Makhachkala, September 16, 2015. The 1TV channel will broadcast live the battle between the former WBA super lightweight champion Habib Allahverdiyev and American Adrien Broner, the promoter Vladimir Hryunov reports.

On October 3 in Las Vegas, Dagestan boxer, acting in the welterweight (up to 63.5 kg), will fight with American Adrien Broner for the vacant WBA World super lightweight world title.

Allakhverdiev’s only loss came via controversial 12-round split decision to then-undefeated Jessie Vargas in April 2014. This defeat became the first in 20 fights in the professional ring for a 32-year-old athlete.

Broner is 8-1 in title fights and has collected belts at 130, 135 and 147 pounds. He has never won a title at 140 pounds.  Broner is an immensely talented but flawed fighter. He has lost two of his last five fights, to Marcos Maidana in 2013 and Shawn Porter on June 20, so he needs a win, and better yet a title, if he hopes to maintain his marquee status.
