Another wild chapter in the Antonio Brown saga unfolded this weekend — this time, with police, gunfire, and a boxing ring involved.
According to a report from Steelers OnSI, the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was briefly detained by police following a chaotic scene at a celebrity boxing event hosted by popular streamer Adin Ross in Miami. Videos from the event show Brown sprinting from the venue with what appeared to be a firearm, followed shortly by the sound of gunshots.
But according to Brown himself, he wasn’t the aggressor — he was the target of an attempted robbery and assault.
TL;DR
Antonio Brown was involved in a gun-related incident outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami. Video shows him running with what looked like a weapon before shots rang out. Brown says he was jumped by multiple people, detained by police, then released. He claims he was not arrested and plans to press charges.
Antonio Brown Says He Was Jumped
In a lengthy statement posted to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Brown clarified what he says happened.
“Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me,” Brown wrote.
“Contrary to some video circulating, police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED.”
Brown also stated that he will be pursuing legal action:
“I will be talking to my legal counsel and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love.”
Caught on Camera, Shared on Social
The event was already buzzing on social media thanks to Adin Ross’s involvement, but when clips surfaced showing Brown sprinting from the scene and the sound of gunshots shortly after, things took a turn.
Multiple attendees claimed Brown was attacked, backing up his story online. So far, police have not confirmed whether anyone else was detained or arrested.
Notably, no injuries were reported, and Brown later appeared back on Ross’s livestream — seemingly shaken but unharmed.
