Speaking to Brian Custer on the Last Stand Podcast Broner revealed heād be more than happy to fight Redkach and vowed to āf*ck him up,ā he said.
āMan, I would love to go in there and stop him. Itād be a good fight. You know, especially me coming off, Iāve been off for what, two years? I donāt care if we fight. I mean, as long as my money right, we gonna have a hell of a fight. Iām gonna f–k him up, though. He asking for it. He been begging for it.ā
The Showtime sports and event programming boss Stephen Espinoza recently told Boxing Scene that the plan was for Broner to return to the ring in January 2021 against āsomeone credibleā.
āWeāre in the process of talking about opponents,ā Espinoza said. āItās been two years since heās fought, so weāre in discussions about the opponent. But it will be somebody credible.ā
Redkach is certainly credible. The 34-year-old is just coming off a unaminous decision loss to former two-division champion Danny Garcia. Before that Redkach picked up the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Devon Alexander.
