Three Lions\u2019 Promotions Signs Canadian Amateur King John Michael Bianco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three Lions Promotion<\/strong>s (TLP) is excited to announce the addition of 81 kg amateur standout and Team Canada member John Michael Bianco<\/strong> of Mississauga, Ontario, to its ever growing stable of talent. \u00a0Training out of Kombat Arts, Bianco quickly ascended the amateur ranks, winning provincial and national accolades, including the Tokyo 2020 Canadian Qualifier. But TLP believes the best is yet to come. Bianco is tailor made for the pros.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI love Bianco\u2019s style,\u201d said TLP Managing Director Daniel Otter<\/strong>. \u201cHe has the traditional amateur pedigree, so he does everything well, but he also brings some wrinkles you don\u2019t see much anymore. He does classic stuff. You\u2019ll see him roll his stance as he punches, so a straight power shot is always on deck. It\u2019s beautiful. Fans will love him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As an amateur, Bianco established himself as the top light heavyweight in Canada at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Qualifiers in Montreal, defeating Samuel Moses of British Columbia and Moe Zawadi of Ontario to claim top honours. Bianco\u2019s Olympic dream ended in Hungary, where he ran into World University Champion of Valerii Kharlamov of Ukraine in the opening round.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c\u00a0I was hoping to qualify for\u00a02020 Tokyo<\/u>\u00a0Olympics in the spring of 2020 but the Games were postponed to 2021 due to Covid. Then in 2021 the Americas Olympic qualifier tournament was cancelled in May, and qualifications were determined based upon rankings set prior to Covid, which was a huge disappointment to me.\u00a0 It really got me thinking about the pro game and how my boxing career might develop with the right manager and promoter behind me. I signed a management contract with Gary Freedman which led to me signing a promotional contract with Three Lions. My pro debut is scheduled for February 2022, and I can’t wait to get in the ring.”\u00a0.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bianco joins TLP\u2019s stable of contenders and prospects, including recent world title challenger Ryan Rozicki (13-1-0, 13KOs), super welterweight contender Jessie Wilcox (15-0-2, 9KOs), former two-time national champion Brandon Brewer (25-1-1, 11KOs), lightweight standout Bradley Wilcox (9-0-0, 4KOs), heavy-handed Antonio Napolitano (5-0-0, 3KOs),\u00a0top welterweight prospect Carolyn Redmond (3-0-0, 2KOs), and Canadian amateur champ Jake Daoust (2-0-0, 1KOs).<\/span><\/p>\n
