Adrien " The Problem " Broner returns to the ring on June 7 at the Seminole Hardrock Hotel and Casino, Hollywood.
The former WBA Welterweight Champion faces Blair " The Flair " Cobbs in an event promoted by good old Don King.
Broner ( 33-4-1, 24Kos) last fought in June last year. He won a unanimous decision over Bill Hutchinson ( 20-2-4) in Miami.
Probably seeking to revive a career that promised way more than what it has delivered ; Broner was expected to walk in the footsteps of Floyd Mayweather, but let himself down in many ways.
The search for opponents hasn't been easy for the 34 year old Ohio native, and several scheduled bouts have failed before this one .
Blair Cobbs ( 16-1-1, 10Kos) can be likened to a younger version of Broner: outspoken, charismatic, flashy and a maverick.
The southpaw boxer hailing from Philadelphia burst onto the boxing scene in 2013.
His knack for braggadocio, rodomontade and impressive athletic abilities soon caught the eyes of many.
He even wound up calling out Errol Spence at some point.
A real smashing at the hands of Alexis Rocha in March 2022 sort of shut him up a bit.
But Cobbs returned with a win over former 140 champ Maurice Hooker and seems set to lock horns against Broner.
An exciting match up indeed, stylistically.
