Khan-Peterson Week Gets More Interesting; IBHOF Announcement Scheduled for Dec. 6!

With all the hoopla that will come in the final week before the championship battle between Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson at the Washington Convention Center, there will also be a big announcement that many Beltway Boxing Fans will be waiting for.

The announcement of the newest class of inductees for the International Boxing Hall of Fame is slated to come on Tuesday, December 6 -- just four days before the Khan-Peterson bout. As we've already said, three-time world champion and the Ring's magazine's choice for best flyweight of the 90's, DC's own Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson is on the ballot for the very first time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Johnson were to get his Hall call the very week of one of the biggest boxing cards in recent Beltway Boxing history? We'll see what happens!!
