Adrien Broner has credited a shift in mentality for getting him out of a dark place ahead of his boxing return next month.
Former four-weight world champion Broner, 33, makes his return to the ring on February 25 after a two-year absence against short-notice replacement Michael Williams Jr who has himself replaced stand-in Hank Lundy. Once a protege of ring legend Floyd Mayweather, Broner's career has been plagued by inactivity in recent years which has largely been because of his mental health battles.
It has been a tough past 18 months for 'AB', who admitted he used to drink alcohol every day and was eventually mandated into a rehabilitation program. Broner is now in a much better mindset heading into his fight against Lundy and credited boxing for saving him from a slump.
