	Pettway started his pro career in 1984 with a third round knockout over [[Ali Saad Muhammad]] in Atlantic City. The Baltimore native fought more than 25 times in and around his hometown throughout his career. Pettway won his first title, the [[USBA]] junior middleweight title in February of 1992 with a 12 round split decision over [[Gilbert Baptist]] in Pikesville, MD. Two years later, Pettway made his first bid at a world title, challenging [[IBF]] junior middleweight champ [[Gianfranco Rosi]]. However, Pettway got involved in a foul-fest and the bout was ruled a [[Gianfranco Rosi vs. Vincent Pettway (1st meeting)\|technical draw]] after six rounds.
