American amateur star Emmanuel Chance has signed a multi-year promotional deal with Top Rank, the Las Vegas based company announced Tuesday.
Chance, 18, of East Orange, New Jersey, will make his professional debut on March 29 on the Mikaela Mayer-Sandy Ryan II undercard at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
“I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to showcase my skills. This didn’t hit me until I visited the Top Rank offices and took everything in. So many legendary fighters have started their careers with Top Rank, and I want to follow in their footsteps,” said the southpaw bantamweight Chance, who is managed by James Prince and co-promoted by Antonio Leonard.
“Emmanuel is an exceptional talent who has already accomplished so much. His style is suited to the professional ranks,” added Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “I look forward to watching his professional debut, the first fight in a journey that I believe will include multiple world championships.”
Among Chance’s accolades are gold medal finishes at the USA Boxing Junior National Championships in 2021 and the 2022 USA Boxing Youth National Championships. On the international stage, Chance captured gold at the Brandenburg Youth Cup in Lindow, Germany in 2023, and earned a silver medal at the U19 World Boxing Championships in Pueblo, Colorado.
Chance is the younger brother of junior featherweight pro Rajon Chance, who has a record of 8-1-1 (6 KOs).
