Despite what is being spread on the internet, a bout between Ruslan Provodnikov and Adrien Broner is not on the horizon.
Artie Pelullo, the head of Banner Promotions, who represents Provodnikov told BoxingScene.com on Friday afternoon:
"There's absolutely no truth to a fight between Ruslan and Broner. I don't know where it came from. I even saw that there was a poster made by a fan but there has been no conversation from anybody from Al Haymon's people or Showtime for an Adrien Broner fight with Ruslan."
The veteran promoter - who did find the poster to be rather amusing - says an announcement regarding Provodnikov's future will soon be made.
In his most recent outing, Provodnikov dropped a close 12-round decision to Lucas Matthysse on April 18th, while Broner lost an ugly 12-rounder to Shawn Porter back on June 20th.
