Adrien Broner, the four-division world champion, plans to make a comeback to boxing. The 36-year-old fighter from Cincinnati, Ohio, announced his return on social media, aiming to give his all to the sport for the next 3-5 years.
Broner's career has been a rollercoaster ride. He won world championships from super-featherweight to welterweight and was once considered one of boxing's biggest stars. His professional journey began 17 years ago, but recent years have seen him struggle both in and out of the ring.
In his last fight, Broner lost a decision to Blair Cobbs in Florida in June 2024. Before that, he picked up a win against Bill Hutchison in 2023. These bouts came after a period of inactivity following his 2019 loss to Manny Pacquiao for the WBA Regular Welterweight belt.
Broner's record includes losses to top fighters like Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Marcos Maidana. Despite these setbacks, he's determined to make a strong return to the sport.
On social media, Broner declared:
"Man, I'm about to give my life to boxing for the next 3-5 years! If you with me, I love you… if you not, f--k you!"
The fighter nicknamed "The Problem" looks to step back into the ring either before the end of 2025 or early next year. He seems motivated to make up for lost time after a couple of frustrating years.
Broner's comeback adds to a trend of boxers returning to the sport after time away. Recently, Manny Pacquiao announced his own return at 46 years old, showing that age doesn't always stop fighters from pursuing their passion.
While fans wait for an official announcement about Broner's comeback, questions remain about how he'll perform after his time away. The boxing world will watch closely to see if "The Problem" can solve his recent struggles and return to his former glory in the ring.
