Adrien Broner hospitalized for pancreatitis during livestream
Former four-division boxing champion Adrien Broner was hospitalized for pancreatitis following a period of heavy alcohol consumption. The incident occurred during a livestream, where Broner was seen being carried out on a stretcher by his security team while assistants attempted to obstruct the view of the camera.
Following his discharge from a Las Vegas hospital, reports indicate that Broner returned to drinking within hours. Streamer DeenTheGreat expressed grave concern for the 37-year-old, stating, “If he continues to drink too much, he is going to die.” Broner was later observed in a heavily intoxicated state during a broadcast in Atlanta, leading to further alarm among his associates, including Ray J.
This health crisis follows a pattern of erratic behavior and public struggles with alcoholism that have sidelined the fighter since his loss to Blair Cobbs two years ago. Despite recent claims that he intended to get sober for a boxing comeback, his recent medical emergency and immediate return to alcohol consumption have raised significant doubts regarding his physical ability to train or compete.
