Adrien Broner is a four-weight world champion but has hit the alcohol very hard in recent times and is all over the place.
Doing streaming appearances and so on.
On strange streaming platforms and shows, very over weight, saying he is coming back to boxing and so on.
Even calling out Floyd Mayweather to a fight recently.
Some things to know on this on American former boxer Adrien Broner from Ohio:
- Viral 2026 livestream showed him intoxicated, asking fans for money for a ride home.
- Offered to shave his beard for $1,000 on camera—admitting he is broke.
- Ryan Garcia publicly urged him to stop drinking and offered help.
- Suffered pancreatitis and gallbladder surgery linked to heavy drinking.
- Called out Mayweather for a $100M exhibition while holding a drink on a livestream.
- Admitted to Mayweather: “If I would have listened to you, I wouldn’t be in this trouble.”

- Seen on livestreams gagging and nearly vomiting while continuing to drink.
- Gervonta Davis called his situation “heartbreaking.”
- Hasn’t fought since a 2024 loss to Blair Cobbs—only 2 fights since 2021.
At this point it is not clear if Broner will try to get back in a boxing ring again.
People forget that former American five-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather once took him under his wing years ago as well.
Mayweather once called him his protege back in the day.
Look at where both Floyd Mayweather and Adrien Broner are now?
Broner would be well advised not to take advice from Floyd Mayweather.
