By Allan Fox: Adrien Broner (30-3, 22 KOs) says he’ll be cutting off the media as far as him giving interviews before his upcoming fight against Khabib Allakhverdiev (19-1, 9 KOs) on October 3rd in Cincinnati, Ohio. Broner and Allakhverdiev will be fighting for the vacant WBA World light welterweight title. Broner even said he won’t be doing anymore press conferences. I don’t know how he’s going to be able to avoid taking part in press conferences, because things like that are usually written in the contract that fighters must participate with them.
Broner says he wants to get serious about his seven-year pro career, which has gone downhill as of late with his 12 round decision loss to Shawn Porter last June. Another loss for Broner will pretty much wreck his once promising career and leave him with some poor options. Broner doesn’t appear to be good enough to beat the best fighters in the 140 and 147 pound divisions.
