“I Just Said a Lot of Sh*t”: Adrien Broner Reveals How It Was Growing Up in His Hometown

Adrien Broner has been in and out of boxing in the recent past. Off late, he seems keen on a good return. He has been posting messages outlining his steps to re-establish his name to reassure fans, followers, and, more significantly, himself. Continuing on the track, he went down memory lane during an interview. The thirty-three-year-old boxer, who recently turned a free agent after breaking away from the promoters BLK Prime, signed up with legendary promoter Don King on March 16.

The flamboyant boxer turned professional in 2008 and won his first world title, the WBC (Vacant) Super Featherweight, in 2011. A year later, he moved up and won the WBC Lightweight title. Then, in 2013 he grabbed the WBA Welterweight belt only to lose it to the Argentine Marcos Maidana. After that, Broner’s performance went off balance, and he suffered defeats at the hands of Shawn Porter, Mikey Garcia, and Manny Pacquiao. Finally, after losing to ‘PacMan,’ he went on the first of his breaks.

Yesterday, Broner joined rapper Gillie Da King and social media influencer Wallo267 during an episode of their popular weekly podcast “Million $ Worth Of Game.”

Starting in 2019, the podcast has over 1.25 million subscribers and received over 200 million views. Adrien Broner joined them on episode number 211. The discussion started with the former champion taking accountability for his life, alcohol, and money issue and, of course, relations and terms with other boxers such as Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Some forty minutes later, Wallo267 asked Broner, “Growing up in Cincinnati, how was it for you, man?” Broner replied, “Growin up in my city, man, it was either boxing and grow up try not to get boxed or try not to box some. It was all-around boxing.” Then after a pause added, “I just said a lot of s**t. ”

Wallo267 couldn’t help but add,” Yes you did, coz a lot of homies, I’am pretty sure you got homies that’s not here…they are in penitentary.” Adrien Broner took to boxing at age six. He’s often found saying that it was boxing that saved him from rough neighborhoods. And before he turned professional, he had participated in roughly three hundred and nineteen fights, out of which he won three hundred.
