Barring any major changes in the schedule, DC's undefeated Peterson Brothers will be the first Beltway Boxers to be in action in 2007.
And they will be in action on national television.
The Petersons will headline the first ESPN2 Friday Night Fights telecast of the year from the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi on Friday, January 5.
Anthony Peterson (21-0, 16 KO's) will be in the main event defending his NABO Lightweight championship against Mexican Lightweight champion Juan Humberto "Ringo" Garza of Cardereyta, MX (28-2, 23 KO's).
A. Peterson, who was named Prospect of the Year by ESPN, is currently ranked number four by the WBO and number eight by the WBA. A win on January 5 could lead to a world title shot.
In the co-feature, Lamont Peterson, the WBC US Jr. Welterweight champ (19-0, eight KO's), will fight a non-title eight-round encounter against Juaquin "Killer" Gallardo of San Leandro, CA (17-5-1, six KO's). Peterson is ranked number eight by the WBA.
Congrats to the Peterson brothers. We are pulling for them.
