He has speed, spectacular defence and a very crowd pleasing offensive style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe also has a great amateur background and has accomplished great things over the years. He\u2019s competed at a very high level, so he\u2019s bringing over a lot of experience and I&#8217;m excited to see his<br> progression into the pro ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altamura said that it is not just his raw boxing talent that first sparked his interest with the young fighter, but also his marketability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJack tick\u2019s all the boxes, not only is he a talented boxer, but he has a great personality, he\u2019s mature, well-mannered and has a tremendous work ethic. There is no doubt in my mind that he will go on to do great things in the pro ranks and become a major star. He is a great reflection of what boxing is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowen has shown his talent throughout his amateur career, capturing the Australian light-heavyweight title and representing Australia at the World Championships in Russia as well as winning Queensland Elite boxer of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decorated amateur though, is looking for more than the amateur ranks could provide and said no longer pursuing the Olympic Games was a decision best for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready to make a statement\u201d Bowen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could have stayed amateur, and I could have gone to the Olympics, but that was never the end goal. The Olympics was a way for me to gain experience against world class boxers before entering the pro ranks. The dream is and always has been to be a world champion, and I believe<br>now is the right time to make that transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m grateful to have Mike and a powerful brand like MTK Global behind me. The support is unbelievable and we\u2019ve developed such a great relationship over the years. I know they are going to guide me in the right direction and help me turn that dream into reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details of Bowens professional Debut will be released in January .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Denesh Adolphus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian amateur light-heavyweight champion, Jack Bowen has signed with management powerhouse MTK Global ahead professional debut.
