Adrien Broner will be required to wear a mouthguard during his fight against Blair Cobbs Friday night, so there’s a chance the welterweight bout (147 pounds) will be suitable viewing for all ages.
Adrien Broner and Blair Cobbs meet tonight in a Don King and Heavyweight Factory pay-per-view main event from Florida, for a fake title the WBC invented called the “People’s Championship” in a 10-round welterweight bout.
The show will start on Triller PPV at 6 pm ET, so yes, there will be a lot of fights, and the main event will probably go on around the same time main events always go on on Saturday nights.
Former three-weight world champion Adrien Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) returns to the ring opposite Blair Cobbs (16-1-1, 10 KOs) on Friday, June 7. The 10-round bout gets going at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Live coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET on Triller TV.
Broner at the height of his career was a popular draw, winning his first 27 professional fights. “The Problem” held stints as WBO super featherweight, WBC lightweight, WBA light welterweight, and WBA welterweight champion. However, he stepped away from fighting following a loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2019. Despite a slew of headlines outside the ring, Broner made a comeback in 2021 and most recently defeated Bill Hutchinson last June.
Cobbs makes his first fight appearance since 2022 when he beat previous light welterweight champion Maurice Hooker. “The Flair” landed three knockdowns en route to the unanimous decision victory. With over 11 years of professional experience, Cobbs once held the WBC-NABF welterweight and junior welterweight titles.

Broner, a former four-division champion, has only fought twice since losing a welterweight title shot against Manny Pacquiao in 2019. Decision wins over Jovanie Sanitago and Bill Hutchinson have shown he can still put on a show against lower competition.
Broner will carry the No. 14 ranking among welterweights in the WBC and is the WBA's 10th-ranked 147-pounder despite his inactivity.
Cobbs isn't ranked in the top 15 and hasn't been on the world title stage, but won the WBC-NABF junior welterweight and welterweight titles. He'll bring a 16-1-1 record to the ring with another test for Broner to see if he has one more title run in him.
Broner isn't the only one who will be coming off a long layoff. Cobbs hasn't fought in two years, doubling Broner's time away.
Cobbs might not have reached the same heights as the former world champion, but he is a legitimate opponent with more bonafides than the two men Broner has fought after the Pacquiao lost.
So much of Broner's career has been defined by where his head is. Legal issues outside of the ring have kept him out of the ring before and it's fair to wonder what he has left at 34 years old.
The two driving questions of this fight are whether he still has those skills and whether Cobbs is good enough to take advantage if he doesn't. Cobbs is also 34 years old and coming off an even longer layoff. It's obviously the biggest opportunity of his career to beat a fighter with as much name recognition as Broner.
