Peter Manfredo

Peter, 22, was introduced to the art of boxing by his father, uncle, and grandfather (all of whom were professional fighters) at a young age. Peter relied on the expertise of his champion father in order to acquire the discipline needed to be a successful boxer. Currently ranked no. 3 in the world, Peter risks his undefeated record for a shot of Contender glory. Leaving his wife and 2-year-old daughter behind, Peter hopes to make his prestigious fighting family proud. “If I can win a couple of big fights and make some good money for my family so they don’t struggle, than that’s what I’m going to.” “They’re going to have to kill me to get me out of it.”
