More than two years on from his last fight, Adrien Broner steps into the ring for a comeback bout that few had seen coming. 'The Problem' has spent much of the past two years living up to his nickname, and needs to perform against the little-known Jovenie Santiago if he's to avoid going down in the history books as little more than a Floyd Mayweather tribute act.

It's been quite a downfall for Broner, once ranked amongst the best pound for pound boxers in the world, but with two defeats and a draw from his last three bouts. The most recent of those was a defeat to Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in January 2019 - a world away from the Mohegan Sun Arena.
But, regardless of whether you think he deserves it or not, he's now got a chance to resurrect his image. In the opposite corner is undefeated Puerto Rican boxer Jovenie Santiago, who like Broner is also 31.
This is the first time 'El Lobito' (The Wolf) has fought in the US, and though he's relatively unknown he has good pedigree, boasting a 14-0-1 record, with 10 of those victories coming by knockout.

Who is Adrian 'The Problem' Broner?
Once one of the biggest draws in boxing, Adrien Broner had a reputation for being just as brilliant inside the ropes as he was a trouble-maker outside them.
The 31-year-old was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and turned professional in May 2008, after a stellar 300-19 amateur career.
Broner's peak years spanned 2011-2016, during which he held world titles in four weight classes, including the WBO Super Featherweight title, WBC Lightweight Title, WBA Welterweight title, and WBA Light Welterweight title.
But since then, a multitude of issues in his personal life have coincided with a steady decline in the ring, and Broner has won just one of his past four fights, beating Adrían Granados in February 2017 - four years ago.
He comes into tonight's fight with a 33-4-1 record, with 24 of his victories by knockout.
Who is Jovanie 'El Lobito' Santiago?
Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, six months after Broner, Jovanie Santiago turned professional a year before his opponent, but has fought 23 fewer fights.
He has a near-perfect record of 14-0-1, with 10 knockout victories, and will be looking to make his mark in the US, where he's fighting for the first time.
Though Broner is the favourite, it's Santiago who has the height and reach advantage, but can he make them count?

Alongside the intriguing main event, there's also a strong supporting card featuring former heavyweight world champion contender Dominic Brezeale, who's looking to bounce back from a chastening defeat at the hands of Deontay Wilder.
It was only the second loss of a professional career that's spanned nearly 10 years, but it was a humiliating one, with the American hitting the canvas in the first round.
