Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated assault with a firearm, a reduced charge stemming from a 2025 shooting outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami. The plea was entered in court on November 6, 2026, according to the Associated Press and Tampa Bay Times.
Brown, who was shown in court proceedings in September, faced the charge in connection with the incident that occurred during a celebrity boxing event in Miami in 2025. The aggravated assault with a firearm charge represents a reduction from the original charges filed against the former NFL All-Pro receiver.
The case has drawn attention due to Brown's high-profile NFL career, which included stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won a Super Bowl in the 2020 season.
