British Boxing Amateur Peter Gallagher Jr Coming To America

One of the most highly rated and decorated Jr. Boxer’s in recent memory in the United Kingdom is set to take his professional career on the road and invade America the same way the Beatles did some forty-five years ago from the same city of Liverpool, England.

Peter Taureo Gallagher Jr. who was a two-time British Jr. Champion will be relocating to the United States to resume his promising professional career.

Gallagher, just twenty years old has a professional record of 1-0 and has not fought since a six round unanimous decision over Billy Graham in his pro debut that took place on November 7th, 2009 in England.

Gallagher compiled an amateur record of 38-7 with twelve knockouts while winning the NACYB and Jr. Golden Gloves. Gallagher is very excited to be getting ready to show the American fans what many top pros already know as Gallagher has sparred with the likes of Alex Arthur, currant WBA Super Lightweight champion Amir Khan, Hot Super Featherweight Jason Litzau, Former world champion’s Jorge Linares and Kevin Kelley.

Gallagher just completed a month stint as the chief sparring partner for WBA Super Lightweight champion Marcos Maidana as he prepares for his Saturday showdown with Khan.

“I cant wait to get back to America and start fighting”, Said Gallagher.

“I just signed with my adviser Marc Abrams and he immediately secured me some fights on the east coast where I know I will quickly become a fan favorite as there are a lot of great British fight fans and hopefully they will appreciate me for the way I fight. We already have a commitment from a major promoter to look at us very early in 2011 and I believe that I will quickly become a name here in America.”

“All of the sparring with the best of the best plus my amateur pedigree shows me that I am ready to compete at a high level. I am just twenty years old and I know its going to be a process to get me to where I want to be and that’s to be a world champion.

“I met Peter in Las Vegas on the weekend that Floyd Mayweather fought Shane Mosley”, said Abrams.

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as he is almost 6’2 and can make 140 lbs. I have seen the footage on Peter and the kid has the goods but he hasn’t fought in over a year so we plan to keep him very busy in 2011. Luckily I have good relationships with a lot of promoters here so I think we can get him six or seven fights minimum in 2011”

Gallagher is expected to arrive in the United States by mid-January after he spends the holidays with his family.
