Adrien Broner still talks a good game, even a great one, and “The Problem,” as the former four-weight champ is known, remains a big draw – one still big enough to headline a big card. Broner, attempting to get back to winning ways following his July 2017 points loss to Mikey Garcia, will face rough and tough Omar Figueroa at The Barclays Centre in Brooklyn on April 21.

Who wins: Amir Khan-Adrien Broner – rumours suggest the fight is in the works
Just last week, Amir Khan put out a tantalising tweet in which he wrote how he has a “big announcement” that he will make in the coming days. As soon as fight fans read the message, speculation was rife on what the former 140 pound champion’s announcement might be.
Khan is, as we know, itching to fight again, for the first time since he was stopped by Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in a catch-weight affair that took place in May of 2015, and a rumour has begun circulating (via Boxing Planet and Boxing Kingdom) that suggests Khan will face none other than Adrien Broner this March. Khan did say a while back how he wanted his next fight to take place before his home fans in the UK, but money, and opportunity, talks. If Khan has been offered a big fight with Broner, of course it makes plenty of sense for him to take it.
Khan wants Thurman after March tune-up
Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) says he’ll be ready to challenge for a world title against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs) after he takes a tune-up fight this March.
Adrien Broner – Omar Figueroa in the works for the spring: a must-win fight for both men
Adrien Broner, everyone’s favourite bad guy, or man you love to hate, last threw a punch on the Las Vegas Strip, laying an unknown passer by out in quite nasty fashion (for which charges were brought); aside from sparring in the gym and what may have happened behind closed doors, this is the last hard punch of Broner’s we saw land and do damage.
Video: Adrien Broner in more trouble as he viciously lays out an unknown man on Las Vegas Strip!
It seems Adrien Broner just cannot keep himself out of trouble. “The Problem,” (and how much is the former four-weight champ going to live to regret choosing that particular ring nickname!) has been captured on video hitting an unknown man on the Las Vegas Strip this past Friday night; sending the man down and out with a vicious, apparently unprovoked punch to the head.
Can the Can-Man Comeback?
There is no denying that Adrien Broner is an extremely talented boxer. With fast hands, decent power, underrated toughness, good counter punching skills he became a four weight world champion with a decorated amateur career with 300 wins and only 19 losses. Broner is an athletic boxer with a big time camera grabbing personality and only 28 years old. With such an impressive history what would make me as if Broner can make a comeback?
What next for Mikey Garcia, Adrien Broner?
Mikey Garcia once again showed his class and talent in dominating Adrien Broner. The unbeaten star who has won titles at three different weights looked great fighting as a 140-pounder. Broner, who once again promised so much, failed to deliver. But this was largely down to the simple fact that Garcia, now 37-0(30) didn’t allow Broner to do much of anything apart from talk (both before, during and even after the fight).
After losing for the third time in his career, Broner vowed to come back and win another belt, but his defiance doesn’t look like it will be matched with actions. Broner, a good fighter once seemingly capable of achieving greatness or something close to it, looks to be done at elite level. As for Garcia, he has an absolute ton of options; as he made clear when speaking after his unanimous decision victory.
