MEMPHIS, TN On June 16th in front of an overflowing capacity crowd at W.C. Handy Park, Anthony Peterson captured the NABO Lightweight title with a commanding 12 round unanimous decision over Adan Hernandez. With the title victory, Anthony improves his record to 18-0 (14 KO’s) and joins his brother Lamont Peterson as the only two fighters from the amateur class of 2004 to capture significant titles.

Due to Anthony’s previous bout on SHOBOX in April of this year being watched attentively by NABO President Mark Reels, Anthony was chosen over many prospects to compete for this title. [details]
