The alleged victim explained to police that he was in a high-stakes game of bowling against Broner with thousands of dollars on the line, and the boxer was allegedly down big.

The alleged victim told cops Broner went to his auto and got a gun at one point – and when he came back, he forcibly took all the money in the man’s wallet… a ton of cash.
A warrant has reportedly been issued for the arrest of boxer Adrien Broner after he allegedly assaulted a man outside a Cincinnati bowling alley in what TMZ Sports described as “a violent robbery with a gun”.
The report continues that Broner, “retrieved a handgun from his vehicle, approached the victim, demanded money, then struck (the victim) in the face with a closed fist a second time, this time causing the victim to be rendered unconscious”.
Citing official documents, TMZ reported the 26-year-old is being charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault for the alleged January 21 incident.
Our sources say… the man claims Broner waited for him outside of the alley and punched him in the face and neck – almost knocking the man out cold.
As of this report, Broner has not been taken into custody and it would appear that his fight on April 1st, set to be televised live on Spike TV, is not in jeopardy.
Broner (31-2, 23 KOs) claimed the vacant WBA light-welterweight belt – a world title in his fourth weight class – in October against Khabib Allakhverdiev.

“Adrien seems to have a penchant for walking around town and slugging people”, said Finney, per the Enquirer, adding, “We want it to stop”.
