Washington, DC welterweight Lamont Peterson has vacated the WBA regular Welterweight championship that he captured in February.
According to ESPN.com's Dan Rafael, Peterson sent a letter to the WBA thanking the organization for the opportunity and he did not want to "be an obstacle for the rest of the fighters in the ranking who have the objective of fighting for the belt.” Peterson won the title on February 18th, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over David Aveneysan in Cincinnati, OH.
No official word on the next opponent for Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KO's). However, there is talk he may face Errol Spence in either December or January.
