Sep 30, 2015 • 12:30 PM ET
SHOWTIME Sports® met with Adrien Broner at HeadBangers Gym in Washington, D.C., as he prepares to face Khabib Allakhverdiev this Saturday on SHOWTIME®. During the lengthy interview Broner spoke candidly about his approach to the sport and learning from past mistakes.
Broner vs. Allakherdiev for the vacant WBA Super Lightweight World Championship this Saturday live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) from U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati.
"I'm on a mission and I won't talk to nobody until my mission is complete. When you get so far doing things your way, sometimes you don't see what you got to change until something happens, like a loss....take your career serious....the lights, the horse playing, of course of I'm always going to be me. I'm always going to be AB, Adrien Broner. Right now I'm still a student, I still have a lot more to do. I've already accomplished a lot at a young age but I have so much more to do. I'm still learning."
"I felt like I was selling myself short and not getting top dollar from my performances. You have to learn from your mistakes. When you understand and you know why you’re losing, then you can fix it. This next half of my career I’m going to be the AB that’s about business and about boxing.”
"Winning a fourth world title in my fourth weight class is very important....making history at the age of 26. It's a big move for me and I'm going for it. That path I'm on, anybody in my way is in big trouble."
