Boxing star Adrien Broner is itching to show his critics he’s far from washed … telling TMZ Sports he’s looking to knockout Bill Hutchinson later on Friday!!
The 34-4-1 welterweight hasn’t stepped into the ring since 2021 … but he says he’s more than ready to put back on his gloves at the FITE event inside Casino Miami in Florida.
“It’s been a crazy training camp,” the 33-year-old said earlier this week. “I feel good. I’m ready. I can’t wait to put on a show.”
Many, however, don’t believe Broner can return to the boxer he once was … particularly because he’s only taken one fight since he lost badly to Manny Pacquiao in Jan. 2019.
But, Broner says he isn’t the least bit concerned about his detractors … telling us they’re all simply just like “ass****s.”
“Everybody got one,” he said. “If I didn’t have critics or haters, then I wouldn’t be doing something right, you know? I’d feel like, ‘S***, why nobody hatin’ on me?'”
AB’s opponent, Hutchinson, is by no means a tomato can … he’s 20-2-4 with nine knockouts — and will present a tough test for Broner. The fight is expected to begin around 10:30 PM ET.
If and when Broner does get by Hutchinson, he said he’s still got his eyes on a fight with Nate Diaz, who he called out in a scathing IG post a couple months ago.
