Lou DiBella signs Peter Manfredo

DiBella told ESPN.com that he signed super middleweight Peter Manfredo Jr. (35-6, 19 KOs) to a multi-year agreement after Manfredo split with TKO Boxing, the financially crippled promoter. Manfredo, 29, a former title challenger and star of "The Contender" reality series, has won four fights in a row since being stopped in the third round by Sakio Bika in November 2008. In his only title shot, Manfredo, 29, of Providence, R.I., was also stopped in three rounds by then-super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe in 2007. DiBella said Manfredo's debut under his banner will likely come in October in New England. "I've always liked Peter and I think he's an exciting fighter," DiBella said. "I think you have to match him right, but I think he's better at 160 than at 168 and it's a wide open division. He's a good ticket seller in New England and even though he's not going to be on the pound-for-pound list, he's never going to be in a bad fight. I'm happy to work with him."
