By Allan Fox: Former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be making his lightweight debut on November 17th against a still to be determined opponent in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Also on the card will be a fight between heavyweight contenders Seth Mitchell and Johnathon Banks.
Golden Boy Promotions wants to try and match the 23-year-old Broner up with WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco but it remains to be seen whether they can put that fight together. Recently, WBC interim welterweight champion Robert Guerrero and Broner had exchanged words and it looked like there could be a fight put together between them after Broner told Guerrero to send a contract over so he could sign for a fight. However, it doesn’t look like their mutual promoters at Golden Boy wants to waste the two of them on each other, so we can look for Broner to be instead put in with a lightweight for his November 17th fight.
