"Lucas is Niagara Falls' most decorated amateur fighter since the days of Mike Strange and Billy Irwin," UBP president Tyler Buxton commented, "I'm excited to welcome him to the United Boxing Promotions Team. "Lucas joins the pro ranks at a very exciting time with the opportunity to box in Brampton at the CAA Centre, but also to put Niagara Falls on the map as a boxing destination." "We have a track record of bringing amateur fighters through the pro ranks to world title fights and we expect nothing less than Lucas bringing a world title fight home to Niagara Falls." "Since United Boxing Promotions started producing fight cards in Ontario," Bahdi said. "I have watched as a fan and world-class athlete looking to win a world title. United consistently provided Ontario-based fighters, some my friends, with top-notch venues and fights in which they started and then advanced their boxing careers while staying at home in Canada. This was huge for me. Several United fighters have since started as undercard fighters and gone on ot claim titles and world recognition, some competing for world titles. It excites me that I can stay at home with my family, and train to make my dream of winning a world title." The 25-year-old Bahdi started boxing relatively late at the age of 14. He rapidly made up for lost time, enjoying great success at the highest level of national and International amateur boxing.
