We had other offers on the table, but Tony Jeter definitely won over my interest with his vision and wholehearted belief in me. I’m looking forward to working with Jeter Promotions and finally bringing a world title back home in the immediate future. This all wouldn’t be possible without God first and foremost, my daughter’s inspiration, my parents and management. I’m truly grateful," said Pierce.

That is the stuff that world champions do, and I feel that he will be a world champion.
