Legendary boxing promoter Don King is confident Adrien Broner will pick up another world title in the future and backs him to beat Bill Hutchinson in their 10-round welterweight fight.
King says Broner’s bout with Hutchinson – which will be streamed live on FITE TV on Friday night – will be one of ‘the most exciting and provocative fights’ in history because of The Problem’s speed.
The legendary promoter has also said that Broner’s return to boxing will inspire the next generation of athletes given the controversies the 33-year-old had to overcome outside of the ring.
King – who is known for his own string of controversies – told Mail Sport how he opened up to Broner about his own issues to help advice and guide the former four-division champion.

‘Those four world titles are all in distinctive categories too. It's a remarkable record. It all speaks for itself. You don't have to brag; you don't have to do anything. The record speaks loud and clear.’
King finished by saying: ‘If he can rise to the occasion, it will be amazing. I want all the fans in the UK to tune in because it will be an eye opener. It's going to be a new day and that's why we have called it return to glory.’
Broner parted ways with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions and signed an agreement with streaming service BLK Prime. However, his comeback fight on BLK Prime fell through the cracks.
