Reformed drug czar, author, and motivational speaker Freeway Rick Ross is entering the world of boxing as an adviser. Ross has signed five fighters to his company Team Freeway Boxing and plans to further their careers with the help of boxing agent, broker, and consultant Rick Glaser.
The most notable name on the Team Freeway Boxing roster is former super lightweight contender Anthony Peterson (38-1-1, 24 KOs), who is looking to rejuvenate his career. The 36-year-old Peterson’s only loss was to Brandon Rios in 2010 by DQ.
Other fighters signed are light heavyweight Alvin Varmall Jr. (16-1-1, 13 KOs), middleweight Erick Kedar Gianous (3-0, 1 KOs), welterweight VeShawn Champion (2-0, 1 KOs), and lightweight Nafear “No Fear” Charles (8-0-1, 7 KOs).
Good for the real Rick Ross. I hope he finds success
Anthony Peterson. He’s as inactive as Fres Oquendo.
“Freeway Rick Ross is entering the world of boxing as an adviser.”
– Dare I ask his boxing knowledge to be an “advisor”?
There are advisors up and down this comment thread everyday. Nearly all the Boxing fans would qualify themselves as advisors.
No kidding??? I think he’ll be ok. Rusty at first, but the it’s the same type characters as his old profession. You have to be just as ruthless. I wish him the best and hope he can shake things up a bit.
