The third time is the charm. Adrien Broner’s return to the ring has been postponed after his latest opponent, Michael Williams Jr., suffered an injury while sparring, BLK Prime officially announced on Friday.
According to BLK Prime, a new date and opponent will be announced at a later date.
Broner, 33, was scheduled to fight Williams on February 25 at The Gateway Center at College Park, GA.
Before Williams took the fight, two other opponents were forced to withdraw. Broner’s original opponent, Ivan Redkach, had to withdraw due to a dispute with his promoter. After Redkach withdrew, Broner was scheduled to fight Hank Lundy; however, Lundy could not take the fight because the California Athletic Commission suspended him.
“I worked my a** off, and I see what the bottom really looked like for the first time,” Broner said in a press release. “I looked in the mirror, and I told myself I am not that person, and I got off my ass and went to work! These last four months, I got in amazing shape, and I’m in a great space in my life. I know this ain’t the WWF, but right now, I feel like Triple H cause I’m back healthy, happy, and HUNGRY!!! Sorry to all my fans, but I will continue this journey. SUPPORT ME, AND I FIGHT FOR YOU”
Tough blow for Broner(34-4-1), who has been out of the ring almost a year, but hopefully, BLK Prime can get him a fight soon enough.
