Two more Beltway Boxers will appear on the DiBella Entertainment card that will take place on Saturday, January 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The card, of course, will be headlined by the IBF Welterweight title bout between champion Errol "The Truth" Spence, Jr. and challenger and former three-time world champion Lamont Peterson.
Peterson's brother, Anthony returns to action for the first time since April of 2016 when he takes on Luis Eduardo Florez of Puerto Libertador, Colombia in a 10-round super lightweight contest. Anthony Peterson (37-1, 24 KO's) last fought on April 1st and won a 10-round unanimous decision over Samuel Neequaye at the DC Armory. Florez (23-8, 19 KO's) looks to bounce back from a 10-round unanimous decision loss to Brayam Rico on December 15th in Monteria, Colombia.
Also on the card, DC welterweight Keyshawn Williams will battle Denis Okoth of Siaya, Kenya in a four-round bout. Williams (1-0, one KO) made a successful pro debut knocking out Christian Sales on November 17th in Flint, MI. Okoth (1-0, one KO) comes to the United States after making his pro debut in Nairobi, Kenya and knocking out Shadrick Ignas in the sixth round on February 4th.
The Spence-L.Peterson bout will be the main event on the Showtime telecast that will begin at 9 PM ET. Reportedly, the undercard contests will be shown on Showtime's YouTube page.
