Adrien Broner Faces Accusations of Faking Intoxication After Women Sample His Drink

Adrien Broner’s latest live stream sparked fresh debate when two women sitting with the former four-weight world champion sampled his drink and immediately claimed his cup contained juice rather than alcohol.

“My mouth is so spotless one hundred percent. You not even drinking. You scamming us. It’s just juice!” one of the women declared after taking a swig from Broner’s cup.

The clip quickly spread across social media, with many viewers questioning whether the former champion had been pretending to be drunk after weeks of streams dominated by apparent drinking.

Broner’s streaming career has become known as much for alcohol as boxing.

Almost every stream seems to feature drinks close at hand, with the former champion often appearing heavily intoxicated. Previous broadcasts have shown Broner gagging while drinking, looking close to being unwell and even appearing to pass out on camera.

Those moments prompted growing concern throughout boxing. As WBN previously reported, Ryan Garcia publicly urged Broner to stop drinking after seeing clips from the streams, while Gervonta Davis went as far as making a wellness check on the former world titleholder.

Broner’s recent revelation that he received a check worth almost $400,000 from one of his ancient fights also generated concern, with many fans fearing the money would disappear as quickly as it arrived.

Drink Debate

After tasting Broner’s drink and insisting it contained only juice, viewers immediately began questioning whether the former champion had exaggerated his condition during previous streams.

Others weren’t convinced, noting that the women themselves appeared to have enjoyed a few drinks during the evening.

Whatever viewers choose to believe, the episode is another bizarre chapter in Broner’s streaming career.

If the women were right, the footage offered a reassuring moment after weeks of broadcasts that had prompted widespread concern about Broner’s wellbeing.

The youngest four-weight world champion in boxing history has found a way to rebuild his finances after earlier money troubles, but for many supporters, Broner’s health matters far more than another comeback fight.

Richardson Hitchins Reveals His Decision to Choose Zuffa Over Matchroom

“I had deals from different people. I had deals from DAZN, the network itself. Golden Boy, we spoke to. Top Rank was reaching out. I also was in talks about signing back with Eddie, but it didn’t get to happen,” said Hitchins to Mr. Verzace.

Zuffa ultimately separated itself from the competition with both its financial offer and its long-term vision for his career.

“To be sincere, Zuffa gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. A lot of zeros,” Hitchins said. “They see my career the way I see it for myself.”

Hitchins explained that one of his biggest frustrations during his time with previous promoters at Matchroom was never being allowed to establish himself in his home market despite being one of Modern York’s top fighters.

“Being in a meeting with Dana White and Nick Khan, I was vocal and see-through about how I never really got promoted the way I wanted to get promoted,” Hitchins said. “You see a lot of fighters like Shakur Stevenson when they were coming up, they’d be fighting a lot on the East Coast. Boots Ennis is always on the East Coast, Philly, Atlantic City.”

“I felt like when I was with different promoters, they had me all around the United States, but never really home, around the tri-state area to build my name. Zuffa gave me their word to lend a hand me build my name, especially around my home area and eventually around the world.”

Hitchins acknowledged that Matchroom attempted to repair the relationship before he entered free agency, but negotiations ultimately stalled after a planned January bout against Jermaine Ortiz was scrapped and another proposed fight with Oscar Duarte never materialized.

“We tried to reconcile,” Hitchins said. “We spoke. We sat down. We was in agreement, and things kind of got weird.”

Hitchins will make his Zuffa Boxing debut on July 26 when he faces Ricardo Salas at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in Modern York. The bout marks his first appearance since moving up to the welterweight division after vacating the IBF airy welterweight title.

With Dana White and Nick Khan promising to build the promotion around recognizable stars, Hitchins believes the move finally gives him the opportunity to become a major attraction in the city where his professional career began.

Emiliano Vargas Edges Closer to Shakur Stevenson with Next Fight Opportunity

The latest rankings leave Emiliano (18-0, 15 KOs) as the organization’s highest-rated available contender behind the champion.

The son of former world champion Fernando Vargas has built his reputation with an aggressive, fan-friendly style and knockout power, stopping 15 of his 18 opponents. His most recent victory came last Saturday, when he halted Bryce Mills in four rounds, continuing the momentum that has carried him steadily up the rankings.

While becoming the WBO’s No. 1 contender does not automatically guarantee an immediate title shot, it places Vargas in prime position should the organization decide to enforce a mandatory defense or if Shakur elects to face the unbeaten contender. Shakur won the WBO delicate welterweight title by defeating Teofimo Lopez in January and has since become one of boxing’s biggest names across four weight classes.

For Vargas, the timing could hardly be better.

At just 22 years ancient, he is still one of the youngest contenders in the division, yet his ranking now puts him alongside established championship-level names. A fight with Shakur would represent a massive leap in competition, but it would also provide the kind of career-defining opportunity few prospects receive this early.

Top Rank could choose to give Vargas another developmental fight before matching him with Stevenson. At 22, Vargas has plenty of time, and a title fight against one of boxing’s most technically skilled champions would represent a significant jump in class.

Still, Vargas has already cleared one of the biggest hurdles in boxing.

Vargas has now climbed as high as he can in the WBO rankings without holding the title. If Stevenson fulfills his obligations as champion and the WBO orders a mandatory defense, Vargas is now in position to be called.

Ariel Helwani Discloses Nick Khans Participation in London Boxing Summit

“I can tell you that Dana White wasn’t there. I can tell you that Nick Khan did speak to these individuals. I do not know why a group picture wasn’t taken,” Helwani said on his AH Show. “From what I understand, there was a group discussion.”

The comments came after Turki initially included Zuffa among the companies represented at the meeting before editing his post to remove the name. When EverythingBoxing’s Darshan Desai questioned the change on X, Turki responded by saying he owns 60 percent of Zuffa and serves as chairman of its board before adding, “Give the phone back to Helwani.”

Helwani dismissed the suggestion that he had any involvement in Desai’s reporting.

“I’ve never told Darshan to write anything. Absolutely absurd,” Helwani said. “I’ve never told anyone to write anything or not write something… certainly not on Twitter.”

He added that he was surprised to be mentioned at all.

“I’m not really sure what the beef is with me,” said Helwani about Turki,

Helwani also offered his own assessment of the summit, questioning whether the rival promoters involved are genuinely interested in ending the public dispute that has dominated boxing in recent weeks.

“Does anyone think that Nick Khan, Eddie Hearn, Frank Warren, Spencer Brown, any of these people, are any of them looking for peace?” Helwani asked. “It seems like the only one who is actually pushing for this is Turki.”

Rather than seeing the meeting as a sign that tensions have eased, Helwani believes many of the sport’s power brokers still relish the competition.

“It doesn’t seem like the people involved in this picture are actually wanting peace.”

Turki has yet to reveal whether any formal agreements emerged from the meeting, saying only that discussions lasted more than four hours and hinting that “substantial surprises” are still to come.
