Adrien Broner‘s career has been topsy-turvy in the last few years. The former four-weight class champion was one of the biggest stars in the sport six years ago.

In a recent turn of events, Broner resorts to an unexpected means of making money. So let’s wait no further and dive into this recent revelation.
