Antonio Brown faced controversy after videos showed him allegedly firing shots outside Adin Ross’s boxing event in Miami. Reports suggest Brown fired after someone tried to steal his chain. Police have not commented. The incident occurred at Ross’s ‘BrandRisk’ fight card. A video showed a shoving match and sounds of gunfire. Officials are reviewing clips to determine what happened.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was back in controversy late Friday when witness videos seemed to capture him pulling out a handgun and firing several shots outside of influencer Adin Ross’s unauthorized boxing spectacle in Miami. The video went viral on X in minutes, with reports that the former NFL star opened fire after someone tried to pull his chain off his neck. Miami-Dade police have made no official comment, and Antonio Brown’s team has remained silent.

Antonio Brown, 36, made an appearance at Ross’s invite-only ‘BrandRisk’ fight card as a guest of honor, greeting fans who chanted his initials in front of the camera. Moments later, a frenzied cell-phone video—now seen more than two million times—recorded a heated shoving match outside the venue. A metallic sound, followed by frantic screaming, indicated a gun had been fired. From another angle, a man in Antonio Brown’s signature ‘Boomin’ hoodie seemed to point a black pistol toward the sky. Some fans blamed Twitch streamer MarkyNextDoor for the attempted chain snatch, although that report is unverified. Online reaction was immediate as one user posted, “Antonio Brown was just arrested at Adin Ross’s boxing event after allegedly pulling out a firearm and firing shots while trying to fight off people who were trying to steal his chain.”

“Antonio Brown arrested after allegedly shooting firearm during brawl at Adin Ross’ boxing event,” another one added. “Antonio Brown gets detained after a huge fight breaks out after Adin Ross’ Boxing Event which lead to shots fired [shocked face emoji]” another tweet read. Officials will now have to sort through dozens of clips from Brown’s cell phone to check if a bullet was indeed fired and, if so, whether Brown or someone else fired it. Until Miami-Dade police deliver an official report, there will be suspicions about what did or didn’t occur outside Ross’s ramshackle ring.
