Three Lions Promotions (TLP) is pleased to announce the signing of Canadian amateur champion turned\u00a0leading professional prospect Jake Daoust of Orangeville, Ontario. Daoust made his professional debut in February, defeating Mexico\u2019s Jose Abraham Medina by unanimous decision. At just 22 years of age, the young middleweight has a long career ahead of him and TLP is eager to be part of his boxing journey.<\/p>\n

Daoust is keen to get back to business. “I\u2019m very excited. I can’t wait to get\u00a0back in the\u00a0ring, the sooner\u00a0the better!\u00a0It’s great to be joining a team that I know is already doing great things for boxers here in Ontario.”<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not everyday you sign a national champion,\u201d explained TLP managing director Daniel Otter. \u201cHe made his pro debut over the six-round route. That doesn\u2019t happen much here in Ontario. Almost everyone starts with a four rounder. He\u2019s looking to sprint to the top of the Canadian middleweight division, we appreciate that, and we\u2019re eager to help him accomplish his goals.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Daoust was a decorated amateur, making multiple trips to the national championships. In 2016, he halted four of his five opponents to win Canadian gold, including a stunning body-shot stoppage in the finals. Daoust also won silver in the Continental Championships and competed at the Youth World Championships in St. Petersburg, Russia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re dedicated to growing our stable of boxers with smart signings,\u201d said Otter. \u201cJake was a no brainer for us. His experience as a world-calibre amateur means he already approaches boxing like a professional. He\u2019s a massive talent and we\u2019re thrilled to have him fighting under our banner.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information, visit\u00a0www.threelionspromotions.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
