Undefeated Nigerian boxer Temitope โ€œTNTโ€ Ademulure (5-0) has issued a direct challenge to former four-division world champion Adrien โ€œThe Problemโ€ Broner, declaring himself ready to face the American veteran. Ademulure is open to fighting either in the United States or on home soil at the Arena National Stadium in Lagos.

Adrien Broner has spent his whole career telling the world that he is โ€˜The Problem.โ€™ But every problem has a solution. In boxing, when you want to clear an obstacle, you use the most explosive element available. I am here to prove to the world that this problem can be solved with TNT.

โ€” Temitope AdemulureChallenging Adrien Broner and asserting his fighting style.

The challenge comes ahead of Prizefighting.tvโ€™s upcoming โ€œFight For Libertyโ€ event. Ademulure, recognized for his power and undefeated record, believes he possesses the skills to present Broner with his most difficult challenge to date. "Adrien Broner has spent his whole career telling the world that he is โ€˜The Problem.โ€™ But every problem has a solution," Ademulure stated. "In boxing, when you want to clear an obstacle, you use the most explosive element available. I am here to prove to the world that this problem can be solved with TNT."

Ademulure emphasized that the location of the potential fight is not a concern. "I donโ€™t care about the passport stamps," he said. "If he wants to come to Nigeria and see what real African power feels like, the gates of Lagos are open. If he wants me to come to the USA and take care of business on his home turf, get my visa ready. I will happily knock him out in the Americas or right here at home. A canvas is a canvas, and he will look the same staring up at the lights in either hemisphere."
