Quillin has been hyped for so long and yet he’s been held back for some reason and kept away from top quality opposition during his seven year pro career.

The fight will be televised by Showtime in the United States.
This will be a good chance to see what the 29-year-old Quillin is all about because he’s been matched pretty carefully most of his seven year pro career and hasn’t faced anyone that you could really call a good fighter. He’s good power, but he’s been matched with care, keeping him away from the biggest threats in the division.
By Ian Aldous: On October 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Peter ‘Kid Chocolate’ Quillin (27-0) challenges Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (27-0) for the WBO world middleweight championship as two undefeated fighters with the same amount of professional wins look to steal the show headlined by the huge Danny Garcia Vs. Erik Morales unified world light-welterweight title rematch. This week Peter took some time to talk with me ahead of his career-defining title fight.
If there is one word you can use to describe Peter Quillin, the fighter, it would probably be ‘dedicated’. An unbeaten seven-year career has now finally seen him gain the recognition he deserves. “Nothing was ever handed to me. This is something that all my hard work has got me. All the wins that I got, all the people that they put in front of me, I never denied a fight, I’m the guy that always said yes.” He continued, “This is a business, this is how I earn my living. I’ll tell you right now, seven years of my life has been dedicated to boxing, it’s just now paying off and I’m actually making money that was well deserved for the hard work that I put in.”
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten middleweight contender Peter Quillin (27-0, 20 KO’s) will be taking a step up in class on October 20th against WBO middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (27-0, 17 KO’s) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York in a loaded card from top to bottom.
Quillin, #1 WBO, #4 WBA, is taking a considerable step up in competition in this fight, as most of his opposition has been the weak variety with either not much in the way of boxing skills or simply too old to use the boxing skills that they have.
By Sean McDaniel: WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (41-4, 7 KO’s) must be feeling a little of pressure as he goes into his fight next month against the young 22-year-old Pablo Cesar Cano (25-1-1, 19 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York. It’s a fight where Golden Boy Promotions has put the 31-year-old Malignaggi in a good position for success by selecting a light welterweight contender for him to fight instead of one of the dangerous welterweight contenders that are looking to fight Malignaggi to get a chance to take his title.

By William Mackay: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (24-0, 15 KO’s) won’t be facing Amir Khan next.

Also on the card will be WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi against an opponent still to be named, and unbeaten middleweight contender Peter Quillin vs. TBA.
