According to Golden Boy CEO, Richard Schaefer, Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s), has exercised a stipulated rematch clause for a second showdown with Argentinian puncher, Marcos Rene Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s).

Broner, 24, lost his WBA World welterweight title and unbeaten record to the Argentinian in December and has since then expressed a desire, via Twitter, to fight 'El Chino’ again, saying that a second fight would be different to the first. 

When the pair met at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, last month, 'The Problem’ hit the canvas for the first time in his career during the second round. Broner was also dropped for a second time in the eighth round, but showed plenty of heart and determination to the win fight in what was an absorbing contest. 

Maidana, 30, recently took to twitter to clarify that nothing has been confirmed on who he will fight next or a date and plans to rest and weigh up his options. 

There are many in the boxing world who feel that the move to rematch Maidana could spell disaster for Broner, but flip the coin and many feel that the American would take the Argentinian more seriously and would shine in a second instalment.
