Adrien "The Problem" Broner (30-2, 22 KO) is best known for his brashness outside of the ring than his accomplishments inside it. Broner has two losses on his record in high-profile bouts, but it hasn't stopped him from being exceedingly confident, and disrespectful to opponents.
In the buildup to his October 3 fight vs. Khabib Allakhverdiev, his opponent says he won't let Broner's antics get to him.

"As a man, I don't have anything good to say about him," Allakhverdiev said via Boxing Scene. "Maybe it's just an image he presents, but most likely he's the same in normal life-dirty, arrogant, ill-mannered."
Allakhverdiev recalled an infamous video Broner posted of himself flushing money down a toilet, and used it as a prime example of why he dislikes him. "It is vile and disgusting, such behavior is unacceptable. We believe that all sensible people feel the same."

Allakhverdiev (19-1, 9 KO) is looking to make a name for himself by beating Broner. He is coming off the first loss of his career, a unanimous decision loss to Jessie Vargas that many observers felt should have gone his way. Aside from Vargas, he does not have much experience vs. name opponents.
Inside the ring, Allakhverdiev gave Broner some credit. "As a boxer, he is a fast, talented guy."
Broner will surely react to Allakhverdiev calling him dirty and arrogant, if his previous promotions are any indication. He has engaged in wild trash talk with several opponents, most notably Showtime announcer Paulie Malignaggi. Allakhverdiev says he plans to keep his cool in these exchanges.
"I do not know English very well. During certain moments during the media events, I simply will not understand what he says. But if he acts in this manner, tries to do something, to approach me, to push me...I know that I will be as restrained as possible."
