Former four division world champion Adrien Broner is less than a week away from a scheduled ring return.
Broner has been away from the sport for more than two years and there were many who felt he would never come back to the squared circle.
The last time he saw action, was in January 2019, when he lost a twelve round unanimous decision to Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
On February 20th at the Mohegan Sun, Broner will headline a Showtime televised tripleheader.
The outspoken boxer will face undefeated junior welterweight contender Jovanie Santiago of Puerto Rico.
At 31-years-old, Broner is relatively still a young fighter.
But, there are many critics who believe the former champion is no longer the same fighter who captured world titles at super featherweight, lightweight, junior welterweight and welterweight.
Broner has a strong message for those critics.
"Eat a d-ck and put gravy on it," Broner told TMZ Sports.
Broner believes that he still has another three to five years left in boxing.
During his two years of inactivity, Broner has been swarmed with a mountain of legal issues.
He was hit with two large judgements in civil court cases, he was momentarily jailed for disobeying a court order, and the boxer was also arrested for DUI after passing out behind the wheel of his Rolls Royce.
No more games and no more legal issues, says Broner.
He wants to fully focus on his boxing career with the overall goal of capturing another world title.
"Our goal is to be another [champion] -- a five-time world champion soon -- so it's starting off February 20," Broner said.
"I've matured a lot, I've been through a lot and ya know, it's just time to get to business and make my money and do what I do best and that's box."
