The WBC cruiserweight title fight between world champion Norair “The Dark Horse” Mikaeljan (27-2, 12 KOs) and number one challenger Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (20-1, 19 KOs) will now headline promoter Don King’s June 7th card at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The previously announced main event for the WBC People’s Championship featuring Adrien “The Problem” Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) against Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (16-1-1, 10 KOs) isn’t officially off, but it looks shakey.
According to DKP, the bout will happen “…if Broner shows up. Blair will be there.”
Other matchups include:
- WBA Continental USA middleweight champion Ian “The Young General” Green (18-2, 12 KOs) defending his title against Roy Barringer (10-4, 6 KOs).
- WBA NABA light heavyweight champion Ahmed “The American Pharoah” Elbiali (23-1, 18 KOs) defending against Roamer Alexis Angulo (28-3, 23 KOs).
- Unbeaten lightweights Antonio Perez (9-0, 5 KOs) and Antonio Williams (16-0-1, 7 KOs) for the WBC International title.
- Heavyweight Cassius Chaney (23-1, 16 KOs) against Michael “The Bounty” Hunter (21-1-2, 15 KOs) for Chaney’s WBA Continental North American Championship belt.
- Also, De’von Williams (4-0, 4 KOs) will meet Travis Floyd in a super lightweight attraction and Michael Oliveira (21-2, 16 KOs) in a super middleweight attraction vs. TBA.
The role of Mitch Green will now be played by Adrien Broner!
That’s hysterical
Broner is so done his own mother don’t even know him anymore. He’s fought only 5 times in the past 7 years and has gone 2-2-1 in 7 years smh
No surprise. Broner has gotta be a promoter’s nightmare!
Told you! I never count on broner showing up. I bet the odds of him not fighting are higher than fighting.
Don’t really need to see Broner fight again, certainly won’t be losong any sleep over this. Broners hair must be so messy without his Dad brushing it for him
I’d just read a story earlier this week that Kevin Cunningham was out as Broner’s trainer and I’m not surprised by this (wouldn’t have been surprised by it anyway). I don’t know what’s going on with him, but I’m not shocked if he never fights again.
Is anybody actually going to pay for this circus? This is not even worth watching even, if it was a free national tv broadcast event! What is don king thingking, for Godsake! Broney has been done from boxing for over 5 years! Perhaps, he should call out jake paul, KSI or any of them boxerwannabe social media clowns who that boxing is a game and have brought disgrace to the sport of boxing!
– Agree.
– Anyone who buys this should be tarred and feathered…..
Why? These are all competitive fights? Maybe not the most important fights in the sport, but they’re good matchups on paper
AB = About Busted……
Chaney vs Hunter is an interesting match
Should be a good win for Hunter, if he’s in shape.
Rozicki will KO Noel within 3 rounds
Will this card be televised or streamed?
Never was a fan of Broner but I’ve been rooting for him of late just because everybody loves a good comeback story, but the guy is hopeless! He blows it time and time again. He is done. He is only what-34 years old? No spring chicken, but by todays standards, still young enough to make some noise. I knew he was a lost cause when I read on here that he was arrested for threatening a McDonalds employee for not cooking his burger correctly. I mean-how much of a piece of shit do you have to be to do that?
The WBC people’s championship? You can’t make this shit up.
