Jackson Chanet (born February 7, 1978 at Saint-Dizier, Haute-Marne) is a French boxer best known for winning the 2000 European Amateur Boxing Championships heavyweight (201 lbs/91 kg) title.
Amateur
Chanet was French heavyweight (201 lbs 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.
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.
