American middleweight and super middleweight contender Peter Quillin, one of the latest fighters to join the Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California, has been put forth by trainer Freddie Roach as a potential opponent for consensus number one at 160lbs – Sergio Martinez. First off, though, “Kid Chocolate” has to take care of journeyman Jason LeHoullier at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas on Saturday, July 23.

Quillin (above) jests around with his fists that have a proven history of packing a punch (he has a kayo ratio of 75 percent) for On The Beak’s official fight photographer Stacey Verbeek. The 28-year-old American was initially slated to box veteran southpaw Tarvis Simms but is now due to fight Jason LeHoullier; a 33-year-old who has fought in Australia, Mexico and the US, but has lost his last five bouts.

Quillin (24-0-0, 18ko) took to the podium above, and also below, with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer. Quillin, at 6’1, has a four inch height advantage over LeHoullier (21-5-1, 8ko). LeHoullier has suffered two knockout defeats, one of which was against a stablemate of Quillin’s – the current WBC middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Quillins regular trainer is Freddie Roach, who believes his ward is ready to challenge Sergio Martinez for The Ring magazine belt. Roach’s primary athlete at the Mandalay Bay, though, is Amir Khan, who boxes Zab Judah in a two-belt unification contest in the evening’s main event fight.
