Top Rank Inks The Peterson Brothers

Press Release: The undefeated Peterson brothers - Anthony and Lamont - of Washington, D.C. have signed with Top Rank and will soon be in action under the Top Rank banner. Bob Arum, CEO, made the announcement today in Las Vegas. "Everyone at Top Rank is really excited. These are two fine young men who have amazing futures in front of them," Arum said. Abandoned as children, the Peterson brothers are truly a remarkable story. Anthony and Lamont suffered many hardships -- homeless, living in shelters, bus stations, surviving in the streets. The two turned to boxing as pre-teens when they met trainer Barry Hunter at a gym in Washington, D.C.  The Peterson brothers battled in amateur tournaments and are now rated by several world sanctioning organizations.
