Numerous sources are saying that the matchup between IBF Junior Welterweight champion Lamont Peterson and WBC Interim champion Lucas Matthysse is a done deal for Saturday, May 18 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com's Dan Rafael during his weekly chat that the fight will take place with another championship bout between IBF Welterweight champ Devon Alexander and challenger Kell Brook. Schaefer has told many sources that he wants the Peterson-Matthysse contest will be part of a "tournament" where the winner of that contest will face the winner of the April 27 bout between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah with the ultimate prize being former champ Amir Khan.

The ultimate prize being Amir Khan. That's a big joke. L King Pete has already whipped Kahns ass. So how is that an ultimate prize?
Damn, hoped this would be in DC :(
Hey G when is the USA championships and I heard they fighting with no headgear this yr is that true? And if so do we have any beltway fighters fighting in it.....and this will be a tough fight for Peterson but I think he will win and out box matthysse and not brawl...he's the champ so he can box now....
Mr. Lamont Peterson is on top again and will whip Matthysse with no problem. This is a great fight for the DC guys all the way around the board. According to Richard Plepler, Michael Buffer will do the main-event with our very own Henry Jones doing the undercard. Hopefully, some of our hometown fighters are also there.

That's Broner going down on a Ho...Then he vomits on stage.
Peterson and Garcia already whooped Khan's a**, ultimate price?? Smdh, what a joke
That is Schaefer's description, not mine. That is the way he envisions this "tournament."
The USA National Championships are April 1-6 in Spokane, WA. USA Boxing does not mention anything about boxing without headgear on its website. No word yet about Beltway participation but it will be interesting since that will be the week before the Washington Golden Gloves finals.
I am happy for Mr. Henry Jones, this is a Showtime event and he deserves it.
Didn't khan get knockout by garcia ...lost to peterson. How he gets a bye all the way to the finals ..garcia and peterson should b mad..only n boxing ..no protest this can't b true.
Usaboxing says this yr in the men's only elite team will box without head gear....and usaboxing website have all the registerd athletes on there...deadline for cut off was fri march 22nd.....what site you looking at Gary?
Didn't see it on their site originally. I see the info and the list now, however.
Khan has a bigger draw to boxing that's why he is the prize and yes he lost to Garcia but he got robbed against Lamont,but neither champ has a bigger fan base than khan,Lucas will not be overwhelm by Lamont it will be a slug fest Lamont has to bang because he is a lowsy boxer with a cheap jab just look at the holt fight he look like shit when he was trying to box holt, but he looked better when he was banging,Lucas by ko
It's all about being a draw. Khan still puts butts in seats and brings in ratings.
I was thinking about the Holt fight earlier today, does anyone remember what Lamont's entrance song was?
