However, seven days from the fight, ‘The Can Man’ decided to pull out of his comeback fight. Broner posted an official statement on Instagram:

He continued:

The fight is officially off, with Omar Figueroa yet to release a statement regarding the situation. However, Figueroa should understand his opponent’s problems very well since he took time off from boxing due to mental health issues himself.

Take a look at the post by Adrien Broner:

Will Adrien Broner fight again?

Following his announcement, many fans have been speculating whether the former four-division world champion will hang up his gloves.

Adrien Broner has revealed that he does plan to return to the ring. Broner has been going through a rough patch ever since he lost to Mikey Garcia back in 2017. However, it has been his exploits outside the ring that have hindered his performance more than anything.

For both Figueroa and Adrien Broner, this was a comeback fight, a fight to show the division and the boxing world that they are still world-class fighters. However, the comeback fight will have to wait for ‘The Can Man’ as he takes time off to focus on his mental wellbeing.
