scores were 117–110, 116-111 and 119–108 in Browne's favor. Both boxers started fight off slow, but it was Browne who managed to do more to win the early rounds. In round 7, following an accidental clash of heads, a vertical cut appeared on Jack's forehead, with blood streaming down. The head clash seemed to be initiated by Jack, who according to Browne, was coming forward with his head all fight. Jack had his best round in round 12, as he attacked Browne hard in landing some nice shots. At this point, Jack needed a knockout, but was not able to hurt Browne. He lacked the power, and had taken so much punishment. After the fight, Browne said, "He was a real tough competitor. He thought he would take me deep in the rounds and drown me but I came in shape. I used my athletic ability. I did what I do best – box the crap out of people. I was too slick, too sharp." Jack did not stay long after the bout and was taken to a hospital. After being stitched up, Jack congratulated Browne, "I would like to thank all of the fans for your support! The cut was a nasty one, but I’m fine now, Alhamdulillah. Congrats to Marcus Browne who fought a great fight. Regardless of the cut he was the better man tonight. I am a warrior and will never quit. I dedicated this fight to the refugee children across the world who fight a much tougher fight than I did tonight. I will continue to fight for them until the end." Browne landed 145 of 515 punches thrown (28%) and Jack landed 66 of his 303 thrown (22%). Jack received $500,000 and Browne was guaranteed a $250,000 purse.

. On June 6, a press release announced the card, making it official. Browne was arrested on June 12 for 'allegedly violating an order of protection' against his ex-girlfriend and their daughter. The said incident took place on May 22 after he barged into her home after dropping off their daughter. An argument broke out. It was said that this was the fourth time in the past 18 months where Browne had been in trouble, all involving the same woman. The arrest did not affect the fight with Pascal. Pascal did not underestimate Browne heading into the fight. He believed he was a rookie, but also hungry. He claimed they both knew each others styles very well. Pascal was going to rely on his experience to win the fight. At the kick off presser, Browne warned, "Don't blink, I'm knocking his ass out.", suggesting he was going for a stoppage win. Pascal laughed off his statement. Tensions rose during fight week. Pascal shoved Browne and then brought up his recent arrest. From a plastic bag, Pascal pulled out a wig and asked if Browne would still knock him out. Browne did not get up from his seat as Pascal shouted “You, woman-beater,” into his microphone. Browne weighed in 173½ pounds and Pascal was slightly heavier at 174½ pounds.
Browne was a heavy favourite going into the fight and although Browne won the majority of the rounds, Pascal knocked him down a total of three times in the fight, once in the fourth round and twice in the seventh round. This gave Pascal a lead of 75–74 on all three judges' scorecards at the time of the stoppage in the middle of the eighth round, when the fight was halted due to a clash of heads. As a result, Pascal emerged victorious via unanimous
technical decision, and became the new WBA interim champion. All three knockdowns came from a right hand, but Browne outboxed Pascal for the majority of the fight. The cut which caused the premature stoppage of the fight was over Browne’s left eye. Speaking to FOX reporters after the fight, Pascal said, “Boxing is boxing. We clashed heads. But at the end of the day, I was winning the round. I dropped him three times. It was a close fight, but I believe I was winning.” The event drew 8,790 fans in attendance. According to
Compubox, Browne landed 106 of 276 punches thrown (38%) and Pascal landed only 51 of his 264 thrown (19%). Browne did not stay for the post-fight interviews and made his way to

.
Unsure on how long it would take Browne to heal from the cut, Pascal's manager Greg Leon stated talks would be held with Browne's team for a potential rematch, as it was expected that Browne would activate the rematch clause. A preference was for the rematch to take place in Quebec, where Pascal was a well-known ticket seller. Although recent crowds drawn in Miami and Brooklyn meant there was other options. Pascal planned to take another fight before the year end, possibly a stay-busy whilst waiting for Browne to make a recovery. Pascal was back in the fold on the light heavyweight division.
Browne vs Grachev
Browne returned to boxing following a near two-year absence from the sport to face Denis Grachev on April 20, 2021. Grachev, a former kickboxer, was seen as a stay-active fight, which wasn't supposed to present a challenge for Browne. The bout was announced for the untelevized undercard of the Frank Martin vs Jerry Perez lightweight clash. Browne was originally expected to face
Gilberto Ramírez for the vacant interim WBC super middleweight title, before Ramírez withdrew from the bout on February 12, 2021. Browne, who entered the fight as a -10 000 favorite, beat Grachev by unanimous decision. Neither
PBC nor Browne made mention of the contest afterwards.

Browne lost the fight by a ninth-round knockout, failing to raise in time to beat the ten-count after being dropped by a left uppercut. Browne was furthermore knocked down in the seventh round as well.
Controversy
On April 6, 2018, Browne was arrested for two domestic incidents. Authorities alleged that Browne had violated an order of protection by demanding entry to his ex-girlfriend's apartment and threatening to break in if she didn't obey his demands. The incident took place on March 30, 2018, while the order of protection against Browne was issued on December 28, 2017, after Browne had allegedly assaulted the woman in question. It was later revealed that Browne had been arrested once again for attacking his ex-girlfriend. He allegedly kicked in the woman's door and choked her. Browne later pleaded guilty to criminal contempt in the second degree on January 19, 2019, and was sentenced to 26 sessions of the batterer's intervention program and a conditional discharge with a full order of protection.
On June 14, 2019, Browne was once again arrested, which was his fourth arrest in 18 months. He was charged with felony counts of criminal contempt and aggravated family offense, as well as misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and criminal contempt. The arrest came five months after he had pleaded guilty to criminal contempt.
