Ryan García offers to help struggling Broner

Concern continues to grow around Adrien Broner after troubling recent appearances online. The former four-division champion has shown signs of personal decline in several viral clips.

Recently, Broner appeared on livestreams hosted by influencer boxer Deen The Great. Viewers quickly noticed something was off. He looked intoxicated and disoriented in multiple awkward moments.

In one clip, Broner asked a cameraman to pay for his ride home. The moment shocked fans, especially given his past earnings. He once made millions during the peak of his boxing career.

As concern spread, Ryan García stepped forward with a public message. Garcia urged Broner to seek help and offered support without judgment.

“Sad to see,” Garcia said. “AB, if you see this, call me. Let’s get you situated. No need to keep drinking. Let’s be better. Not judging. Let’s lock in.”

The message struck a supportive tone rather than a critical one. Garcia made it clear he wants Broner to recover and refocus.

Adrien Broner’s struggles have not come out of nowhere. He has dealt with alcohol issues for years. His behavior outside the ring has often raised concern among fans and peers.

Last year, former protege Gervonta Davis spoke openly about Broner’s situation. “It’s heartbreaking to see,” Davis said at the time.

Even more incidents followed. Months later, Broner was removed from an interview by Cam’ron. Reports indicated he harassed host Treasure ‘Stat Baby’ Wilson during the appearance. Observers again believed he was under the influence.

Despite the chaos, Garcia’s outreach carries added weight. He understands the struggle firsthand. In recent years, Garcia admitted he battled alcohol problems and other personal issues.

However, he has worked to turn things around. The 27-year-old now reports being clean and sober. He credits support from Mauricio Sulaiman and the World Boxing Council.

Because of that journey, Garcia’s message feels personal. He knows how difficult change can be. He also knows how important support becomes during that process.

Now, he appears ready to pay it forward.
