Adrien Broner took part in a press conference on Tuesday to officially announce himself back in business as a professional boxer.
Too often, Broner has set up a fight only to see it canceled through his or his opponent’s fault. After two years and four months, it’s finally time to rumble.
The four-division world champion Adrien Broner returns to the ring on Friday night at Casino Miami in Miami, Florida.
Broner campaigns under the guidance of famed promoter Don King.
Challenging him in the opposite corner is William Hutchinson. ‘Hutch’ presents Broner with an obstacle he must maneuver, having not lost in seven years.
Adrien Broner is back in the spotlight
After considerable doubts that the headliner will go again, admittedly from World Boxing News at the front of the queue, Broner was back in the spotlight this week.
Talking through the bout at Miami Airport Embassy Suites Hotel, Broner was confident of getting his career in full gear once again.
On Wednesday, Broner heads to the world-famous 5th Street Boxing Gym in Miami Beach, accompanied by co-feature fighter, the NABA light heavyweight champion Ahmed Elibiali.
Also working out for the press will be Hutchinson, Rodolfo Gomez, ex-pound-for-pound star Guillermo Rigondeau, Braulio Rodriguez, and Broner.
Plus, Antonio Williams, Adlay Rodríguez, Neslan Machado and finally Raynel Mederos.
On Thursday, the official weigh-in occurs at Casino Miami on the Arena Floor itself. The scaling will be streamed live at www.DonKing.com.
