Quillin was unable to make the middleweight limit in an April world title challenge against WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>His September 12 bout with Zerafa will be fought at a 163lb contract weight. \u201cI\u2019m going to try my hardest and try to make that weight but I won\u2019t kill myself,\u201d said Quillin. I\u2019ve been the same weight since I was 18 years old. I\u2019m 32 now and I\u2019m getting older so the weight is not coming off the same like it did as a young man that I was once before. We still got a lot of time because the fight that I\u2019m really worried about right now is Michael.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a win over Zerafa, Quillin will be in line for a shot at WBA \u201cregular\u201d middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs\u2019 title in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m trying to keep my mind focused just on Michael because I know everybody\u2019s looking to make a name for themselves, including him,\u201d stated Quillin. \u201cIf he comes in there and beats me then he would probably be pulling off one of the biggest upsets in boxing recently. But my job is to take everybody seriously. Whether it\u2019s Michael, whether Danny Jacobs, whether it\u2019s Gennady Golovkin or whether it\u2019s any other name out there. It\u2019s just staying focused on my guy that\u2019s in front of me and Michael is that guy in front of me and my job is to try to win one round at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynqIr3bh1Wo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The same day Floyd Mayweather faces Andre Berto, unbeaten former middleweight champion Peter \u201cKid Chocolate\u201d Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KOs) faces Australian Michael Zerafa (17-1, 9 KOs) at Foxwoods Resorts Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
