Former boxing superstar Adrien Broner sparked serious concerns Saturday night after appearing unresponsive backstage at a Los Angeles concert, prompting emergency medical workers and friends to help carry him out of the venue.
The frightening incident unfolded November 7 during rapper Skilla Baby’s concert in downtown Los Angeles, with disturbing footage captured during a livestream hosted by rapper Blueface.
Broner, 37, appeared disoriented while sitting on a backstage couch before slumping over, according to video footage reported by TMZ. His condition prompted an emergency medical worker to intervene as people nearby attempted to help him.
The situation grew increasingly concerning when Broner appeared unable to leave the backstage area without assistance.
An EMS worker and several of his friends lifted the former champion from the couch and helped carry him toward a staircase. As they made their way downstairs, Broner appeared to drift in and out of responsiveness before eventually regaining enough composure to walk with assistance.
Once downstairs, emergency personnel and friends helped Broner into a wheelchair and escorted him outside to a waiting vehicle.
It remains unclear what caused the alarming episode, whether Broner was hospitalized or what his current condition is. TMZ reported that it contacted his booking agent for comment but had not received a response.
The incident comes just months after another troubling episode involving the former champion.
In August, Broner was reportedly hospitalized after an incident during a livestream. His streaming partner, DeenTheGreat, subsequently said the boxer had been diagnosed with pancreatitis and warned that his drinking had become a serious health concern.
Broner later publicly discussed taking a break from alcohol and working toward improving his health. However, there has been no confirmation that Saturday’s incident was connected to his previous medical problems or alcohol use.
Once among boxing’s brightest stars, the Cincinnati native captured world championships in four weight divisions, earning a reputation for his explosive fighting style and outspoken personality.
His achievements made him one of the sport’s most recognizable personalities, although his career has also been marked by personal difficulties and controversies outside the ring.
Saturday’s troubling footage has once again placed the former champion’s well-being in the spotlight.
As of Monday, November 9, no verified public update establishing the cause of the incident or Broner’s current medical condition was found in the reporting reviewed.
