Adrien Broner (30-2) has found much success in the boxing ring. By the age of 23 he had become a three-division world champion.
However, he has suffered two losses recently. Marcos Maidana handed "The Problem" his first defeat on December 4, 2013, in a grueling 12-round battle.
His June 20, 2015, match against Shawn Porter resulted in his second loss by unanimous decision.
Some have cited the Cincinnatti native's hard partying lifestyle outside of the ring as one reason Broner hasn't yet realized his full potential.
As he prepares to fight #5 ranked light welterweight Khabib Allakhverdiev on Saturday, October 3rd, the now 26-year old Broner promises that he has rededicated himself to the sport.
"I've already accomplished a lot at a young age, but I have so much more to do," he told Showtime, the network that will broadcast his bout against Allakhverdiev. "Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] is gone. Boxing is up in the air. A new era will start October 3rd. This next half of my career I'm gonna be the AB that's about business and about boxing. I will be four-time world champion in four different weight classes."
Do you think Broner is now ready to take over boxing as many predicted he would just two years ago?
