Press Release: Heavyweight Jameel “Big Time” McCline (38-7-3, 23 KOs) will face newly crowned WBC interim titlist Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter (28-1, 22 KOs) at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, October 6, 2007. McCline was supposed to meet Vitali Klitschko on Sept. 22 in Munich, but Klitschko pulled out less than two weeks before the fight. McCline subsequently agreed to fight DaVarryl Williamson. The originally scheduled main event on the Garden card was supposed to have been WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev defending against Peter; however, Maskaev’s promoter pulled the boxer out of the match on Friday (Sept. 21) due to a reported back injury. The WBC named Peter its interim heavyweight champion on Monday (Sept. 24), and McCline agreed to step into the main event to face Peter late on Tuesday. “It’s crazy but that’s why you’ve got to be ready for anything in boxing,” McCline said. “I was in against Vitali, then Vitali was out. I was in against Williamson, and now I’m fighting for the world heavyweight championship against Samuel Peter. Tickets are on sale at the Garden box office and all Ticketmaster locations.
