Adrien Broner is on a mission to rejuvenate his boxing career. Despite facing a severe injury last year, his dedication remains unwavering. Last June, Broner made a remarkable comeback after a hiatus since 2021. He triumphed over Bill Hutchinson in Miami, who had an impressive winning streak since 2016. Riding high on this win, Broner had plans to face Chris Howard in December. However, a setback came to light.
His trainer, Kevin Cunningham, revealed to Boxing Scene about Broner’s injury. It was sustained during the Hutchinson fight and aggravated during a sparring session later on. Although advised to rest by doctors, Broner’s determination saw him return to the gym recently. In a video that surfaced on social media, Broner showed off his skills while doing some pad work. He looked alright, and it seems that his injury has more or less healed. In the caption of the Instagram post, he even boldly wrote, “And the NEW!” So what do the fans think about Broner’s determination?
