SHOWTIME SPORTS VIDEO EXCLUSIVE
"Boxing is the only sport that defines life - life is about a struggle, fighting through a struggle, overcoming a struggle. And that's what a champion is."
- Peter Quillin
From fighting in the streets of Grand Rapids, Mich., to sleeping on a mattress he found in the trash in New York City, life was a constant struggle for Peter Quillin. But the 30-year-old "Kid Chocolate" overcame those obstacles to become an undefeated world champion and a force in the middleweight division. Check out this clip to hear Quillin describe what makes him a fighter. And tune into SHOWTIME on Saturday, Oct. 26 to see Quillin defend his WBO Middleweight World Title against Gabriel Rosado.  |
