Much recently, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez recently shared how they’ve been considering Adrien Broner for Ryan Garcia‘s next fight. They’d even devised a way to make the fight happen at 140, however, there was no response from Broner’s team. Gomez revealed they had spoken to Don King directly, which was quite close to being done, but he stated, “For whatever reason Broner didn’t want it at this time.

Broner has spoken up regarding these allegations. In the past, there have been some conversations up in the air about Garcia vs. Broner. Even then, Broner remained tight-lipped. Recently, he announced that he was ready to set it up with ‘KingRy’ once and for all.

So, it’s about time, the fans get to see Broner on a bigger stage, as he’s moving up the road to become the world champion for the fifth time in his career. So, it was surprising when he didn’t respond to the fight with Garcia. However, Broner stated that he was oblivious to any offer sent to him.

King said, “I’m very interested in what Oscar said, and I think that he’s reaching out, trying to do something for his fighter.

It would be a tremendous match, you know what I mean, so I’m gonna talk to Oscar.” Furthermore, he continued, “If we can work things out, most certainly — working together, which, I’m not one to push anybody off and say, ‘You coulda, woulda, shoulda, but I didn’t give you the opportunity.’
