Peter Quillin will target Danny Jacobs’ ‘huge’ chin when they fight

Danny Jacobs-Peter Quillin

FORMER WBO world middleweight champion Peter Quillin believes his attempt at Danny Jacobs’ WBA ‘regular’ world title on December 5 will be “good” for boxing.

The pair will meet at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, where both men live.

At a press conference to officially announce the fight they came face to face and Quillin realised something about Jacobs he hadn’t before.

โ€œI expect Danny to bring his great chin to this fight. I didnโ€™t notice it before but his chin looks very huge, so thatโ€™s what weโ€™re looking at now,” he said.

โ€œThis is a good guy vs. good guy fight and itโ€™s good for the sport of boxing. Iโ€™m coming to throw bombs. Itโ€™s not about the bills. Itโ€™s about the character of the person Iโ€™m fighting. This is the type of fight that is going to bring the best out of Peter Quillin.”

“Kid Chocolate” has made Brooklyn his home after moving there from Michigan as a teenager and is excited to be involved in such a fight there.

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™m the son of Brooklyn. Although Iโ€™m from Michigan, this city has taken me in like Iโ€™m one of their own. You see what Las Vegas did for Floyd Mayweather, thatโ€™s what Brooklyn did for me,” he mused.

โ€œThis fight means everything to me. Itโ€™s two guys for the battle of Brooklyn. We are both going to have great support in the building and this fight will really inspire people.

โ€œIn New York City you never get to see two guys at this level of boxing square off against one another. It means a lot and Iโ€™m very excited about this fight.”
