Adrien Broner is out to ruin Father's Day for Shawn Porter.

The world's best trash-talker wasted no time in the final press conference with his Premier Boxing Champion stablemate, who he takes on live on Sky Sports in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Live International Fight Night

Broner was livid when he was not introduced to the podium first and once Porter had mentioned Sunday's annual event, he went straight for Kenneth Porter, his father and trainer.

"This is the AB show. You're all getting it first, live and personal," he said.

"I'm fighting Shawn Porter and I'm fighting his dad. It's like I'm fighting his dad because the check comes in his dad's name, then he pays Shawn.

"Since both Shawn and his dad get a cheque, if I whoop both of them, will I get paid twice? I like Shawn as a person, but he gets so much negative energy from his dad. That's just the truth.

"After I whoop you Shawn, come sign with About Billions and I'll buy you a nicer car than your dad's. I already wrote out the contract.

"This is going to be a great fight. I'm very excited because I love putting on a show for the fans. This boy will not beat me."

Porter, who was first on stage, was smiling all the way through and far more relaxed.

The man who lost his world title to Kell Brook last summer and has been questioning Broner's decision to make the fight at catchweight, admitted it is going to "take everything to win this fight".

But he promised to make Father's Day a double celebration.

"It's so sweet to be fighting at MGM Grand, this is what you want as a fighter," he said.

"It's my time now. I'm so excited about this opportunity.

"Number one, we have to take care of business. We know that if we take care of business it'll be a great Father's Day on Sunday."
