Only one company, Headbangers Promotions, bid Tuesday for the right to promote a Lamont Peterson-Zab Judah junior welterweight title fight ordered by the IBF.
Headbangers Promotions, out of Washington, D.C., won with a bid of $50,000, the minimum allowed by the Springfield, N.J.-based IBF. Headbangers Promotions is operated by the family of Barry Hunter, who trains Peterson and saved the boxer and his younger brother, lightweight Anthony Peterson, from Washington’s streets when they were abandoned children.
The move was widely viewed by boxing insiders as Hunter’s insurance policy in the event a Lamont Peterson-Timothy Bradley rematch doesn’t come to fruition.
