VIDEO/PHOTOS: Big Apple’s Bravest and Finest are about to come to blows. FDNY firefighter Danny Quinn of Ladder 9 and NYPD Sgt. Jesse Peterford, of the 61st precinct, will slug it out Thursday when they face off in the boxing ring for a highly anticipated rematch during the Big Apple first-ever International Battle of the Badges. The pair’s bout is one of more than a dozen matches between FDNY personnel and other firefighters and law enforcement from across the world. Quinn looks to retain his edge against Peterford after notching a win by decision during last year’s charitable boxing match. Both public servants told The Post on Monday during a pre-match weigh-in that they have been training multiple days a week, watching what they eat and cutting out all the booze in hopes of tasting victory Thursday night.
