Adrien Broner has ignited a social media firestorm by hurling vulgar insults towards undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner. This personal attack appears to be an escalation of an existing feud between Broner and Devin Haney‘s father Bill Haney.
This has even called for female undisputed champion Claressa Shields’ attention as she felt sorry for her friend-turned-rival. She talked about how her past shouldn’t have been spoken about and that Baumgardner has entangled with a man who has no filter.

A potential future fight has been brewing between two American boxing champions, Claressa Shields and Alycia Baumgardner. Shields publicly taunted Baumgardner, promising a dominant victory if they ever meet in the ring. This challenge came despite Baumgardner’s current suspension stemming from an adverse finding in a drug test. Baumgardner maintains her innocence and claimed in November 2023 that independent testing exonerates her.
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.

Since then, they’ve been going back-and-forth against each other, however the recent verbal altercation of Baumgardner with Broner had even the champion backpedal on her beef. Shields wrote, “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.”

The upcoming super lightweight title fight between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia on April 20th is facing uncertainty. Concerns over Garcia’s recent behavior has prompted Haney’s team to explore alternatives. Adrien Broner, a former four-division world champion, has emerged as a potential replacement. Bill Haney sees Broner’s experience and name recognition as a safer option compared to a lesser-known fighter.
With time running out before the DAZN pay-per-view event, a decision on Garcia’s participation and a potential replacement will need to be made soon. So, 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.”

Furthermore, 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.” After this, they both participated in trash-talking with each other, and Bill tried to convince Broner to fight his son. What are your thoughts about this?
