Andre Berto is backing Adrien Broner’s move into streaming, but he is also urging the former boxer to stay disciplined while building a new audience. Berto told TMZ Sports that he is glad to see Broner back in the spotlight, yet he warned that Broner needs to avoid situations that could quickly turn risky on camera.
Broner has shifted into streaming after his boxing career fell behind him, and he has joined Kick while creating content with DeenTheGreat. The move has helped AB reach thousands of subscribers, but it has also raised concern because some of his broadcasts have included drinking and questionable interactions with women.
Berto’s warning about streaming pressure
Berto said he recently checked in on Broner because the public nature of streaming can create new problems fast. “We’re happy to see him back up and in the light,” Berto said at LAX, adding that Broner “gotta get a grip of it” because he could “easily put himself in a very compromising position.”
The concern is not only about what Broner shows online, but also about the environment around live content. Berto pointed to alcohol and women as the biggest issues, especially in a space where some creators will do almost anything to get attention and go viral.
Why the warning matters now
Broner has struggled in recent years, and Berto said he hopes the former champ uses this new lane to reset his life. He also said the money and fame could return quickly if Broner finds success in streaming, which makes discipline even more important.
Berto’s message was direct: learn from the last few years and try to get back on track. That advice fits the moment Broner is in, since streaming can bring fast visibility, but it can also magnify bad decisions in real time.
No return to boxing, but a possible future online
Berto does not believe Broner has enough left in his body to box again, saying the damage from fighting and alcohol has likely closed that door. Even so, he sounded confident that AB can still do well in entertainment if he handles the platform responsibly.
For now, Broner’s next chapter appears to be tied to streaming rather than the ring, and Berto’s caution shows that the opportunity comes with real pressure. If Broner can stay focused, his new online path may offer the kind of fresh start that his boxing career no longer can.
