Don King has announced the accompaniments to the Adrien Broner main course on June 9 as the former world champion seeks a long-awaited comeback win.
“The Problem,” a four-time world Champion in four weight divisions, has only scored one solitary debated victory in six years. Getting the Cincinnati man to this point’s been a long and arduous road.
Broner has struggled with addiction and disappointment since then. He saw his life turned upside down on either side of opponents dropping out and his personal troubles.
One of the most intriguing boxers of his era, Broner returns to the ring against William “Hutch” Hutchinson in a ten-round welterweight bout. Broner vs Hutchinson is the main event of a Don King Pay Per View on Friday, June 9, at Casino Miami.
King is pleased to have put together a stacked bill to lead fans in attendance and those watching on PPV into the resurrection of Broner.
“This is a great card from top to bottom, headlined by “The Problem” fighter Adrien Broner,” said King. “I am the promoter of the people, for the people.
“We are giving the people what they want, which is great fights.”
