Adrien Broner was not hospitalised after appearing nearly unresponsive at a concert in downtown Los Angeles, despite concerns over his condition.
The former boxing champion was allegedly heavily intoxicated during Saturday night’s event, with a source familiar with the situation attributing his condition to excessive drinking. Broner is now said to be doing well.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said crews were dispatched to a medical call at 9.56pm, with several emergency vehicles sent to the scene. They remained there for nine minutes, and department records show that no ambulance transport took place.
Concern had grown after footage from a livestream showed Broner slumped over on a sofa at the concert. Emergency personnel and others then helped carry him down a flight of stairs before he was placed in a wheelchair and taken outside.
Although the incident appeared serious, Broner was never taken to hospital, according to a source familiar with the situation.
