Welterweight Adrien Broner insists he ‘will fight anybody’, despite putting in a poor showing in the defeat to fellow American Shawn Porter in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Broner fell to his first career defeat against Marcos Maidana in 2013, but had shown signs of a recovery as he put together a run of three victories heading into Saturday’s bout.

However, the talkative American failed to deliver the goods at the MGM Grand and was outclassed from start to finish by his superior opponent.

The 25-year-old did little or nothing for 11 rounds as he looked to utilise underhand tactics by holding and trying to slow the pace of the fight.

The former WBA welterweight champion was subsequently deducted a point in the 11th round before he attempted to launch an unlikely comeback in the 12th.

Porter was sent to the canvas in the final round after Broner landed a solid left hook, but the winner was able to get back to his feet before the referee finished his count.

The judges scored the fight at 114-112, 115-111 and 118-108 in Porter’s favour to take Broner’s professional record to 32-2.

Despite being outmanoeuvred on the night Broner has vowed to come back fighting and insists he is an ‘animal’.
Broner said: “Listen, I still will fight anybody.

“It don’t matter, man. I’m a real animal. I’m an animal. This time I didn’t get the decision, but it’s OK. At the end of the day, everybody in here will take my autograph and take my picture.”
