Adrien Broner strikes again! As Bill Haney and his son Devin Haney prepare for the Ryan Garcia fight on April 20 in New York, ‘The Problem’ Broner shared a picture of Papa Bill and Alycia Baumgardner on social media today, seemingly training together. However, the caption of the post rubbed Bill the wrong way!

In his post, Broner claimed there are several great trainers to train with instead of Bill Haney. He added, “But this ni**a [Bill Haney] ain’t good for nothing,” while making some derogatory comments about Bill. Broner even claimed the revered coach doesn’t even train his own son, suggesting Baumgardner should get away from him. Bill, of course, wasn’t going to take any of that lying down, so he quickly responded on Instagram.

Bill Haney retaliates in kind

Devin’s father is no stranger to trash-talking. His numerous feuds with people in the boxing world are evidence of the same. So, responding to ‘The Problem’ Broner, Bill claimed, “He is talking about the queen Alycia Baumgardner right now, and he got my name mixed up in this bulls**t.”

Having dealt with Broner in the past, Bill added further, “Where is he at? Since he is been getting a bunch of money, it’s all about billions, or it’s all about broke.” Interestingly, this isn’t even the first time these two parties have clashed heads. In the past, Broner and Bill had another exchange on social media concerning Bill’s son!

Adrien Broner offers to mess up Devin Haney

Before Devin Haney signed up to fight Ryan Garcia, there was much debate about who Devin should fight next. Seeing ‘The Dream’ Haney’s growing popularity among the masses, Broner took his shot. In an Instagram post, Broner wrote, “Ah [Bill Haney] if you wanna get your son [Devin Haney] f**ked up, send the contract. I ain’t never ran from no man in boxing.”

As expected, Bill didn’t wait long to respond to the callout, downplaying Broner’s pull in the boxing world. “AB, you once represented the respect of boxing, the respect of the hood. Don’t worry about it, AB. We gon’ take it over from here. It’s the Devin Haney era,” Bill said in a video. “Get back to doing what you [were] doing, brother. And Devin is doing what he’s doing: representing this s**t to the fullest,” Bill continued.
