It remains unclear when—or even if—Adrien Broner will return to the ring. What we know now, though, is when his last fight didn’t take place.

The former four-division titlist made the headlines for all the wrong reasons after being escorted out of the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and arrested on February 21 on one count of misdemeanor trespassing. The incident took place at the pre-fight weigh-in ahead of the heavyweight title fight rematch between England’s Tyson Fury and Alabama’s Deontay Wilder.

It was unclear at the time as to why Broner wasn’t permitted on MGM grounds, other than talk of his running into trouble the last time he was in town. The media reports of the level of trouble he got into, however, didn’t at all jive with the official police report filed with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The incident in question took place at the 10:00 pm hour on November 2 at the MGM Grand. Broner and unbeaten former two-time 130-pound titlist Gervonta Davis (now a secondary lightweight titlist) were on hand to attend a show topped by Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’ 11th round knockout of Sergey Kovalev to win a light heavyweight title. On-site reports alleged that Broner and Davis got into a fight outside of Alvarez’s locker room, resulting in Davis’ publicist getting caught in the alleged fracas.

Several on-scene eyewitnesses—including veteran boxing personality Frank Espinoza Jr.—refuted such claims, insisting that both boxers were feeling “nice” but that they were simply removed from the area after attempting to heckle Alvarez’s stablemate Ryan Garcia who fought on the undercard.

Police reports confirm the latter theory, or at least dispute the original suggestion of the two boxers having engaging in a hallway brawl. The awaiting arrest warrant for Broner was due to his reaction to a boxing fan, David Gonzalez alleging the boxer struck him in the right hand, thus knocking his cell phone—which the victim used to record Broner entering the MGM Grand—to the ground.

The victim then proceeded to report the alleged assault to on-site security and law enforcement officers, who just so happened to have been already summoned to remove Broner from the premises for being too intoxicated. Efforts to issue a citation proved futile as Broner’s “current [intoxicated] state made it impossible to conduct a formal investigation into his side of the story on what happened taken place.”

According to the police report, Broner was charged with one count of misdemeanor battery "not committed with a deadly weapon, and no substantial bodily harm to the victim results for a misdemeanor."  From there, the citation sat for nearly four months before Broner resurfaced in town during fight week for the big heavyweight title fight rematch. Once seen onsite, the 30-year old Cincinnati native was arrested on grounds of trespassing and released that evening.

The original report also suggests that Mr. Gonzalez has video surveillance of the misdemeanor battery incident in question. Local authorities do not possess any footage, written proof or even any intimate knowledge of an alleged incident between Broner and Davis that evening.

Broner (33-4-1, 24KOs) hasn’t been in the ring since a lopsided points loss to Manny Pacquiao last January—which also took place at the MGM Grand. The last time he’s seen the win column came in a February 2017 points win over Adrian Granados in his Cincinnati hometown.
