BLK Prime has announced that former four-division world champion Adrien Broner (34-4-1, 24 KOs) will be returning to the ring to face Ivan Redkach (23-6-1, 18 KOs) in a ten round welterweight bout promoted by Christy Martin Promotions on a February fight date to be determined.

Adrien Broner: “I’m excited to be back in the ring and to show everyone why I’m one of the best boxers in the world. Redkach is a tough opponent, but I’m confident that I have the skills and experience to come out on top. Everyone knows I bring excitement to the ring and against Redkach, it will be no different. It’s time to bring another great show to BLK Prime, I can’t wait.”

Ivan Redkach: “Broner is a great fighter, but I believe I have the power and determination to beat him. This is my opportunity to show the world that I’m still a dangerous fighter. I know I have what it takes to defeat Broner.”

Also on the card will be a clash between former world champions Mickey Bey (23-3-1, 11 KOs) and Tevin Farmer (30-5-1, 6 KOs), a fight that has been postponed at least three times already.

  • LOL, it’s going from bad to worse. Neither of these guys are PPV worthy. Anyone who buys this…..

    • Well spoken words. What a hoot that these promoters want to sucker everyone into paying for this side circus show. Save your money and wait for something bigger and much better.

    • I agree with this not being PPV. The problem is “free” TV is ad-sponsored, and it’s hard for me to believe this card could pull anywhere near the viewership to make that option plausible. A non-televised, “free” stream brings in no revenue… so here we are.

  • Farmer – Bay might be cursed and putting it on as the undercard to an Adrien Broner fight certainly cannot help it. I think they will have this card come off, but it will not look like it is situated here…. Christy Martin and Zab Judah may actually have to get in the ring to save it!

  • Oh wow ppv! This is not even a free national tv quality event!!!!!! The promoters really screw up, investing on this non-sence ppv event!

  • I have no interest in Broner. Although he initially seemed to have some promise copying Floyd Mayweather’s boxing style, I simply could never get past his ignorant act. Also, as long as I live, I will never understand why any man would sport a staggeringly grotesque beard like the one Broner is wearing. My God. I’ll be glad when that ugly trend ends.

    • Probably made it PPV since Broner has many attorney fees and court costs to pay since his public antics seem to be in the mix.

  • This should be Pay-Per-View! Are you kidding? I’ll watch it for…..hmmmm….they’ll have to pay me at least twenty.

  • The fact that it’s called “BLK Prime” is all the reason I need to never in my life give them one penny.

  • Who knows what’s been going in Broners world these past few years, but age wise, he’s still young enough to turn it around. Would be a nice comeback story!…dream on, right? The fact this is PPV is crazy. You can blame nobody but yourself if come fight night, you paid to watch a blank screen.

  • I guess when your quality/talent drops below the level of network TV the only route to go is ppv. Almost feel sorry for the announce team and the soul-selling BS they’ll have to puke up calling/selling this loaded diaper.

    • Yes. 2 names from the past desperate for victory in a crossroads match-up. Live from Casino Magic in Bay St. Louis!!
