Adrien Broner doesn’t think Arman Tsarukyan’s wrestling would work on him in a street fight.
The former four-weight boxing world champion hasn’t fought since being outpointed by Blair Clobbs in July 2024.
‘About Billions’ is nowhere near being in fighting shape, but he still backs himself to beat one of the UFC’s biggest stars.

Watch Adrien Broner & Arman Tsarukyan playfully spar
Adrien Broner and Arman Tsarukyan appeared on Deen The Great‘s latest live stream.
Naturally, the two fighters started discussing how a boxer would fare against a UFC star in the streets.
“You’re not catching me. I’ll take the boxer all day,” Broner said.
Tsarukyan showed him how he’d get the takedown, but Floyd Mayweather‘s protege insisted he could defend it.
Broner claimed he would throw massive punches to the back of Tsarukyan’s head to stop the takedown.
The 36-year-old believes that would be enough to render anyone who tries to wrestle him unconscious.
Tsarukyan laughed at Broner’s plan but refused to demonstrate that it wouldn’t work in a real street fight.
“I’m scared to hurt him,” the top UFC lightweight contender said.

When is Arman Tsarukyan’s next grappling match?
Adrien Broner will get the chance to see Arman Tsarukyan’s wrestling skills in action next weekend.
The 29-year-old is expected to face UFC legend Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 on June 13.
However, Tsarukyan is the backup fighter for the UFC White House main event 24 hours later.
Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje will hopefully go ahead without a hitch, but Tsarukyan could be called to fill in if either man falls out of the lightweight unification fight.
If that unlikely scenario happens, Tsarukyan’s grappling match with Ferguson will be cancelled.
