LAS VEGAS (Maj 15, 2015) – A highly anticipated showdown between former world champions Adrien “Problemet” Broner (30-1, 22 KOS) og “Showtime” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOS) headlines the Premier Boxing Champions on NBC primetime event Lørdag, Juni 20 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

“It’s time for AB on NBC and I can’t wait for the opportunity,” Said Broner. “This is a great fight that the fans wanted and I wanted. I’m going to come prepared and I’m going to put on a show. I’ve never lost at MGM Grand and I don’t plan on starting now. Porter is a strong guy but he’s never been in the ring with someone like me.”

“I feel like this fight is what the PBC is all about – bringing big fights to network TV and this is one of the biggest so far,” Said Porter. “I am excited to be the headliner against Adrien Broner. I’m always ready for a fight and facing Adrien is definitely going to be a challenge, but I’ve watched his career, even in the amateurs and I know he can be beat. I’m also looking forward to fighting at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. We moved to Las Vegas for opportunities like this and I would love to make MGM Grand my home.”

“I’m excited to have the chance to fight Roberto Garcia,” sagde Spence Jr. “He is a great fighter and I’m happy to have an opportunity to fight on this huge card. It is definitely the biggest opportunity of my career so far and I won’t disappoint.”

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring and showcase my skills on the biggest stage,” Said Garcia. “Spence Jr. is a strong up and coming fighter but I have experience on my side and I’m going to show it on June 20th.”

One of boxing’s biggest stars, Broner, 25-årige Phenom der har indsamlet verden titler på 130, 135 og 147 pounds, is looking to add another win to his impressive resume. The Cincinnati-born star scored a dominant victory over John Molina Jr. på Marts 7 at MGM Grand and will look to return to the same big stage and take down his fellow Ohio-native Porter. Broner har vundet over folk som Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de Leon og Antonio Demarco på vej til at blive en tre-division mester.

En atletisk vidunder, den 27-årige Bær is eager to keep his momentum going after scoring a fifth-round knockout over Erick Bone on the inaugural Marts 13 PBC on Spike fight. The Akron-native dominated Devon Alexander in December 2013 to win his previously held world title. Han fulgte det op ved overmandede tidligere to-division mester Paulie Malignaggi med en fjerde runde arbejdsnedlæggelse i april 2014.

A 2012 US. Olympian der havde en højt dekoreret amatør karriere, 25-årigeSpence Jr. will look to remain undefeated when he steps into the ring for the biggest challenge of his career. Den Desoto, Texas born fighter was dominant in his PBC debut onApril 11 da han besejrede Samuel Vargas ved femte runde knockout.

En veteran fra sport for næsten 15 år, the 35-year-old Garcia has racked up nine straight victories and will look to extend that streak to 10 when he faces Spence Jr. påJuni 20. Den Weslaco, Texas native has most recently put together wins over Victor Manuel Cayo, Breidis Prescott and a unanimous decision victory over James Stevenson on the April 24 PBC-kort.
