Adrien Broner has always been a brash competitor, but admitting to murder during a boxing press conference is a new extreme for him.
‘The Problem’ is preparing to make just his second walk to the ring in three years. The 34-year-old will return to the sport to face Blair Cobbs at Fists of Fury on June 7.
As the fight draws near, those competing on the card came together to attend the pre-fight press conference. Adrien Broner is always must-see TV, but even more so after he confessed to murder in attempts to intimidate his opponent.
“Don’t play no games because my n***** got guns with them,” Broner said to Cobbs. “I’m dead serious, bro. All I gotta do is point and they’re going to blow.”
“Me and my n****, we done already beat bodies and they’re still looking for me. And every charge has been acquitted, my n*****.”
“So, don’t come up here playing. Don’t make no false moves, I’m not playing. I will smack the sh*t out of you my n****. For real.”
“I’m not here to play no games. So, we’re gonna promote the fight, just be respectful. Don’t do no dumb sh*t.”
Broner then went on to threaten his opponent, claiming he would shoot him if he doesn’t begin to show respect.
“I’m dead serious, motherf***er, I’ll shoot you in your sh*t. For real, bro. I’m not joking, I’m not joking.”

“You ain’t even about none of that. You ain’t about none of that. You is a b****, boy. You ain’t about none of that and I’m dead serious. And I’m [going to] show you. June 7th. June 7th I’m [going to] show you, my n****.”
“You can play, I ain’t playing. I’m [going to] f*** you up. I’m [going to] beat that sh*t off your nails, boy.”
