"Just when i thought you couldn't stoop any lower!" Omar Figeuroa accuses Adrien Broner of using mental health as an excuse for pulling out fight 

Omar Figueroa Jr. and Adrien Broner were scheduled to fight on Saturday, August 20. Broner, however, pulled out on fight-week, citing mental health issues.

Figueroa, however, believes that Broner is using it as an excuse to pull out of the fight. He shared on his Instagram:

“What really passes me off is that now this MF wants to use MentalHealth as a FKN excuse. That I have a problem with, because that’s BS... Please show us the proof that you went and sought professional help..."

He added:

"You don’t get to undermine mine and countless other’s journeys and struggles with mental health because of your undisciplined/childish dumb a* F**k You Broner! Just when i thought you couldn't stoop any lower!"

Clearly, Omar Figueroa was not pulling any punches on social media. He has spoken up about his journey with mental health in the past.

In a press conference for the bout, Figueroa spoke about how it feels like he has a new lease of life after being able to control his mental health.

As it is something he has suffered from, he is outraged that Adrien Broner is using it as an alleged 'excuse'.

Fans on social media likewise have not been sympathetic towards Broner and believe that he has been using it as an excuse to drop of the fight.
