During his prime, four-division world champion, Adrien Broner, was on the pedestal of boxing glory. He awed the boxing fraternity and fans alike with his powerful performances inside the ring. However, this victory lap quickly came crashing down after a host of mental and personal issues burdened Broner. Moreover, in 2021, he went on to take a substantial break from the sport that made him a household name. Broner recently announced his comeback, in what is believed to be a resurgence of the prime ‘AB’. It was also reported that he has signed with the veteran boxing promoter, Don King. And, boxing superstar, Gervonta Davis, could not resist making a comment.
Broner was set to make a comeback on February 25, 2023, with a showdown against Michael Williams Jr. But, the fight did not materialize, as Williams Jr. had to back out due to a jaw injury. This, in turn, led to Broner ending his association with BLK Prime. It was later announced that he has signed with the Hall of Fame promoter. In a statement, King was all praise for his newest ward. Additionally, he also went on to issue an open challenge to the other promoters including Al Haymon and Eddie Hearn.

I grew up seeing Don “offer easy money then steal from you” King pushing through crowds to get in front of cameras. I guess his street con still works.
