CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Everything is set for Adrien Broner, as he goes for his fourth world title in his home state of Ohio, Broner and his opponent, Russia's Khabib Allakhverdiev participated in the official weighin on Friday.

Former three-division world champion Broner(30-2, 22 KOs) came in at 138.5-pounds, while former WBA "regular" world champion Allakhverdiev (19-1, 9 KOs) was 139-pounds. They will battle for the vacant WBA "regular" world title this Saturday, Oct. 3 live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) from U.S. Bank Arena.

  

 In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING co-feature, undefeated IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Jose Pedraza (20-0, 12 KOs) will defend his title against former world title challenger Edner Cherry (24-6-2, 19 KOs).

Pedraza weighed in at 129 lbs. for the first defense of the title he claimed in a 12-round whitewash over Andrey Klimov in June. Cherry - making his second attempt at a world title - tipped the scales at a trim and ready 129 lbs.

  

 In the main event on SHO EXTREME®, top undefeated prospect Robert Easter Jr. (15-0, 12 KOs), of Toledo, Ohio, and Argentinean veteran Juan Ramon Solis (25-9, 9 KOs) will square off in a 10-round lightweight bout.

Easter was a trim-and ready 134.5 lbs. Solis tipped the scales at 136 lbs. The commission is confirming whether or not Solis is granted +1 lb. on the contracted weight since it is a non-title fight.

  

 Opening the SHO EXTREME telecast (8 p.m. ET/PT), unbeaten U.S. Olympian Jamel Herring (13-0, 8 KOs), of Cincinnati will be opposed by former African champion Yakubu "Black Mamba" Amidu (19-7-2, 19 KOs), in 10-round lightweight fight. Both fighters weighed in at 134.5 lbs.
