Adrien Jerome Broner (born July 28, 1989) is an American professional boxer. He is a former world champion in four weight classes, having held the WBO junior lightweight title from 2011 to 2012, the WBC lightweight title from 2012 to 2013, the WBA welterweight title in 2013, and the WBA light welterweight title from 2015 to 2016.
As of July 2018, Broner is ranked as the world's fourth best light welterweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and the eighth best active welterweight by BoxRec. In December 2012, The Ring magazine ranked him as the world's fifth best active boxer, pound for pound.
Broner grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and started boxing at the age of six. He has said that the sport saved him from a life on the streets.
Broner turned professional on May 31, 2008 and scored three consecutive first-round knockouts against Allante Davis, David Warren Huffman and Ramon Flores. In Broner's fourth fight he faced Terrance Jett at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on the undercard of the Ricky Hatton vs Paulie Malignaggi fight. Broner defeated Jett with a stoppage in the sixth round. In Broner's fifth professional fight and final of 2008, he faced Eric Ricker with a no-contest decision.
