Although Adrien Broner is sidelined with an injury, promoter Don King still has five action packed title fights on tap Saturday night.
King announced the People’s Championship boxing card at Casino Miami Jai Alai.
“We’ve got five spectacular and action-packed title fights ready for our boxing fans of South Florida,” said King. “And since we lost one title fight, we’ve set a holiday special price of $25 for this fantastic evening. It’s the People’s Championship.”
