Boxing bad boy Adrien Broner arrested and handcuffed at Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder weigh-in for ‘breaching venue ban’ – The Sun

CONTROVERSIAL boxer Adrien Broner was arrested as he attended the weigh-in for Tyson Fury's rematch against Deontay Wilder.

According to TMZ Sports, the former four-weight world champion is banned from entering the MGM Grand Garden.

Broner allegedly refused to leave the event, and was then detained by security before the police were called.

Video footage shows the 30-year-old being led away in handcuffs by Las Vegas Metro officers.

Hours later Broner, who last fought in a defeat to the legendary Manny Pacquiao in January last year, posted on Twitter that he had been released "out the slammer".

He then asked his followers "what's popping tonight Vegas?"

Broner is no stranger to courting controversy for his actions OUT of the boxing ring.

MESSAGED 16-YEAR-OLD

Last month he insisted he made an "honest mistake" after he was exposed for messaging 16-year-old rapper Bhad Bhabie.

The American, famous for her "Cash me out side, how 'bout dah" catchphrase, shared a screenshot of the 30-year-old's message.

Broner, who has held world championships in four weight classes, messaged her: "Text me crazy girl."

Fans jumped to her defence by calling out Broner and even tagging the FBI and Atlanta Police in the post.

But Broner, nicknamed "The Problem", has insisted he was not aware of her age when he got in touch with her.

NO STRANGER TO CONTROVERSY

Speaking to the Shade Room, he said the incident was an "honest mistake."

He added: "Nobody wants to date a kid.

"But I fault Instagram for not having people's age on their profile.

"I thought she was grown the way she out here moving."

In December last year he was ordered to pay over £600,000 to a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by him at a nightclub.

The 30-year-old pleaded guilty to assault and unlawful restraint in April after the woman, 35, claimed the welterweight lay on her and forced his tongue into her mouth in Cleveland last year.

And in March the 30-year-old threatened to shoot gay men "in the f****** face" if they touch him during a vile homophobic rant.

In October 2017, Broner was cited for misdemeanour battery for allegedly choking a waitress at a nightclub in Las Vegas.

And in February 2018 he was arrested for allegedly groping a woman at a shopping mall at Atlanta, but the charge was dropped due to a lack of evidence.
