Adrien Broner Receives New Opponent For BLK Prime

Adrien Broner will now face Hank Lundy in February.

Lundy replaces Ivan Redkach, who was forced out of the bout.

Broner vs. Lundy is the headline fight for the February 25 BLK Prime card. The event takes place on pay-per-view from the Gateway Center in Atlanta.

“I’m glad they found a worthy replacement in Hank Lundy,” said Broner, from his training camp in South Florida. “Unfortunately, Redkach had to pull out, but I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. This is the AB show and I’m on a mission to bust up everyone in my way.

“Hank Lundy is in trouble. I’m going to put a beating on him.”

Broner, the former four-weight world champion and Cincinnati native, has established himself as one of the sport’s most exciting and dynamic fighters today. He captured world titles in four weight classes.

Lundy, hailing from Philadelphia, PA, is a seasoned veteran with an impressive resume having fought Terence Crawford, Jose Zepeda, and Viktor Postol. He’s known for his relentless pressure and never-say-die approach.

“Fighting Broner is something I’ve envisioned for a long time and now this opportunity has presented itself to me,” Lundy said. “Broner has established himself as one of the best fighters in the world, but he hasn’t been active, so I’m going to take full advantage of his inactivity.

“Everyone knows that I will fight anyone and the big names run from me. So I’m telling everyone right now, I’m going to beat the shit out of this can man.”
