It's less than a week away until Premier Boxing Champions returns to NBC, when former three division champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) collides with "Showtime" Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) in a welterweight fight taking place at 144-pounds.
The fight takes place on Saturday, June 20 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The two Ohio fighters know each other very well and they have sparred in the past. Broner is confident of victory and believes he's capable of knocking Porter out.
"This is the first time I might do a lot of things. This might be the first time I stop Shawn Porter," Broner said.
"I'm looking good and I'm feeling good. You know, one mistake with Adrien Broner and that can end a fight."
The matchup is viewed as the toughest assignment for Broner since he suffered his first career defeat at the hands of Marcos Maidana in December 2013.
Broner expects a packed house at the MGM, stating that everyone is buying tickets to see him.
"On any stage that I was ever on, I felt like...even if I fought first..like the first fight on a Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya. I fought on that card. I fought in like the first or second fight...I just felt like everybody was coming to see me...that they was just late," Broner said.
"This is a big fight because Adrien Broner is on the card. No disrespect to Shawn and Kenny, but I'm coming to win and I'm going to win."
