Former four division boxing world champion Adrien Broner has been hit with a restraining order.

The order comes after Broner’s recent comments on social media in which he claims he’d shoot homosexual men “in the f***ing face” if they attempted to inappropriately touch him (via Boxing Scene):

“If any f*g punk ass n*gga come run up on me, trying to touch me on all that gay sh*t, I’m letting you know right now, if I ain’t got my gun on me, I’m knocking you the f*** out,” Broner said.

“If I’ve got my gun on me, I’m shooting you in the f***ing face. That’s on God. I ain’t playing with none of these n*ggas. I don’t want that gay sh*t.”

The incident seemed to spark off when Broner accused social media star Andrew C. Caldwell of sliding into his DMs. Caldwell gained national attention when he claimed to have switched from being gay to straight after church services:

“Andrew Caldwell if you don’t get out of my inbox before I punch the testosterone out yo gay ass!,” Broner said.

“These n*ggas bold as f***! I guess I don’t do enough gangsta sh*t no more smh for respect you got to shoot a n*gga get a n*gga shot every week….. #F***OutOfHERE.”

Broner has been ordered to stay at least 500 feet away from Caldwell.

WBC world heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder has opted to re-sign with the Showtime network rather than take his chances with DAZN.

Wilder will kick off his new deal with a fight vs. Dominic Breazeale on May 18 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

According to Fight Sports, the plan would be for Wilder to fight former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko should he defeat Breazeale on May 18. Klitschko hasn’t competed since being defeated by Anthony Joshua in late 2017.

“World heavyweight title fights belong on Showtime and not on a streaming platform with a limited audience,” Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza said at today’s press conference (h/t MMA Mania).

There’s no doubt that fans of boxing are the biggest losers of this deal. You can’t fault Wilder for making the most financially sound decision for him and his family. But for the time being anyway, a rematch with Tyson Fury and a unification bout with Anthony Joshua will have to wait.

On the bright side, boxing is as healthy as it has been in some time on paper.
