Adrien Broner called out several top boxers on his Instagram page
Former boxing champion, Adrien Broner, who
currently sits in jail on a probation violation, is due to
be released April 22, 2016, after a 10-day stint for
reckless driving in Ohio. The case originally stems from a
driving under the influence charge he incurred in January
2015. A few weeks ago, Broner called out several top boxers,
revealing he wants to fight them. However, there is a
problem.
Adrien Broner
Broner is also face an assault and robbery
charge that could land him in jail for up to 10-years. As
Broner is 26, these are vital years of his boxing career.
Audiences on social networking are already questioning his
commitment to boxing. His public image is not in the best
way either, as Broner is rough around the edges and has been
engaging in high profile.
Adrien Broner and fiancée Arie
Broner currently has two options in the
assault and robbery case threatening his career. He can
settle the lawsuit filed by the victim in an effort to show
the prosecutor the matter has been amicably resolved and
throw himself on the mercy of the court, in an effort to
avoid a long jail sentence (in what is a long shot,
requesting years on probation). The other option is pleading
not guilty (which Broner has in court) then watching and
seeing what the prosecutor has up his sleeve in determining
if he can win the case or if it is best to take a plea deal.
Adrien Broner's mug shot
Broner needs to take some time to reflect on
his life, what he has accomplished and where he wants to go.
He also needs to appreciate his family and treat his fiancée
in a kinder manner. The two have engaged in very public
spats on social networking and he stated things that broke
her heart accusing her of cheating (which she denies, but he
has been publicly caught doing) and stating he is happy she
miscarried one of their babies. That must have hurt her.
Life is too short for people to treat each other that way.
They need to try to make their engagement and potential
marriage work. However, that's the keyword with Broner -
potential. He has so much potential, but the choices he is
making is squandering it. I don't want him to fail. It's
time for him to take his life more seriously.
