CINCINNATI (Aug. 28, 2015) – Former three-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner (30-2, 22 KOs) returns to his hometown looking for a fourth world title as he faces fellow former world champion Khabib “The Hawk” Allakhverdiev (19-1, 9 KOs) for the WBA Super Lightweight world title on Saturday, October 3 live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) from U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING co-feature, undefeated IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Jose “The Sniper” Pedraza (20-0, 12 KOs) will defend his belt against veteran former world title challenger Edner “Cherry Bomb” Cherry (34-6-2, 19 KOs).
“I’m excited to be back in Cincinnati taking on a tough world class fighter who is going to bring it,” said Broner. “This fight means the world to me. It’s a huge deal to have the chance to be a four-division world champion at 26 years old.”
“Broner is a good boxer, he is a fast and talented guy, but as a man I don’t have anything good to say about him,” said Allakhverdiev. “I am looking forward to a world championship winning performance and I know that if he tries to do something to get in my head, to approach me or to push me that I will be as restrained as possible and save my anger for fight night.”
“I’m very excited to be back on SHOWTIME defending my title,” said Pedraza. “This is another step in the direction of becoming a superstar in the sport of boxing. I will be victorious and make my island proud.”
“I’m in a tough fight on October 3 but I’m very excited for this opportunity,” said Cherry. “This is nothing new for me. I’m not taking Pedraza lightly. He’s a champion for a reason. This is something that comes once in a lifetime and I’m going all-in to win this title.”
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and About Billions Promotions, are priced at $154, $104, $79, $54, and $29 and are on sale NOW. Tickets are available at the U.S. Bank Arena box office, all Ticketmaster outlets including select Kroger stores, call 1-800-745-3000, or online at Ticketmaster.com.
The 12-round fight will be Broner’s first since he dropped a unanimous decision to former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter in June 20. Broner is 8-1 in title fights and has collected belts at 130, 135 and 147 pounds, but has never won a title at 140 pounds. Dropping down in weight, Broner is looking to add a fourth world title to his resume in his return to Cincinnati, where he defeated Emmanuel Taylor last September in front of his hometown fans in a 2014 Fight of the Year candidate.
Allakhverdiev’s (pronounced ah-lockh-ver-DEE-ev) only blemish came via controversial 12-round split decision in a title defense to then-undefeated Jessie Vargas in April 2014. Allakhverdiev, of Moscow, Russia, initially won the WBA 140-pound crown with an eight-round technical decision over previously unbeaten three-division world champion Joan Guzmán in November 2012. In his lone defense, the southpaw scored two knockdowns in a one-sided 11th-round TKO over former world champion Souleymane M’Baye in July 2013. This is Allakhverdiev’s first start since the questionable loss to Vargas.
Pedraza, of Caguas, Puerto Rico, won the vacant IBF 130-pound title with a dominating unanimous decision over Andrey Klimov on June 13 on SHOWTIME in Birmingham, Ala. The switch-hitting former Puerto Rican Olympian backed up his “The Sniper” moniker against Klimov as he picked apart the Russian with superior speed and accuracy. Pedraza earned a shot at the title in his previous bout with a career-best win over former world title challenger Michael Farenas last November.
Cherry, of Wauchula, Fla., is a former world title challenger who is 10-0 with 1 NC since 2009. His only blemishes since 2007 are losses to Timothy Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi at 140-pounds. Since the loss to Bradley in a bout for the WBC Super Lightweight World Championship in 2008, Cherry has gone undefeated as he made his way down to 135 and 130 pounds. Cherry, who was born in the Bahamas, owns victories over Vicente Escobedo, Monte Meza Clay and Wes Ferguson.
Adrien Broner battles Khabib “The Hawk” Allakhverdiev on 10/3
A wise man once sat down to analyze his current position and the climate surrounding him. He jotted down his reflections on life and how things were not turning out the way he thought they would go. He was heavily hyped up on his entrance to the mainstream public, but somewhere along the way...the same ones who said they loved him, started to hate him. In his poetry, he wrote a letter to his enemy, and I would like to use a quote of his. That quote went as such:
"I've been fukked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten
Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten
Y'all just piss on me, shyt on me, spit on my grave
Talk about me, laugh behind my back but in my face..."
Needless to say, that young man made a resurgence with a force unseen before and since...taking his rightful spot back as the Heir to The Throne that people deemed him as since he was 19. Ironically, we are at the same moment now...just with a new young man as the star of this movie.
Bottomline... #BandCamp is dead. You will all be witnesses to the rise of #AboutBillions.....we're coming back reincarnated and blood thirsty for revenge bytches
Now...dont worry, because even though the crew name has changed, the stanning shall remain the same
With THAT being said, let me pull back my #AboutBillions hoodie,
and get back to regularly scheduled programming
Ladies and Gentlemen, Brehs and Brehrettes, my name is @Newzz and on October 3rd, 2015, My Client makes his long awaited and HEAVILY anticipated return to The Great State Of Ohio and more specifically The Queen City aka Cincinnati inside the beautiful US Bank Arena.
He will also be making his grand return to Showtime Championship Boxing, to provide them with a strong shot of "AB" to their drowning ratings, because without a doubt any event AB takes part in is viewed on the televisions of millions.....
....and I mean MILLIONS of homes around the world
shyt was talked for months after we took defeat by challenging ourselves to be great and fighting Shawn Porter at Welterweight....and now the time is near for payback. Some of those who even called themselves my " #BandCampBrehs" even tossed "The Problem" in the bushes on the low, but only the most loyal of #AboutBillions dogs shall remain by my side (@AlbertPullhoez, @dre198703,@Grams, @LauderdaleBoss, @PJTech, @SkiHatDaGawd, @#SOG_soldier, @yawn, @YourMajesty
), because kept my eye on the entire situation,
, and was just waiting for another opportunity to come past my way, so I can jump out the bushes I was hiding in and bite they ass
What opportunity you ask?
The opportunity to become a 4 time Champion in a 4th Division
Khabib Allakhverdiev, who comes into the fight with a record of 19-1 (9 wins via KO) and former WBA Junior Welterweight Champion, is coming off of a disputed loss at the hands of Jessie Vargas, a fight where most people watching believed Allakhverdiev did enough to retain his title and remain Champion
. Unfortunately, the judges disagreed to Khabib's dismay. For this fight against Adrien Broner, Khabib Allakhverdiev has left his previous trainer enlisted the help of a new trainer who you guys may know....his name? John David Jackson
The style clash between Allakhverdiev and About Billions is sure to be an exciting one and maybe a FOTY canidate for "The Hawk" and "The Problem" who is rebounding from a loss to fellow #OhioPlayer in "Showtime" Shawn Porter. Porter defeated AB, but not before Adrien Broner became the 1st person to ever drop Porter, the former IBF Welterweight Champion and current #6 RING ranked Welterweight in the World, in a boxing match:
Also on the card, we have Jose Pedraza, the undefeated (20-0 with 12 wins coming via KO) IBF Super Featherweight Champion and RING #6 ranked Super Featherweight
, defending his Championship against the wily veteran Edner Cherry (34-6-2 with 19 wins via KO)
, in which should make for an entertaining co-feature.
No doubt, many of you will tune in to watch with malicious hatred in your hearts and in hopes of #AboutBillions taking another set-back loss in our illustrious stanning career, and keep us from acquiring that 4th belt in 4 different divisions, but in the words of Marlo, "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way"
So hate all you want, but there's nothing you can do on October 3rd to stop the unstopable
Except get mad
