LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Legendary boxing promoter Don King said former four-division champion Adrien Broner's desire to return to the pinnacle of the sport reminds him of the fire that burned inside all-time great Muhammad Ali.

Broner, 33, has vowed to win a title again, and to do so, he will first need a convincing victory over Bill Hutchinson when they square off in a 10-round welterweight fight in Miami on Friday that will be streamed on FITE.
