Boxing fans held nothing back when Boxing Kingdom posted Adrien Broner’s before and after photos. The post shared his 18 months of struggles with drinking. The post claimed that Adrian Broner’s alcoholism was to such an extent that he would start drinking in the morning and would not stop till he would pass out. It reported that Broner used to drink a staggering amount of 50 alcoholic drinks every single day.
The post then congratulated the boxer on his return to the boxing world. It also said that it was great to see him once again being motivated and getting back in shape. Following this, the ‘before and after’ photo was shared.

Fans were quick to point out that the sheer number of drinks that the post claimed he had was impossible for anyone to consume. It is a huge amount for even a single day, not to say anything about every day for the duration of 18 months. One person wrote that it would be pretty naive to believe that he drank 50 drinks a day for a week, let alone for 18 months.
Who’s naive enough to believe he had 50 drinks a day for 1 week, let alone 18 months????

One person mocked Broner that he drank to the point his neck disappeared.
50 a day Na I don’t believe that

One person wrote that he sees no difference in both pictures, Adrien is just flexing on one and relaxed on the other.
Looks the same to me, just flexing/tensing on the right ✅️

One person wrote that Adrien should change the name from about billions to about broke, since he has spent everything he earned. He further added that Adrien’s punch resistance is gone so he should make a comeback.
That man spent every penny he ever earned and more, needs to change his name from About Billions to About Broke. His punch resistance is long gone, I wouldn’t recommend a comeback.

However, there were also some comments that were very supportive and wished Adrien the best. One person congratulated the boxer.
I'm no fan of this guy but we'll done him
— WTF!! (@RanterBanterP) January 28, 2023
Another person wrote that even though they don’t like Adrien, everybody deserves a second chance.
Everybody deserves a second chance. I don’t like this guy at all, but good for him.
