Broner’s trainer, Michael Stafford, told RingTV.com he envisions Broner fighting in December, possibly at Barclays Center in Brooklyn before the bout with Burns.
“We’ll hopefully be fighting before we face Burns,” Stafford said in a phone interview on Tuesday. “It’s been awhile since Adrien fought. He wants to get back into the ring as soon as possible. With the fight with Burns happening in February, we’d like to fight before that.”
Stafford said Broner sparred 12 rounds yesterday and he’s itching to go. “You know Adrien, when he fights he can’t wait to get back into the ring again,” the trainer said. “He hasn’t fought in a while, so he wants to get something going.”
