The Petersons were left without parents at an early age; their father went to prison and their mother suffered personal issues. The brothers were reportedly homeless on the streets of Washington, DC for several years. While homeless as grade-schoolers, they were noticed by Barry Hunter, a boxing coach.

Peterson returned to the ring to defend his IBF Light Welterweight title on February 22, 2013 against Kendall Holt at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, where Peterson retained his title by TKO (Technical Knock Out) against Holt.
