Social Media Erupts as Adrien Broner’s Vulgar Tirade Against Alycia Baumgardner Sparks Outrage
In the latest twist of the ongoing boxing saga, Adrien Broner’s verbal assault on undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner has sparked outrage across social media platforms. The vitriolic attack, seemingly stemming from a feud between Broner and Devin Haney’s father, Bill Haney, has drawn the attention of none other than female boxing champion Claressa Shields.
Shields, who herself has been embroiled in a public spat with Baumgardner, momentarily set aside their personal beef to express sympathy for her rival. In a heartfelt tweet, Shields lamented the situation, acknowledging the unfairness of Baumgardner engaging in a verbal altercation with someone like Broner, known for his lack of filter. Shields emphasized the importance of not dredging up individuals’ pasts, highlighting the growth and evolution that everyone undergoes.
The controversy unfolded amidst uncertainty surrounding the upcoming super lightweight title fight between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia. With Garcia’s participation in question due to concerns over his recent behavior, Broner has emerged as a potential replacement. Bill Haney, seeking a reliable contender for his son, engaged in a back-and-forth with Broner, questioning his commitment to the bout and urging him to step up to the challenge.
As tensions mount and the boxing world awaits a resolution, the intersection of personal vendettas, professional ambitions, and social media drama continues to captivate audiences. The fallout from Broner’s inflammatory remarks serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play in the realm of professional sports, where reputations hang in the balance with every word uttered.
I ain’t gone lie… I hate this for her. Only because she arguing with a person who has no filter…. I just hope he don’t post no footage. That’s not fair we all have a past and grow from that.

Bill Haney called out Broner and said, “If it was going to be on 4/20, is you going to be there? Is he going to be there if it was on 4/20? Can we depend on you, AB, because they say the last guy [Ryan Garcia] went crazy. Since you left without the dough, and want to step up on 4/20. Let’s see if everybody else [Ryan] said they were going to do and didn’t.”
he continued, “I do respect you, AB, so, I won’t be blindsided by your decision. I don’t know who is going to be fighting on 4/20. I know Devin Haney is going to be there. He’s got the date.”
