At one point in time, four-division world champion, Adrien Broner was considered one of the best prospects in boxing. However, a myriad of personal issues and mental health struggles sorely began affecting his performances. This, in turn, also made him take a much-needed break from the sport that made him a household name. Broner, whose last performance was in 2021, was scheduled for a February 25 comeback fight against Michael Williams Jr. However, it looks like his opponent has pulled out of the fight.
