NEW YORK (October 22, 2008) – Brooklyn's unbeaten middleweight prospect Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (20-0, 15 KOs) will not be fighting November 21st on "The Grande Event" show, promoted by Cedric Kushner's Gotham Boxing at the Roseland Ballroom, due to minor discomfort in his right hand.

"With such a strong card -- John Duddy, Pawel Wolak and Jorge Luis Teron -- and Peter fighting January 17 on HBO," Kushner explained, "together with his management team we've made a decision to withdraw 'Kid Chocolate' from our November 21st show to insure success for the HBO January 17th show."

Quillin, rated in the top 10 of four regional boxing organizations, was slated to fight in the 10 round co-feature. "I'm disappointed not to be fighting on this great card but I'll be there to support everybody," said Quillin who is scheduled to fight on HBO against James McGirt, Jr. on Jan. 17. "I'm so excited to be fighting on HBO that my management and promoter, Cedric Kushner, decided to take me off 'The Grande Event' on November 21st. 'Kid Chocolate' will be even sweeter in January fighting on HBO."
