Age might have gotten the best of Don King, but his acumen to get his fighters the best fights out there remains strong. Perhaps, that is why when the time dawned to restart his career, which was marred in negative coverage, Adrien Broner sought the 92-year-old legend’s assistance. Now, having received it, and tested waters with it, Broner believes he’s at the precipice of taking over the world. Of course, these ambitions make their way with King’s confidence in him.

Cincinnati-based, Broner who lept out of the ring after his 2020 win over Jovanie Santiago, did not see the face of a professional undertaking until last year. The two-year-long sabbatical was attributed to the mental health issues and alcoholism that he struggled with. However, when most assumed that ‘The Problem’ had hung his gloves for good, his resilience shone through. In a shocker, to start from where he left off, Broner defeated Bill Hutchinson last year on points. The victory boosted his confidence and his credibility as a fighter. Hence, to embark upon this streak, he hopes to follow suit.

Adrien Broner 2.0

As inklings of his second innings in the ring made headlines, another one with his name furthered the anticipation. It was announced in 2023 that the now-34-year-old had signed a promotional deal with King. The promoter has worked with the likes of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Evander Holyfield.

In a statement, excited about the partnership, King kept it real about the fighter who fought under the Professional Boxing Championship (PBC) for almost his entire career. He remarked, “Adrien is ready and excited to show his championship skills once again for the delight of the great boxing fans.” Now that the world knows about their togetherness, the fighter-promoter duo takes their efforts to the next level.

On his Instagram stories, Broner posted a video in which he was speaking to the promoter, who’s slowed down in the business he once ruled. The fighter asked, “Don, you ready to take over the world? ” King asked, “Take over the world?” The 35-4-1, fighter replied, “Again. Again, Don. We gonna take over the world again, Don.” The legendary promoter then added in the affirmative, “Yes, that’s right.”

Adrien Broner 2.0 is an invocation that many remain excited about. His well-wishers, himself, his promoter, and his potential opponents. And by the looks of it, he may have one all ready for him.

Conor Benn Wants ‘The Problem’

To Boxing Social, Conor Benn’s promoter confirmed that the clan is looking at Broner as a potential opponent for their fighter. However, Broner’s name remains at the bottom of a barrel out of the many options Benn has at his disposal. The promoter explained, “Possibly, but it would be the most unlikely one. Adrien Broner does a lot of calling out. I think that’s the least realistic one, but look, everyone is calling out Conor Benn.” 27-year-old, ‘The Destroyer’ defeated Peter Dobson early this month, continuing his reign on the undefeated spectrum. Is Conor Benn a viable option for Broner to bank upon?
