Adrien Broner boxing comeback

Entities: Bobby Green · Adrien Broner · Shane Mosley

Overview

In early July 2026, former four‑division champion Adrien Broner began a 45‑day livestreamed training regimen, shedding nine pounds in the first 12 days as he works to lose weight, stay sober and revive his career after a June 2024 knockout loss to Blair Cobbs.

Cobbs, now 18‑1‑1 following a recent win over Andres Ramirez, expressed doubt that a high‑profile rematch will materialise, citing Don King’s promotion as financially unable to stage another bout. He suggested a rematch could only happen under different promotional terms.

Hall‑of‑Famer Shane Mosley warned that Broner’s biggest hurdle is maintaining focus, saying the former champion has the talent but must stay dedicated to his goals. Mosley’s comments came as a video from Broner’s stream showed extra mid‑section weight, fueling concerns about his discipline.

Later in July, Broner was filmed confronting UFC lightweight Bobby “King” Green in an underground warehouse gym. The tense exchange prompted fans to label Broner “scared” and question his confidence ahead of any potential boxing return.

Broner continues to document his workouts on the Kick platform, hoping to secure new promotional backing and convince the boxing community that his renewed discipline can translate into a viable comeback.
