More bad news for Adrien Broner ... the troubled boxer is now being sued for sexual battery by the woman who claims he groped her genitals at a Georgia mall, TMZ Sports has learned.
The woman behind the suit is Kaila Crews ... who claims she was walking around the Lenox Square shopping center back in February when Broner approached her and "swiped his hand across [her] private parts."
"At no point had Plaintiff given [Broner] permission to touch any part of her body," Crews' lawsuit states.
Part of the incident was captured on video -- including the moment Broner was handcuffed by police and arrested for misdemeanor sexual battery.
FEBRUARY 2018
Crews claims she suffered emotional distress from the incident and says Broner needs to pay up for any injuries she experienced, along with pain and suffering.
As for the criminal case, investigators are still collecting evidence.
Meanwhile, Broner has a fight scheduled for April 21 -- where he's due to face off against Jessie Vargas at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

UFC's Khabib Asked to Fight Conor McGregor ... As UFC 223 Replacement
"My first option when Tony's out, I tell, 'Hey, where's Conor? I need Conor. He's champ. Bring this guy.'"
That was Khabib Nurmagomedov's reaction when he found out Tony Ferguson injured himself and couldn't fight at UFC 223 ... he wanted Conor McGregor first, not Max Holloway.
"When UFC call [Conor], he say, 'Oh, I am not ready,'" Khabib tells TMZ Sports.
For the record, Dana White says he didn't want to rush Conor into a short-notice fight because he wants more time to promote a McGregor scrap. Plus, weight could have been an issue.
Instead, UFC booked Holloway -- and Khabib says he's 100% confident he'll smash the Hawaiian easily.
In fact, Khabib says he's already thinking about his next opponent ... and it ain't Conor -- it's another UFC legend.
"After this fight, I'm gonna ask UFC -- 'Hey, Madison Square Garden, me vs. Georges St. Pierre. November. 155 (pounds)."
Khabib had a message for Ferguson, too ... and he didn't hold back.

Blac Chyna I Went Nuts at Six Flags 'Cause I Got Called a Hood Rat
Blac Chyna's Six Flags stroller freak-out started when some kid touched her baby girl -- and all hell broke loose when one phrase was uttered in her direction ... "hood rat."
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that the girl who made contact with baby Dream began shouting at Chyna shortly afterward, calling her the derogatory term. That girl began inching closer to Chyna as well, causing BC's entourage to step in to block Chyna.
We're told the instigating girl ended up pushing one of Chyna's friends, and a fistfight broke out. Meanwhile, Dream and King were both whisked away by their nanny before all the mayhem.
As we reported ... Chyna addressed the public meltdown by saying she was simply defending her daughter, and expressed she would protect her children "at all costs."
While it would seem that Dream's safety would be enough to set Chyna off, it appears that the final trigger was the term "hood rat."

Blac Chyna Turns Stroller into Weapon During Angry Outburst At Six Flags
4/2/18 -- Chyna just commented about the altercation, stating, "Being famous is hard enough dealing with scrutiny but when someone feels comfortable to come and touch your child it's a whole other story. I do not condone violence nor am I a violent person but shout out to all of the amazing mothers out there that will protect their children at all cost."
Blac Chyna was in a blind rage at Six Flags after some other park guests set her off and she turned her own daughter's stroller into a weapon.
Chyna was at Six Flags Magic Mountain just outside L.A. Sunday, and you can tell from the video, she's pissed. It's unclear exactly what led to Chyna's outburst, but it's easy to tell she's trying to go after someone.
Chyna breaks away from her security guard for a brief moment and grabs onto Dream's stroller, whipping it around and attempting to attack her provoker with it. Another video shows a fistfight break out between two women, we're told one was Chyna's friend.
Dream was not in the stroller during the outburst, but it's unclear where she was from the video we've seen.
Chyna's been the target of heavy criticism lately for dating 18-year-old rapper YBN Almighty Jay. The couple has gone very public in the last few weeks.
We've reached out to a rep for Chyna -- so far, no word back.

Dana White Conor Wants Floyd ... In a UFC Fight!!
If Floyd Mayweather ever steps inside the Octagon, Conor McGregor wants to be the guy staring at him from across the cage -- so says Dana White.
We got the UFC prez out in L.A. ... and asked him if there was anything cookin' on the Mayweather-to-UFC front.
Dana wouldn't say anything definitive, but he did drop this pretty cryptic message on us.
"I'm interested and obviously he's interested. The last time we were both interested you saw what happened," White told TMZ Sports.
As for his first opponent -- "Possibly Conor. I know Conor wants it."
BOOM!!!
FYI, Floyd recently said it might be tough for him and McGregor to fight 'cause he'd want Conor to drop back down to 145 pounds, but at the same time -- "if the numbers are right, then we can make it happen."
Stay tuned ...

Joanna Krupa I Love the UFC's Joanna ... 'Pol**ks Ruuule!'
Here's Joanna Krupa declaring her allegiance to Poland's #1 UFC star, Joanna Jedrzejczyk ... and using some questionable vernacular along the way.
We got Krupa -- who moved from Poland to the U.S. when she was 5 -- in the Bev Hills ... where 'The Real Housewives' star told us she was a huge fan of her same-name sister.
"I love her. She’s Polish, of course I support her!" Krupa told TMZ Sports.
But when we asked if JJ could beat Rose Namajunas in their UFC title rematch ... that's when things got a little dicey.
"She can do it, she’s a Pol**k. Pol**k’s rule!"
"We're driven ... especially if you come from a communist country you have that in your blood."
FYI, the P-word ain't really the most P.C. term ... and Poland hasn't technically been communist in 3 decades.
But, hey -- we're sure JJ still appreciates all the love.

Hulk Hogan I Owe All Wrestlers An Apology ... Not Just Black Ones
Hulk Hogan says it's ALL wrestlers he owes an apology to for his past use of the N-word ... telling TMZ Sports it shouldn't just be the black guys he has to say sorry to.
We got Hulk out at LAX, and wanted to get his thoughts on WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry saying that before Hogan is reinstated in the WWE, he needs to apologize to the African-American performers.
Mark's point was that Hogan has specifically offended these men and women, and he should specifically address them before he gets to come back.
Hogan definitely agrees amends have to be made, but says he actually needs to do it across the board.
"I totally agree with him, not to the black wrestlers, to all the wrestlers. What I said was way out of line and I'm forever sorry for that."
We should say that Hogan has apologized before, but if big stars like Henry think he needs to specifically address the Black contingent of the WWE, might not be a bad idea.

UFC's Tony Ferguson I Don't Hate Khabib But, He's Mentally Weak
Tony Ferguson respects Khabib Nurmagomedov as an athlete ... but says the 1 area he falls short is "mental toughness," and he's gonna expose that next weekend at UFC 223.
We spoke with the UFC interim lightweight champ in the lead-up to their long-awaited title fight ... and Tony told us Khabib's already shown his true colors by botching his weight cut days before they were scheduled to fight at UFC 209.
Ferguson says Nurmagomedov "took food off my kid's table" by getting that fight scrapped ... and he ain't letting that slide.
There's a lot more ... but to catch the full interview with "El Cucuy," you gotta tune into the "TMZ Sports" TV show tonight on FS1!

Fabolous flew into such a rage at Emily B, the mother of his 2 kids, that he punched her 7 times and also threatened to shoot her, as well as her family members ... according to law enforcement sources.
TMZ broke the story ... Fabolous surrendered to police Wednesday night and was booked for aggravated assault and terroristic threats. Emily told police things have been heated with the rapper since early March, when they had an argument in L.A.
She claimed he later sent her a text saying he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat, and would kill her ... but he "did not want to go out like that." Emily claims instead ... Fabolous repeatedly punched her in the face, and knocked out her 2 front teeth.
Emily says she feared for her life, and remembered Fabolous has 2 handguns in their home in Englewood, NJ -- so, she called her father to remove them before Fab got home. She told cops ... Fabolous was infuriated when he arrived at the house to find her father and brother there, and went to look for his guns.
She claims he stormed out of the house, and told her and family "he had a bullet for them."
NorthJersey.com first reported Emily's allegations.

Dana White GGG-Canelo Fight Will Happen Too Much $$$ On The Line
Canelo Alvarez is suspended, but his rematch with Gennady Golovkin -- only 36 days away -- will go on, according to Dana White ... 'cause there's too much damn money on the line.
We saw Dana in L.A. and asked him about the most anticipated rematch in boxing ... and whether there's any shot in hell the fight happens May 5.
Remember ... Canelo was temporarily suspended after twice testing positive for a banned substance (he blamed contaminated beef). This week, the Nevada State Athletic Commission hit the champ with a formal complaint -- meaning he is facing a year suspension.
Still, Dana believes the almighty dollar will prevail, and come Cinco de Mayo, Canelo and GGG will fight.
"Yeah, I think it will. There's too much money involved."
Don't refund that ticket just yet.

Deontay Wilder I Wanna Kill A Man In The Ring ... Seriously
Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder says most boxers' worst fear is his fantasy ... telling the world he desperately wants to KILL A MAN IN THE RING before his career is over.
Wilder sat down with Charlamagne Tha God & Angela Yee (DJ Envy probably already walked out of the interview) on "The Breakfast Club," when he made the incredibly frightening statement.
"I want a body on my record. I want one. I really do."
Ummm, yeah. If any of you think he's joking, Wilder actually goes on to give reasons why he feels this way, saying he's not in his right mind when he's in the ring under his "Bronze Bomber" persona.
"That's the Bronze Bomber. He want one. When I'm the Bronze Bomber I don't care. I want that on my record."
In case you were wondering, it DOES happen, and most fighters say it haunts them their entire life. But, Wilder says only part of his split personality would feel remorse, and even then it's part of the game.
"Deontay would feel bad, but we signed up for that."
Yikes. You sure you want that, Anthony Joshua?

Sources close to the 'Basketball Wives' star tell TMZ ... Jennifer's legal team has added Horace Hodges to her witness list in her quest to get a permanent restraining order against James "Tim" Norman. Remember, she already got a temporary order against Tim after claiming he's violent and threatening. He calls BS.
Jennifer's witness -- a former pastry chef who worked with Tim -- has allegedly come face-to-face with Tim's violent ways. He sued Tim back in June of 2017 ... claiming Tim damaged his left eye after punching him with his fist.
Horace sued Tim for physical pain, mental anguish, physical disfigurement, impairment and other damages.

Deontay Wilder says Anthony Joshua's so scared to meet him face to face, he's doing everything he can to prevent an in-ring confrontation after his fight vs. Joseph Parker -- including threatening a restraining order!!
At least, that's what Deontay's hearing.
Wilder says AJ was also planning on beefin' up security at the arena ... so he ain't even gonna bother making the trip out to Principality Stadium in Wales for Joshua vs. Parker.
"I'm starting to hear about restraining orders and all this stuff ... I don't think they want this fight," Deontay tells TMZ Sports.
Willder says it sucks they can't square up after Joshua presumably beats the brakes off Parker ... 'cause it'd be the perfect opportunity to promote their heavyweight grudge match.
Deontay wants his fans to know he's sorry ... but promises DW vs. AJ is a matter of when, not if.
