Teresa Perozzi will step up her ring activity with up to four fights on the cards next year after signing with US prize-fight matchmakers Seconds To Go Boxing.

Perozzi, the North American Boxing Council world champion, could debut under her new management as soon as February with a bout in Denmark in the pipeline.

The 33-year-old attracted the interest of Seconds To Go Boxing president George Cuozzo during her title fight against his client Asa Sandell back in September, which ended in a controversial draw for Bermuda's Perozzi.

She dominated the "Swedish Sensation", fracturing her cheekbone, and had been on the verge of quitting the sport, disillusioned with its politics and controversial 'home decisions'.

But Cuozzo wasted no time in trying to sign her to his stable after the ruthless performance and has been in discussions with Perozzi since her frustrating night in Sweden.

"Cuozzo must have been impressed with my performance against Sandell as he contacted me immediately to express his interest in representing me," said Perozzi.

"It's taken me a while to agree to the contract as I've learned you need to be careful making sure you're involved with people you trust in boxing. But I'm now excited about the future and Cuozzo has a vision of four fights per year for me.

"He's a proven manager and has been involved in women's boxing since 1998 and has excellent contacts in Europe. That's where the prize fights are."

Throughout her career, Perozzi has represented herself with the help of New York-based matchmaker Diana Rodriguez, leaving her tired of having to negotiate her own fight purses, organise training facilities and enlist trainers. She believes her new deal should remove such painstaking, but necessary, burdens and allow her to concentrate soley on pre-fight preparations.

"This is something I've been looking towards for some time," said Perozzi, who works as a masseuse. "I've had to try and deal with a lot on my own, but now having a manager helps tremendously.

"Before signing I had to be certain he would guarantee me the right training facilities both in Bermuda and overseas, as well as making sure all my son's needs are taken care of when I'm away for a fight.

"I'd become quite discouraged with the sport after the Sandell fight and felt I either had to quit or really go after the big fights in Europe. I still love the boxing side of things, but it's the other aspects that can wear you down."

One fight Perozzi would love to re-lace her gloves for would be against rising Russian star Natasha Ragosina. She has been linked with the undefeated Germany-based brawler for sometime, but has been warned by Cuozzo not to meet Ragosina in her own backyard or face a repeat of the fight fiasco experienced against Sandell.

New Jersey-based Seconds To Go Boxing will look to arrange world title bouts for Perozzi between the weight of 160-168 lbs.
