Four-time boxing champion Adrien Broner was caught on video knocking a man out after he shoved a woman while in Las Vegas
Four-time boxing champion Adrien Broner was caught on video knocking a man out after he violently shoved a woman while in Las Vegas.
Moments before the incident, the 28-year-old boxer was calm while signing autographs and taking photos with fans near the MGM hotel on The Strip.
Video first obtained by TMZ shows Broner becoming upset, but it’s unclear why.
A woman attempted to calm him down, but that didn’t work and he appears to violently shove her.
He then punched a man who was nearby, sending him straight to the ground unconscious.
Security then appeared on the scene trying to speak with Broner, but they let him go, TMZ reported.
It’s unclear what led to the incident or if Broner knew the man.

He was arrested in April after being stopped by police while driving a car riddled by bullet holes, while he was charged with felonious assault and aggravated robbery following an incident at a Cincinnati bowling alley in 2016.
Hours later, Broner posted to Instagram, ‘Life is too short 4 all these F*CK UPS’.
This is not the first time Broner, who is 33-3 in his career with 24 knockouts, has had issues.
Back in May he was jailed in May for three days after failing to appear in court for part of his hearing into a disorderly conduct charge, relating to a 2014 incident at a bar in Kentucky, for which he received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty.
That was the latest in a line of troubling incidents involving the 29-year-old, who is a former four-division world champion and was once declared as Ring Magazine’s fifth-best pound-for-pound boxer on the planet.

The charges were eventually dropped after a prosecution witness failed to attend court.
There was concern in October when Broner took to Twitter and posted a number of alarming messages, in which appeared to be threats to commit suicide.
Alongside a picture of a gun, he wrote ‘I’m going home. I love ya’ll,’ while another message read ‘3pm I’m doing it. I’m sorry to my family and friends but I don’t want to be here no more. This s*** too much.’
His partner later posted on Snapchat to insist Broner was fine.
The father-of-five was last in the ring in July when he fought against Mikey Garcia.
He won his first world title at super featherweight in 2011, before winning at lightweight in 2012 and then welterweight a year later. His fourth division title came in 2014 when he beat Ashley Theophane for the vacant WBA world super lightweight belt.
