Jackson Chanet (b.1978-February 07,1978 at St.Dizier, France) is a French boxer best known for winning the 2000 European Amateur Boxing Championships heavyweight (201lbs/91 kg) title.
[edit] Amateur
Chanet was French heavyweight (201lbs limit) champ from 1998- 2000. At the Euros he defeated Sebastian Köber (Germany), Magomed Aripgadjiev (Azerbaijan) and Emil Garai (Hungary) before earning a DQ victory over Russian southpaw Sultan Ibragimov DSQ-4 to win the European heavyweight crown. At the Olympics he lost the rematch against Ibragimov.
[edit] Pro
At the pros he fought largely at super middleweight (168 lbs), 31 lbs less than as an amateur, which is extremely rare. He also won a European title against Vitali Tsypko in 2005 but was KOd by Armenian Mger Mkrtchian in his first defense. In 2006 he lost to David Gogiya.
