Former four-division world champion Adrien Broner was removed from a Skilla Baby concert in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night after appearing unresponsive. EMS workers and associates assisted the 37-year-old boxer, who was seen slumped on a couch in a livestream before being transported from the venue in a wheelchair.
Broner removed from DTLA venue
The incident took place during a performance in downtown Los Angeles, with footage captured on a livestream hosted by rapper Blueface, according to TMZ. In the video, Broner appeared lethargic before losing consciousness while seated on a couch. EMS personnel arrived on the scene to evaluate the former champion before he was lifted by staff and friends.
While moving toward a stairwell, Broner appeared to drift in and out of responsiveness. He eventually regained enough composure to walk the stairs with physical assistance. EMS workers and associates then guided him into a wheelchair to exit the venue and enter a waiting vehicle, as reported by Newsbreak.
Medical history and public concerns
The episode follows a series of documented health challenges for the Cincinnati native, who has been open about his struggles with alcohol. In August, Broner was transported via stretcher during a separate livestream event. According to Newsbreak, his streaming partner DeenTheGreat later stated that Broner had been hospitalized for pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas often associated with heavy alcohol consumption.
Following that hospitalization, Broner’s team and associates have expressed recurring concern regarding his well-being. Shortly after the August incident, reports from World Boxing News indicated Broner resumed drinking during a stream in Atlanta. Weeks later, Broner posted an update from a hospital bed, telling his followers he was beginning a 30-day cleanse.
“I’m starting a 30 day cleanse. Don’t offer me a drink,” Broner stated in a social media update following his August hospitalization.
Current status of the athlete
As of Sunday morning, there has been no official update from Broner or his representatives regarding his condition following the Saturday night concert. It remains unconfirmed whether he was transported to a local hospital or what specific medical factors triggered the episode, according to Newsbreak. TMZ reported that requests for comment sent to Broner’s booking agent have not yet received a response.
The professional trajectory of the former super featherweight and welterweight titleholder has frequently intersected with his public health struggles. While he previously promised fans that the “regular AB” would return following his recovery efforts in late summer, the events in downtown Los Angeles have renewed questions about his immediate health status.
