Green said he had had some bruising training sessions in the past with Briggs, 34, who twice fought Poland's Tomasz Adamek for a light heavyweight world title but has not been in action since February 2007.
"There was a lot of blood, a lot of sweat and lot of injuries and there was a lot of respect," Green said.
"Hurricane" Briggs, a former kickboxer and dance music DJ, said he had overcome the problems with his adrenal and nervous system which forced him to quit and take up work as a TV commentator.
"I'm in great shape, my version of out of shape is the average person's super fit," said Briggs.
Green (29 wins, 3 defeats) will take on Briggs (26-3) in Sydney on July 21, in his third title defence after stopping Manny Siaca in April and stunning American great Roy Jones Jr in December.
