Sources close to the situation have informed us that a deal has been reached to match three-division world champion Adrien Broner against jr. welterweight contender Emmanuel Taylor on September 6. The bout is tentatively scheduled to take place in Broner's hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, though there's talks of potentially moving it San Antonio. The card will reportedly feature several up-and-coming Cincinnati fighters, including bantamweight Rau'Shee Warren and lightweight Robert Easter.

Taylor is coming off of a career-defining victory, surviving a late knockdown to score a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Karim Mayfield recently on ESPN Friday Night Fights. Taylor will reportedly earn a career high payday. Former welterweight champion Andre Berto and hard-hitting jr. welterweight Lucas Matthysse are also expected to make their return to the ring on the same date, but it's unclear if either will be on Broner's card or fighting in a different venue.

This is a good fight. Who you got?

Good little fight. I obviously would have rather seen him vs Lucas but at least it's not against some no name scrub.

This is solid fight. The problem I have with Taylor is that he stands right in front of his opponent. He should definitely work on his lateral movement. Broner isn't as limited offensively as Mayfield was. He's definitely game though.

Yea at times he looks a little lost in there. I was surprised he beat Mayfield coming off a one sided loss to Algerie. That's a good win to have on your resume.
