Adrien Broner announces comeback plans during Miami livestream, eyes world title Adrien Broner, the former four-division world champion, made a bold declaration during a livestream on May 20, 2026, from Miami, announcing his intent to pursue one final world title before retiring. The 36-year-old boxer, who suffered a knockout loss to Blair Cobbs in June 2024, revealed his decision to return to the ring after nearly two years of inactivity. His announcement, framed as a last-chance opportunity to reclaim a world championship, marks a significant shift in his career trajectory. Broner’s professional record stands at 35-5-1 (24 knockouts), with a 68% knockout ratio. His earlier success was defined by dominance at 135 pounds, where he went undefeated with a 27-0 record. However, his transition to higher weight classes saw a marked decline, with a 8-5-1 record above 135 pounds. The last eight years of his career, in particular, have been challenging, as he secured only two wins in eight fights. His defeat to Cobbs in June 2024, a knockout, marked the end of a 17-month layoff, during which he resumed training in November 2025. The livestream announcement emphasized Broner’s determination to reclaim his status as a title contender. He pledged to dedicate the next 3-5 years to his comeback, a timeframe that raises questions about his physical readiness given his age and the toll of a prolonged absence. His goal of securing one final world title before retirement has sparked both optimism and skepticism within boxing circles. Supporters highlight his technical skill and ring intelligence, traits that defined his peak years, while critics question whether his body can withstand the demands of a comeback at 36, especially as he approaches his 37th birthday in July. The challenges Broner faces are multifaceted.#boxing #miami #livestream #adrien_broner #blair_cobbs
