Adrien Broner news reveals the World Boxing Council (WBC) and its decision to lift the suspension imposed on Adrien "The Problem" Broner in May, due to a racially offensive remark.
"The Problem" last fought in May 3rd, against Mexican-American Carlos Molina, as one of the undercard fights for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana headliner. In his post-fight interview with Showtimte's Jim Gray, "The Problem" had something to say to his opponent, and calling himself "Can-Man".
"Anybody can get it. Afri-cans, I just beat the f--k out of a Mexi-can," Broner said in jest.
According to the report of The Las Vegas Review Journal on Thursday about the Adrien Broner news, "The Problem" has already released a public apology for his comments during his meeting with the Nevada Athletic Commission.
"I still want to entertain when I perform in the ring," Broner explained. "But I need to be more aware of the things I say from now on. I love performing here in Vegas."
"What's in the past is in the past," he continued. "I'm moving forward and hopefully I'll be back in Las Vegas to fight again in the near future."
In turn, the WBC did accept the fighter's apology, and has decided to lift the suspension they have previously imposed. They have released a written statement through RingTV.
"The suspension which was in place has been lifted and the WBC Ratings Committee has ranked him at number three in the super lightweight division," the statement reads. "Mr. Broner, a former WBC lightweight champion, is expected to understand his role in society while being a public figure and as a former champion, represent the organization which believes in human equality, fair play and has an ongoing campaign against bullying."
Meanwhile, Adrien Broner himself did clarify that the statements he made were all done in the spirit of fun and entertainment, and did not mean to offend anyone.
"I didn't mean any harm," Broner clarified. "It was more entertainment. If I hurt anybody with what I said, I'm sorry. I'll be sure it doesn't happen again."
"It's a maturity thing," he added. "I understand where they're coming from."
