Who’s next for the Nigerian Nightmare? “Anybody, anybody, anybody,” he roared after the fight. “Anybody who has a title. I want to win the heavyweight championship.”
When asked about Wladimir Klitschko, who beat Peter on a decision last year before knocking out Chris Byrd to win the IBF Heavyweight Championship a couple of weeks ago, Peter said: “I will destroy Wladimir Klitschko. I learned a lot from the last fight. It wasn’t my time, now it’s my time.”
Said Duva after the Peter victory: "Sam's next fight will be a big, meaningful bout in the summer."
In contrast to Peter’s first round knockout, Brian Minto went the distance, but scored the unanimous triumph over Billy Zumbrun in an 8-round heavyweight affair. Illustrating that he was rugged as well as durable, “The Beast” dominated Zumbrun with his left jab. Minto upped his record to 24-1, with 14 KO’s. The native of Butler, Pennsylvania got past a tough-minded Zumbrun, and is now poised for bigger opportunities and better opponents in the heavyweight division.
Meanwhile, unbeaten up and coming heavyweight prospect Mike Marrone scored a “you missed it if you blinked” first round knockout over Dan Whetzel. Marrone’s record now stands at 13-0, as he ascends the heavyweight ranks with his 10th knockout victory.
