It starts in 10 minutes. As he crosses the intersection at 15th and Naismith, Matt, a sophomore from Hays, pushes full speed toward the paved stretch between Budig and Marvin Halls — only five minutes away from Wescoe. lifeHow four Matt motors up Wescoe’s wheelchair ramp, only to be foiled by a set of heavy glass doors he can’t open. This entrance has no handicap-accessible buttons or automatic door openers, so he patiently waits outside, knowing he will be late unless someone students sees him and opens the door. Although Matt has learned to cope with frustration, these moments remind him of conquered the price he pays to be a Jayhawk. Matt became a partial quadriplegic after an accident on a playground damaged his campus, spine when he was 6 months old.

    FOUR-DIVISION WORLD CHAMPION ADRIEN BRONER RETURNS TO TAKE ON LONDON’S ASHLEY THEOPHANE ON PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON SPIKE FRIDAY, APRIL 1 FROM THE DC ARMORY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Tickets On Sale Friday At 9 A.M. ET! WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 29, 2016) – Four-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner (31-2, 23 KOs) defends his 140-pound world title against Ashley “The Treasure” Theophane (39-6-1, 11 KOs) Friday, April 1 on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike from the DC Armory in Washington, D.C. with televised coverage beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT. At 26-years-old, Broner is one of the most accomplished, and outspoken, young stars in the sport today. After picking up world titles at 130, 135 and 147-pounds, Broner earned a belt in a fourth weight division last October when he defeated tough Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev via a stoppage in the 12th and final round. Broner has spent portions of his training camp in Washington, D.C. for several years and now he will be fighting for the first time in the nation’s capital. “Ashley Theophane is a world class fighter and this is going to be a tough fight for me,” said Broner. “I’m very excited to fight in Washington, D.C. My following is huge in D.C., it’s my second home, and I think we’re going to give the fans what they’re looking for. I want to fight the best in the 140-pound weight division and Ashley Theophane is one of the best.” London’s Theophane enters this fight on a six-bout winning streak and has had a long road towards his first world title opportunity.
