Adrien Broner’s comeback has taken another bizarre turn after the former four-division world champion responded to what he called “fake” allegations by staging a twerking contest during his ongoing livestream.
Broner has spent much of the year rebuilding his career after publicly admitting he had hit rock bottom financially.
That comeback is now facing another test after a woman filed a lawsuit alleging sexual battery, assault and related claims involving the former champion.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed by Havana Saint. Broner has denied the allegations, describing them as “fake.”
Less than 24 hours after addressing the claims, Broner staged a twerking contest as part of his livestream, creating another viral moment for one of boxing’s most unpredictable personalities.
Broner Responds
Broner has been broadcasting much of his daily life since returning to the spotlight, allowing fans to follow his training and life outside the ring.
After the allegations became public, Broner suggested he could stop streaming if he believed people were trying to take advantage of his renewed financial position.
The fact Broner now streams his life around the clock could also become an important part of his defense, with much of what happens around him available for anyone to view.
Instead, he returned to the livestream less than a day later and held a twerking contest, creating another major talking point outside the ring.
Broner’s Comeback
Broner has been in the gym daily for a return after publicly struggling with alcohol earlier this year while streaming.
The former champion has documented his efforts to rebuild, giving fans an unusually open look at his life outside the ring.
His talent inside the ropes has rarely been questioned, but controversy has repeatedly interrupted his career.
Broner’s latest situation is another obstacle as he attempts to rebuild his career. For now, his comeback is sharing the spotlight with another controversy away from the ring.
